announce a ban on huawei in the uk's sg networks. a second wave of coronavirus infections this winter could be worse than the first, according to scientists. and kate, the duchess of cambridge, on being a mum, and why she's backing a new bbc initiative to support families with young children. wearing face coverings in shops in england will be compulsory from the end of next week, after mixed messaging from the government over the weekend. the new rule comes in on the 24th july, and will apply to shops and supermarkets. children under the age of 11, and those with certain disabilities, will be exempt, as is the case on public transport. those who do not wear a covering could be fined up to £100. the move brings england in line with scotland, germany, spain and italy. our political correspondent jessica parker has this report. borisjohnson‘s been seen out and about in a mask in recent days, signalling a change to come for england. now, those changes have been confirmed. face coverings will be mandatory in shops and supermarkets from july 24th. fail to wear one, you could face a fine of up to £100. enforcement will be carried out by the police. there will be exemptions, as there is on public transport, for under—11s and people with certain disabilities. wearing a face mask in shops is already mandatory in scotland, and labour's accused the uk government of being muddled after some mixed messaging from ministers, and slow to act. we are behind the curve again. there was a delay for lockdown, delay on testing, delay to protect our care homes. there's confusion over masks. when are we going to get ahead of this virus and this pandemic like so many other countries have done so already? downing street says the prime minister has been clear on the issue, with growing evidence masks can help protect people in enclosed spaces. it is about, you know, measuring the overall risk and taking proportionate mitigations to deal with the risk that's there. and as you open up more parts of the economy, including pubs and restaurants, and as you open retail environments, obviously, there is therefore a slightly increased risk. businesses may hope that it will also grow confidence so more shoppers return to the high street. jessica parker, bbc news. doug russell is health and safety officer at the union of shop, distributive and allied workers — which has about half a million members across the uk. hello, mr russell. good morning. bullseye's how do you react to this, and how will this affect your members? sorry, could you repeat? divide how do you reactivate and how will this affect your members? we are pleased that government has finally made up its mind. our members will have to deal with it as they have dealt with all the other changes thrown at them as the crisis has developed over the last few months. have there been issues for members in scotland, where it is compulsory? so far it has been pretty good in scotland, feedback is that the vast majority of the public are complying and we are not aware of any major serious incident that have taken place, but there is time to find out how they are a minority are awkward and objectivity. what do you advise members to do it somebody walks in when they are meant to be wearing a mask and they are not? they are very clear in scotland and i hope they will be in england, it is not thejob i hope they will be in england, it is not the job of the shop workers to police this, they have no powers in that circumstance and are not in a position to tell whether the person not wearing a mask is a valid reason all is just objecting to the principal. what they should do it somebody is persisting and causing a problem is to let the manager know. shop staff do not have depleted so it sounds like that should turn will not be a conversation, or will there be? they should not be in a position where they are expected to challenge people. there will be people with legitimately —— legitimate reasons. can you imagine a scenario where a member of staff might contact the police because there has been an issue with a customer not wearing a mask? if they are asked politely and then swears at them or is abusive or they persistently come in not wearing a mask and are a threat to others and that is a legitimate reason to call the police. thank you very much, mr russell. doug russell from sage. —— usdaw. scientists advising the government say a second wave of coronavirus infections this winter could be more serious than the first, with 120,000 hospital deaths a "reasonable worst—case scenario". a report commissioned by the chief scientific advisor says action must be taken now, while the infection rate is low, to minimise the risk of a second peak over the winter months. its recommendations include early flu vaccinations for health and social care workers, a public information campaign and a rapid monitoring system to stop local outbreaks. and we'll be speaking to professor dame annejohnson — who was one of the people behind that report — in around ten minutes' time. california has reversed the easing of many coronavirus restrictions as the number of infections there continues to rise sharply. bars, restaurants and cinemas are among the businesses which have been ordered to close their doors immediately. peter bowes reports from los angeles. testing times. a rolling back of california's reopening plan because the virus is still spreading fast. the new measures mean sweeping closures of businesses that involve people getting together indoors. restaurants, bars, cinemas, and museums are all being forced to close. more than 7,000 people have died from covid—i9 in the state and the rate of new cases has risen to 8,000 a day. in california's 30 worst—affected counties, the renewed lockdown measures will be even tighter, with gyms, hair salons and churches all told to close their doors. this virus is not going away any time soon. i hope all of us recognise that if we were still connected to some notion that somehow when it gets warm, it's going to go away or somehow it's going to take summer months or weekends off, this virus has done neither. when the pandemic started, america's golden state fared much better than many other parts of the country, closing down early with far fewer people infected by the virus. but no longer. for california, there's a long, hot summer ahead, with no relief in sight. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. police have confirmed that the body found in a lake in southern california is the missing glee actress naya rivera. the 33—year—old went missing last wednesday during a boating trip with her four—year—old son. he was found alone and asleep in the boat. regan morris has more from los angeles we have a missing person... naya rivera and her son came to lake piru to rent a pontoon boat and escape the southern californian heat. mother and son went swimming, but naya rivera never got back on the boat. authorities searched for six days until her body was recovered. police believe rivera may have gotten caught in the heavy brush and trees of the lakebed. her four—year—old sonjosey was found alone, asleep, wrapped in a towel. the boy told officials his mother helped lift him onto the boat, but then she disappeared under the water. she was not wearing a life jacket. the idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting — it was unanchored — and that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat, but not enough to save herself. 0fficials used sonar equipment and cadaver dogs to search for rivera. her friends and family gathered at the lake, many searching themselves. naya rivera was an actor and singer, best known for playing lesbian singer santana lopez on the hit musical show glee. our hearts also go out to naya's many friends and fans who have been hoping for the best for the past few days. the sheriff said rivera's death was said to be a tragic accident, and they did not suspect foul play or suicide. the government is likely to announce today the chinese tech company, huawei, will be stripped from the uk's 5g infrastructure. earlier this year, borisjohnson decided to grant huawei a limited role in britain's 5g networks, but many within the prime minister's own party raised concerns over the potential implications, including chair of the commons defence committee tobias ellwood, who has been leading an enquiry into the security of 5g, and who we'll speak to shortly. now, in fact? now, infact? no, we willspeak now, in fact? no, we will speak to norman first at westminster. how are you? why this change of heart? blu ntly you? why this change of heart? bluntly because you? why this change of heart? blu ntly because mrjohnson you? why this change of heart? bluntly because mrjohnson has no option, he does not have the numbers to get you the huawei deal on 5g. we saw a result in much worse at eight tory mps rebelled against him, he has a majority of 80 so they almost got to the tipping point of a0 —— we saw a result in march were 38 tory mps rebelled against him. that has been a sea change in government more broadly about attitudes towards china, from the era where we viewed china, from the era where we viewed china as a gateway to a new economic role in the world, a key partner and a new market for britain to one where frankly review it as a potential adversary, a country which seems increasingly hostile and antipathetic to western values and democracy. there has been the handling of covid, the secrecy surrounding the initial outbreak of covid—i9, the treatment of that we jemerson, hong kong, there has been a total reappraisal of british relationships with china so now it is the scale of the backtrack from boris johnson's team. let's speak to tobias ellwood. he's a conservative mp and chair of the commons defence select committee. he is also a former army captain. hello to you. i wonder if you could explain to our audience what the issue is, because huawei has been involved in uk telecoms infrastructure since 2003? norman gave a great summary of the challenges we face. huawei has been here for a decade that we are starting to learn more about this company. it is obliged to share its data with the chinese (inaudible) and we are seeing the equipment used on its own people, there is a wider president about whether this is a country we want to do business with, bearing in mind how it treats its own people, such as the uighur population in one province. and there are the activities in hong kong as well. i think people are revisiting their views on china, not least because of covid—i9 as well. they hit the outbreak of this pandemic, we are also seen activities in the south china sea and there is more concern about the indebtedness which many countries are now obliged to follow china's leads. we are seeing a trajectory towards a bipolar world, a challenge, if you like, to what the west sta nd challenge, if you like, to what the west stand for, so i am pleased this is the first opportunity for this government to stand up and say no more. it is not the first opportunity, because you have been in powerfor ten years. opportunity, because you have been in power for ten years. you are right, it is not the first opportunity, it is the first indication that we will stand up. norman indicated that we have wanted china to mature into this responsible global stakeholder budget has become a superpower without any of the responsibilities that a superpower should show. we are going to an enduring international emergency but there is no international leadership and china is discreetly pressing its advantage, taking advantage of our rickety world order to pursue its own agenda. ultimately that will lead to a clash in ideology. it will be interesting to see how china reacts. i expect repercussions. when australia demanded an inquiry, quite rightly, into the outbreak of covid—i9, what happened in wuhan province, who was patient zero, china responded with terrace being placed on them. when david cameron met the dalai lama we were frozen out for an entire year. it is the type of country we want to do business with. from my perspective, a defence angle, this is a new character of conflict, it is less about terrain but more about control over their data. if you control data you control the way we live, we are becoming ever more reliant on the use of the intranet, how we communicate, do business, socialise, you can track people, you can use personal information, it is so important that critical national for insecure and that is why i am pleased that huawei will now be removed from britain. how much is the security issue the main thing? the uk does business with other regimes that have appalling human right abuses, for example saudi arabia. this is a very, very good question. in the west i think we have become collectively weaker in what we stand for, what are our values we are willing to defend? that has given space for countries like china to advance, so we need to show collective leadership and more decisiveness. there is a 1930s mood at the moment, economic recession, more countries becoming isolationist, less exposure to the global trade and so forth, the absence of international leadership and ultimately international organisations not able to hold countries like china or indeed russia to account. on the question of saudi arabia, do you the british government pulls out of contract that and advises other british firms to do the same? we yemen until the 19705, to do the same? we yemen until the 1970s, the of yemen, —— we run yemen until the 1970s, the south of yemen. we should have more engagement in seeking solutions. saudi arabia was conducting this campaign a 50,000 feet, trying to bomb the... as people accept you want more engagement with saudi arabia, why do you not advocate the same strategic policy for china? when the transition period ends, we were told that countries like china, india and many others, we want to do free—trade deals with, now you are saying let's ban them from the uk, which will have a massive knock—on effect, potentially if they reciprocate, making it harderfor british firms to invest in china and potentially reducing their investment in this country. 18th inconsistent. i did not use those words, ban. when you speak about companies like alibaba, huawei, they are allowed to operate across the world. facebook, ebay, anderson, they cannot operate in china in the same way they can hear, that is an uneven playing field. we absolutely wa nt to uneven playing field. we absolutely want to do business with china, it isa want to do business with china, it is a growing economy, but they must operate by international rules and they have not been doing that, they have been taking advantage of the factors willjonathan ford. we must engage with china, they are not going away, they will slowly overta ke going away, they will slowly overtake the united states militarily, technologically and economically, that at the moment because i'm projecting as one towards another cold war, and as we stand up —— unless we stand up and agree new rules to take as into the next generation. our intelligence agencies said back injanuary, and i'm sure you have great respect for them, that any which could be manage, and that is why your prime minister concluded that huawei's market check should be capped at 35% for 5g networks. —— market share. are our intelligence agencies run? no, the changes united states actions which had an impact on british chip manufacturers, anybody doing business with huawei could not the business and united states, that had an impact. there is wider political question, away from the advice that gchq provides, which is what i am speaking about, we must centre to china's military excursions in the south china sea, what it is dealing with its indebtedness, it is taking weapons into space, there are things going on that need to be checked and i think it is quite right that we stand up and have another conversation with china. a technical question, bt has said it is impossible to strip huawei out of our telecoms network within ten yea rs, our telecoms network within ten years, how long do you want to give your prime minister to do this? these are the two big questions, firstly 5g is so important as we advance and britain wants to be at the forefront of that, how quickly can we exclude that? the data will be fairly soon. and there is the longevity issue, while is involved with bt anthology film, that might ta ke with bt anthology film, that might take a few more years to take all of that because of their involvement with ag -- that because of their involvement with ag —— huawei is involved with bt and vodafone. thank you, tobias ellwood. the duchess of cambridge has said there is a massive gap of support given to parents until they start school. she is chatting to do is mention ahead of the launch of the bbc‘s tiny happy people initiative for children age four and in the —— she is chatting to louise minchin. this is mere, herfavourite word to say is dada and she loves to blow raspberries. i am henrietta, this is my partner. my name is abu. to buy out my partner. my name is abu. to buy our daughter is almost one and is just learning how to stand up.|j carry. i am darren, disses dexter, he is two. he strings words together into sentences. pitching, well done! you have never said that before. thank you for coming down, how are you doing? is that your data? it is very nice. louis would like that. —— is that your dr nilufar ahmed —— is that your digger. we play peekaboo, that your digger. we play peekaboo, thatis that your digger. we play peekaboo, that is amazing, i have learned that through tiny happy people, how much food she should have, and her first word was dada, i try to get her to say it and it worked. you are passionate about early years development. people would assume because you are another, but it goes back quite far? it goes back a long way. in a way, lots of parents here and lots of families that you speak to, ithink and lots of families that you speak to, i think we all know how important it is to look after our children and to nurture and care for young kids, but i did not realise before i started this work how important it is. some of the science behind it is extraordinary, 90% of out behind it is extraordinary, 90% of our adult brain grows before the age of five, it shows what a precious time this is and what an amazing opportunity we as parents have to really nurture their minds and really nurture their minds and really put them in the best possible position for their future lives. dada, dada. at the heart of the bbc tiny happy people initiative is a simple message, talk to your children from as early as possible. more yoghurt? are you making a mess?! more than one in four children starting primary school in england don't reach the required level of literacy development, so this is important. it is a similar picture across the uk. the duchess of cambridge has been involved for some time. today we are meeting three families here at sandringham to find out how they are getting on. she is very chatty. she learnt a lot from us, copies a lot. like eating shoes! does that happen a lot? how have you been to lock them? it has been so hard for everyone. how have you been during lockdown?” been so hard for everyone. how have you been during lockdown? i work for italy sportiello that week, it is a lot different to being at home to be network —— lot different to being at home to be network — — i lot different to being at home to be network —— i work for at least 40 hours each week. it gives me time to spend with my daughter and bonds. it isa very spend with my daughter and bonds. it is a very beautiful thing. you just wa nt to is a very beautiful thing. you just want to eat! my children have bottomless pits, i feel like a consta nt bottomless pits, i feel like a constant feeding machine. he is the same age as prince louis? his best is the 2nd ofjune. dada is the end of may. he does not understand social distancing, he tries to cuddle everything, especially bathers younger than him. what resources do you use with yours? there is so much focus during pregnancy and when you have a newborn baby on the physical development of your baby and you as a mother, but what i think it's really missing, what i found was missing, was the support and how to help their social and emotional development. how do you interact with a newborn baby? what should you be doing? not perhaps tuck in the 13 months there is a huge amount of support from midwives and health visitors, but there is any massive gap before starting school and it is aspect that i think you need to support. have you learned anything new from being part of tiny people -- tiny new from being part of tiny people —— tiny happy people that you did not know before ? —— tiny happy people that you did not know before? you don't need all these toys, you can use something simple likea these toys, you can use something simple like a bit of paper rolled up, just ten to paper is the best way for them to learn, that is what ifind. and talking, talking is free, speech is free and we do not use it enough. the science has shown how important relationships are, and safe nurturing environments children, particularly under five, thatis children, particularly under five, that is what really matters. it is not necessarily about the toys, it is not the exciting places you go with them, it is how you as parents interact with them that really counts. ryan, you notice she has five cries? one cry, if i need to go and geta five cries? one cry, if i need to go and get a change there is a fake cry, it is like, why are you not showing me attention? there is one cry if you are watching tv with her on yourlap, he cry if you are watching tv with her on your lap, he will think she is crying, you look at her and she sta rts crying, you look at her and she starts smiling. then there is this cry, which is another attention cry. then she has herfeeding cry, which is much more high—pitched than this, then you have the night terror cry. ryan beginning saying how his baby has five different cries, he has learnt a huge amount from tiny happy people and it is information like that i wish i had had as a first—time mum, for so many parents it is goldust, for families to get those tips and tools to use particularly in the first five years. the uk must prepare now for a potential new wave of coronavirus infections this winter that could be more serious than the first. the warning comes in a report by the academy of medical sciences which says a second peak over the winter months could lead to many more deaths unless action is taken now. professor dame anne johnson is the vice president of the academy of medical sciences — which is behind the report — and shejoins me now. good morning. a reasonable worst—case scenario good morning. a reasonable worst—case scenario with no mitigations could see about 120,000 new coronavirus deaths in a second way is this winter. how do you respond to those figures? we are very clear in the report that those figures are not a prediction, we are not saying that'll happen, we are saying if we a sufficient amount of new infection or an increase in the amount of transmission, that is the worst case scenario amount of transmission, that is the worst case scenario that could happen and we think it is unlikely but it really emphasises to us in going through the maths of what could happen, how hard we must prepare to prevent that, that is the focus of the report. we have a window of opportunity over the summer now window of opportunity over the summer now to do a number of things across the whole population undercut the nhs and social care to really get the whole set of more resilient so we can get the whole set of more resilient so we can look after people over the winter, whether they have silence 0r not, and make sure we are prepared for what could be a challenging winter every winter weaker pressures on the nhs. —— whether we have covid or not. there will be the backlog of patients who have not been seen with urgent conditions that need looking after because we have had to be dealing with the covid pandemic in the nhs. what do we have to do right now, and what could be affected if we don't? we really need to get on top of the backlog in the nhs in order to get the nhs really well organised, put into those who are covid—free, get on with urgent surgery, cancer covid—free, get on with urgent surgery, cancer diagnoses, treating people for chronic conditions to reduce the big waiting list which has built up over the summer and do that on the basis of need. i will emphasise last week that we need to make sure we get on top of outbreaks in hospitals, reduce hospital—acquired infection, make sure there is good social distancing, use of ppe, preventing transmission between staff as well as between patients and staff and all the other issues, looking after our staff to keep them healthy over the winter and make sure we have the resilience in the system. we also need to really work hard to step up the testing programmes, because so many more people, about three times as many, will have flu like all sage —like symptoms in the winter as in the summer, so we need testing capacity to sort out people with covid and flu, we need a flu vaccination campaign focused on those at risk and health and social test of two make sure we do not have high rates of sickness absence. and we are emphasising the real importance of engagement with the public. we heard from people we talk to as part of this project that they wa nted to as part of this project that they wanted clear messages from everybody about what they needed to do to protect themselves and their families. businesses need clear messages, i have been impressed with how well many are preparing to protect us in retail environments and also across business, that needs to be done. and we really also need a really good public health system, working between the nhs, public health england and local authorities so we are health england and local authorities so we are able tojump on health england and local authorities so we are able to jump on outbreaks, we are seeing outbreaks occurring and it is critical to detect those early and then put out those stocks before they turn into science. for your time. speaking of clear messages. talking about the wearing of face coverings in england and ten days' time, one he says i'm happy to wear a mask but how is it ok to go toa pub wear a mask but how is it ok to go to a pub or restaurant, why is it ok for me to teach in a classroom? another bureau says if i wait two weeks to enforce this? jan in hampshire says i have been online since 7am, to find affordable facemasks. no luck, all out of stock but as a pensioner on a fixed income i have no spare money to buy expensive masks so my decision is eight or buy a mask. the cheapest disposable ones are out of my price range, a pack of ten for 15 quid, that would feed me three days. just to say, it doesn't have to be a mask, it can be a face covering, as scarf, and neckerchief, anything like that. you don't have to buy an official mask. alan says i am 77. i wear a mask to protect other people so wear a mask to protect other people soi wear a mask to protect other people so i expect them to wear one to protect me. another andrew says i am all for safety but i disagree with some face coverings, they cover up too much of the prize. they are a bit gangster looking. i am a shopkeeper, ifind i cannot tell what the age of the person is, often behind the mask. the big bulky ones look scary. thanks others. your reaction to the news from the 2ath ofjuly in england you will have to wear a mask ofjuly in england you will have to weara mask in ofjuly in england you will have to wear a mask in a shop

charging towards a place in the top four and champions league qualification. they were leading 2—1 against southampton last night, the game injury time. southampton came up game injury time. southampton came up with an equaliser in the 96th minute. absolute sickener for manchester united. you can tell by the face of the boss. the team would have moved into third place if they'd hung on just have moved into third place if they'd hung onjust a few more seconds. i don't think any of our players have been thinking about, "oh, what have chelsea done this weekend?" not at all. so, it's just the way the games go, and we all play against the same teams, and we all have 38 games to go through. and it will even itself out during a long season. you will earn... you will deserve the position you get in the end. moving across to manchester city. dominating the papers this morning. after the court of arbitration for sport overturned a two year champions league ban. they will spend a load of money on new players, the guardian saying it will be 150 million, city splash the cash is the headline. and the times saying the club will ask pep guardiola to stay on beyond the summer

currently in the role but he steps down next summer currently in the role but he steps down next summer so currently in the role but he steps down next summer so his replacement will be busy with euro 2021 and could also lead the team gb side in the tokyo olympics. baroness campbell, the fa head of women's foot ball says campbell, the fa head of women's football says the response has been unbelievable. the washington redskins american football team are dropping their name and logo which have both been criticised over several years for being racist. redskins name was given to the team in 1933 but they said they would retire it after a review demanded by their sponsors who threaten to withdraw support if the name wasn't changed. it's not that the owner of the washington redskins, after 21 years of owning the team, has had a moral awakening. it's not like his world has changed. it's just business pressures are encroaching. his ability to do business is being so constrained and that was really brought to a head by its most prominent sponsor, fedex. competitive women's tennis returns in britain today for the first time since the start of lockdown. british numberone since the

director of small business britain, which supports millions of small businesses across the uk, has said she is ‘incredibly concerned' about the impact that long—term health problems associated with coronavirus — could have on the uk's workforce. it follows research from king's college london, which found that one in twenty covid—19 patients suffer long term symptoms for at least one month. the government say they have supported workforces throughout the pandemic with one of the most comprehensive support packages in the world. callum tulley has more. slowly but surely, the uk is returning to work. for many, that's a relief, but for others, it's a cause for concern. a growing number of people are complaining of long—term symptoms, weeks, even months after catching coronavirus. i'm in my 16th week now. i am a schoolteacher, primary school teacher, and the day we actually all went into lockdown, the 23rd of march, i started then with very, very mild symptoms. just a sore throat, cough, lost my voice. lasted two or three days, thought that was it, and then, it's just been a roller—coaster of symptoms after that that have just got worse and worse, really. sue, a teacherfrom north yorkshire, is experiencing what she calls long covid. i've got a persistent cough, which is either a dry cough or a mucusy cough, which is really awful, painful in the chest, and the other thing is really, really bad heart pain, chest pain. the thought of going back to work just isn't sort of viable at the moment at all. dr gwynn matthias works at queen alexandra hospital in portsmouth. but 1a weeks after catching coronavirus, she too is unable to work. i don't think you should work when you are unwell, and that is a huge pressure when you are a medic, you know? all health care workers tend to feel because you know that you are putting the pressure on your colleagues, but actually i'm not well enough to work at the moment. i'm sat here talking to you, i don't feel well enough to go in. even to sit at home, i feel shaky talking. it is debilitating. you think i feel better and then, wow, itjust floors you. but how common are these long—term symptoms? professor tim spector spearheaded the uk's covid symptom tracker app, which is used by over 3.5 million people. about one in ten people on our app who reported symptoms are still having at 30 days. so if we roughly estimate that, about, you know, between two and a million people have had the virus in this country, we are talking over a quarter of a million people with long—term symptoms and we are seeing people that have had three months of severe fatigue, three months of coughing, even occasionally, three months of people having fever most days. and so we are seeing a whole range of symptoms and signs in this rather forgotten group of people. small businesses are worried about the effect long—term health problems could have on the uk's workforce. hearing that people are still having symptoms after 30 days is obviously incredibly concerning and i think what's been clear for a while now is it's not just a short—term issue, it's not going to end as lockdown starts to ease. i think there are a lot of things that we are going to have to be dealing with, as an economy and is a small business community, probably for years and i think that's something we need to focus on supporting, businesses to adapt to and to engage with. evidence suggests most people who catch coronavirus overcome it within two weeks. but as we know, many others aren't so lucky. those who continue to suffer months after catching the disease, will be hoping that their struggle isn't forgotten. callum tulley, bbc news. joining me now isjo platt, former labour mp for leigh, who has been suffering with coronavirus symptoms since the 25th of march. i wonder if you can describe for the audience what that feels like? hello, victoria. it's been an absolute roller—coaster, mine started 16 weeks ago. my symptoms came the day after lockdown was announced and i started with just a general malaise. headache, nausea, i had an upset stomach. immediately i knew the fatigue kicked in, i needed to lie down, i couldn't really explain what my body was going through but obviously, you know, with the pandemic, it was obviously related to that. and then i got better. after a few days. i thought, my goodness, this is mild, great, whatever it was. it has gone. and then within a few days, i was literally bedridden for weeks. shortness of breath. that has been the worst symptom and i've still got that. lung pain in my back, skin rashes. neurological issues, again, i'm still suffering and dealing with. it's bizarre, some of these symptoms, really bizarre. i get hallucinations. instead of losing my taste and smell, i have sensitive hearing and a heightened sense of smell. do you know how to treat this? and do you know when these symptoms might end? this is the thing. we really had been left in the dark. gps are not equipped to deal with our symptoms, i've had a chest x—ray. i think that's come back clear. but there is nothing to explain why i'm getting this shortness of breath. and high heart rate. you probably know the government has announced this a ap study into the long—term impact of coronavirus on our health, that's got to be a good thing? —— this £8.a million. there is people being forced into work now. these are the problems. we need this recognition, the research and recognition immediately, you know, clinical studies, that money is going to go on. again, that's going to take time. our symptoms are not going to wait for that. we desperately need these answers now. thank you very much, thank you for talking to us. stay as well as you can. thank you, we appreciate it. so the announcement that face coverings will be compulsory a week on friday when you go into shops in england. with me is dr nilufar ahmed, a lecturer in social sciences at bristol university and psychotherapist. and steve kentjoins us also. good morning to you. how do you think this is going to work for your police members? it's going to be difficult, the first concern is the sheer weight of shops up and down the country calling the police because people are getting into arguments about people wearing face masks. is that likely? most people are sensible. we do see sometimes when people don't apply to the rules, police get called. it hasn't really happened in scotland, has it? it might not have happened in scotla nd it might not have happened in scotland but i can only talk for south yorkshire, we get a lot of calls from people, talking about neighbours not complying with lockdown, this, that and the other, ican lockdown, this, that and the other, i can see it being different in shops when this comes out because it's a black—and—white moment. what i'm concerned about, as we've seen in the past with some negative media outlets, basically vilifying the police if we go in and give tickets out which is the last thing police wa nt to out which is the last thing police want to do, if i'm honest. they want to have a common—sense conversation with people and tell people to comply with rules. they can do that. we saw a lot with lockdown. there weren't that many fines pushed out, we re weren't that many fines pushed out, were there? officers had mostly, not always, mostly, reasonable conversations with people? absolutely, 99% of the time and that's what we have been emphasising but i got to be honest, this is not aimed at you directly, we saw some media reporting, asking for examples of when police find people, there is a famous saying in the police, darnedif a famous saying in the police, darned if we do and darned if we don't and what we don't want this to turn into is another sort of thing for the police to be under unnecessary scrutiny on. i got to be honest, we will enforce the rules if we have to, people don't apply common sense but we got other stuff to be doing. officers are back to normal now, pulled from pillar to post and we could do without this at the moment, getting called to shops, left, right and centre when people fall out about this. how do you think people are going to take this when it comes in, week on friday, in england? i think given what we've seen so england? i think given what we've seen so far, there is likely to be quite a lot of resistance to massacring. like any new initiative that sprawled out, people are always resistant at the start. if you think back to when seat belts were introduced, people rejected those entirely. but they are for our own safety and i think that's the message we need to communicate. i've been listening to some harrowing tales you shared from people living with the aftermath of coronavirus. we are doing it notjust for ourselves but also to protect the front line staff and vulnerable people who can then safely venture into the community themselves. we are doing it as an altruistic act as much as it is a personal active safety. we've been told week after week at the benefits of masks, the government, representatives of the government, representatives of the government and scientists that flanked whoever did the daily downing street briefing said time and again the evidence for wearing them is weak but now the evidence is evolving. now it might, they say, help us if we want to get back to near normality. that might give us confidence? i think so. near normality. that might give us confidence? ithink so. ithink you're absolutely right. the message we have received a face coverings, notjust in the context of we have received a face coverings, not just in the context of covid 19, think about the last two decades, we've been essentially told face coverings are repressive, patriarchal, they strip us of our freedom, we can't communicate if we have them so that's a message that is deeply lodged in the general psyche and to suddenly shift from bad to saying, everyone should wear a face mask now, that's not going to be an easy transition. we need to have much stronger message if of the reasons why we need to wear them and i think the stories of people suffering are really important in changing that narrative and getting people to accept the responsibility, their social responsibility, to wear a mask. really good point. there is a mask. really good point. there is a possibility for those who haven't directly lost someone or haven't been directly affected by coronavirus, and the more we move through this crisis, people forget how challenging it is if you have this illness. absolutely. and what we know from the science is that you can be completely asymptomatic and spread it widely. and that's why we are doing it, we are doing it to protect not just ourselves are doing it, we are doing it to protect notjust ourselves but are doing it, we are doing it to protect not just ourselves but to protect not just ourselves but to protect others. and the fear of wearing a mask is probably greater than the reality of wearing a mask in public. we've had so much with the government and their messages around should be, shouldn't we, the lack of ppe for front line staff. actually, people are worrying about the practicalities of masks, where do we get them, what kind, we need greater information on that. there are some great resources online to make your own masks, lots of organisations that will give you a mask as she entered the space and don't be too worried about it, as we open up, and move out of lockdown, people will get scared about what is right and what is not and what if i don't have a mask. i think the message is, any face covering, until you feel confident to wear a mask and try something that works for you. steve kent, what advice are you giving your members, front line police officers, who will undoubtedly come at some point, be called upon to try and enforce this legislation when it comes in a week on friday? i think, to be fair, both myself and the force will say to our officers, as we did during lockdown completely, apply common sense and try and engage with people and make them understand the reasons why enforcement from a police perspective is an absolute last resort and i think i speak for 99.9% of cops when i say that, we would rather have these conversations. educate people to the need to apply the rules. thank you both very much for talking to us. we appreciated. thank you for your messages. mark says, good morning. i've been ridiculed for wearing a mask since the virus was first reported in health. i've actually had two people laughing at me in public and joking that i thought the virus might be airborne. who knows who the next victim will be? it could be you, it could be made. chris says i fully understand shops and supermarkets, being compulsory in england but what about petrol stations, are they classified as shops? i mean, you just wear one in the petrol station, wouldn't you, i think? katie says i don't get the ten day delay. what about pubs, you are in an enclosed space for longer in a pub or restau ra nt, space for longer in a pub or restaurant, it would have made sense if they had done it at the beginning of lockdown. too little, too late, again. this viewer says i confronted again. this viewer says i confronted a person serving me in a famous coffee chain in the west midlands on friday as the two members of staff are talking to each other and i felt saliva droplets could potentially land in my copy. he replied quite coldly they were not under any obligation to work masks. they used bare hands to place lids on cops, the same cops that will be placed on our lips. that's gross, that goes through me. time for a look at the weather, here is matt taylor. hello, often rather cloudy over the next few days, some sunshine at times for some of you. best of the sunshine today in eastern areas, clown demand is increasing in the west, is glad set to bring wetter weather to northern ireland through the afternoon. rain becoming heavy and persistent, may be pushing into argyll and butte, dumfries and galloway. the odd heavy shower in southern counties of england. much of scotland, england, whilst staying dry, loud thin enough to allow the sun north west. northern ireland 13-15d sun north west. northern ireland 13—15d well down on where we should be for the stage injuly but even with these temperatures, then in cloud, sunshine comes out and feeling better. this evening and overnight cloud and rain dominant across the country, we see further rain developing across much of northern and western uk at times. temperature staying in double figures, once again, some in the mid—teens tomorrow morning. for wednesday, cloudy day compared to today, figure cloud, greater chance of rain or drizzlejust today, figure cloud, greater chance of rain or drizzle just about anywhere. long, dry spells, if you see sunshine, the best chance the channel islands, shetland, maybe west wales, devon and cornwall, temperatures similar to today come up temperatures similar to today come up northern ireland. milder still for all of us as we go into thursday. morning sunshine into england and wales, cloud bubbling up, afternoon hazy sunshine north—east scotland, south—westerly wind and rain in northern scotland, aberdeenshire could reach 23 or 2a degrees, temperatures more widely into the 20s, normal for the stage injuly. into into the 20s, normal for the stage in july. into friday, into the 20s, normal for the stage injuly. into friday, this weather front pushing south and east across scotla nd front pushing south and east across scotland and northern ireland. back to cloudy weather, some rain at times, bit more of a breeze and drop in temperature. england and wales, staying dry, spells of hazy sunshine breaking through, feeling human again, temperatures in the south—east reaching 25 degrees, 15 with sunshine in stornoway. temperatures back down to the high teens, low 20s for the weekend, the start of next week, rain splashing around on saturday. many places try. sunshine as well. this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines. face coverings will be compulsory in shops from the end of next week. people who refuse could be fined £100. i think to a point we should be forced because we all want to get back to normal. ijust feel like i'm doing the right thing and i'm protecting myself. i would say no. as long as you're sanitising and you're cautious of what you're doing. tens of thousands of businesses are ordered to close in california, as coronavirus restrictions are reimposed in america's most populous state. new figures reveal the uk economy shrank by a fifth under lockdown, but started to grow a little in may. taking a harder line against china — the british government's expected to announce a ban on huawei in the uk's 5g networks.
North-yorkshireUnited-kingdomBristolCity-ofTokyoJapanUnited-statesHong-kongMadridSpainChinaYemen to announce a ban on huawei in the uk's sg networks. and kate, the duchess of cambridge, on being a mum and why she's backing a new bbc campaign to support families with young children. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world — and stay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. we start with coronavirus, and wearing face coverings in shops and supermarkets in england is to become compulsory from the end of next week. the new rule which comes into force from the 24th july will fine those who do not comply. children under the age of 11, and those with certain disabilities will be exempt — as is the case on public transport. the move brings england in line with scotland and other major european nations like spain, italy and germany. elsewhere in the world, sweeping restrictions have been reintroduced in the us state of california as it battles to contain a resurgency of coronavirus. all indoor activities at restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues have shut with immediate effect. there has been a 20% rise in californians testing positive for covid—19 in the past two weeks. but first, our political correspondent jess parker reports on england's tougher stance on face coverings. borisjohnson‘s been seen out and about in a mask in recent days, signalling a change to come for england. now, those changes have been confirmed. face coverings will be mandatory in shops and supermarkets from july 24th. fail to wear one, you could face a fine of up to £100. enforcement will be carried out by the police. there will be exemptions, as there is on public transport, for under—11s and people with certain disabilities. wearing a face mask in shops is already mandatory in scotland, and labour's accused the uk government of being muddled after some mixed messaging from ministers, and slow to act. we are behind the curve again. there was a delay for lockdown, delay on testing, delay to protect our care homes. there's confusion over masks. when are we going to get ahead of this virus and this pandemic like so many other countries have done so already? downing street says the prime minister has been clear on the issue, with growing evidence masks can help protect people in enclosed spaces. it is about, you know, measuring the overall risk and taking proportionate mitigations to deal with the risk that's there. and as you open up more parts of the economy, including pubs and restaurants, and as you open retail environments, obviously, there is therefore a slightly increased risk. businesses may hope that it will also grow confidence so more shoppers return to the high street. jessica parker, bbc news. clegg russell is the health and safety officer ——. —— earlier i spoke to doug russell, health and safety officer at the union of shop, distributive and allied workers which has about half a million members across the uk about their reaction to this announcement. the confusion has not helped at all, members will have to deal with this as they have dealt with everything else during the crisis over the last couple of months. has been issued for members in scotland, where is compulsory? —— has that been issues? the vast majority of the public are complying, we are not aware that a serious incident taken place yet but there is time to find out how they camei there is time to find out how they came i is awkward about it. what do you advise members to do it somebody walks in when they are meant to be wearing a mask and they are not? they are very clear in scotland and i hope it will be the same principle in england, it is not thejob of shop workers to police this, they have no parity act in that circumstance and they are not in the position to tell whether the person not wearing a mask has a valid reason or is objecting to the principal. they should alert the manager and the manager can tell the police if the person persists. shop staff do not have to police edge so it sounds like there will not be a conversation? it will depend upon the circumstances. they should not be expected to challenge people. there are people with legitimate reasons, mental health problems, for example, which make a conversation very difficult to say why are you not wearing a mask? can you imagine any scenario where a member of staff might contact the police because of an issue with a customer not wearing an issue with a customer not wearing a mask? if they are asked politely, swears at them or is it heated towards them, if they persistently come in not wearing a mask and stand too close to people and are being a threat to others, that is a legitimate reason not to wear a mask. —— a legitimate reason to call the police. scarlett says i cannot have my face covered without having a panic attack. it takes me back to being raped. iwill a panic attack. it takes me back to being raped. i will be like a criminal every time i shop having to explain to people why i do not wear this. another dealer says i do not have a problem, every little helps, but i worry. retail staff if they get involved with policing of this. if you are a retail employee, let me know today, e—mail me, it simply is not wearing a mask, will you say anything or leave them be? it is going on in scotland already so let me know what you are dealing in that scenario. judith says i totally agree with wearing a to do what we can to stop the virus spreading, it is not just can to stop the virus spreading, it is notjust wearing a face covering, it is wearing it properly, i had seen lots of people walking around with just a mouse cupboard, which makes it less effective. another dealer says police have not attended shoplifting cases in years because they are understaffed, how will they attend people not wearing masks? i would say a ten or 20% on london transport are not wearing masks. get in touch with me on twitter or e—mail me with your opinions. scientists advising the government say a second wave of coronavirus infections this winter could be more serious than the first, with 120,000 hospital deaths a "reasonable worst—case scenario". that would be with no mitigations. a report commissioned by the chief scientific advisor says action must be taken now, while the infection rate is low, to minimise the risk of a second peak over the winter months. its recommendations include early flu vaccinations for health and social care workers, a public information campaign and a rapid monitoring system to stop local outbreaks. professor dame anne johnson professor dame annejohnson is an author of the report and told us more about the reported figures —— projected figures. we are very clear they are not a prediction, we are not saying it will happen, we are saying if we get a sufficient amount of new infection or an increase in the amount of transmission, that is the amount of transmission, that is the worst—case scenario that could happen and we think that is unlikely but it really emphasises to us in going through the maths of what could happen, how hard we must prepare to prevent that, that is really the focus of the report. we have a window of opportunity now over the sunetra to choose a number of things across the whole population in the nhs and social ca re population in the nhs and social care to population in the nhs and social ca re to really population in the nhs and social care to really get the whole setup more resilient, so we can look after people over the winter, whether they have covid or not, and make sure we are prepared for what could be a challenging winter every winter we get pressures on the nhs, this year we have new pressures including covid and the backlog of patients who have not been seen with urgent conditions which need looking after because we have had to be dealing with the covid pandemic in the nhs. so what do we have to do right now, and if we don't, what could dfxp? right now we really need to get on top of the backlog in the nhs in order to get the nhs really well organised, so we can separate cats into those who are covid free, get on with urgent surgery, cancer diagnoses, treating other chronic conditions, so we reduced the big waiting list which has built up and do that on the basis of need. we emphasise last week that we need to get on top of outbreaks in hospitals, reduce hospital enquired —— mecca hospital—acquired infection, make sure there is good social distancing, ppe, reducing transmission between staff as well as between patients and staff, looking after staff to keep them healthy over the winter and make sure we have the resilience in the system. we need to really work hard to step up the testing programmes, so many more people, about three times as many, will have flu like or covid like symptoms in the winter as in the summer. we need to have testing capacity to sort out people with covid and flu, we need a wee needed flu vaccination campaign focused on those at risk and on health and social test after make sure we do not have high rates of sickness absence. the other thing is engagement with the public, we heard from people we talked to as part of this project as they wanted clear m essa 9 es this project as they wanted clear messages from everybody about what they needed to do to protect themselves and their families. businesses need clear messages, i have been impressed with how well many are preparing to protect us in retail environments and also across business. all that needs to be done. and we need a really good public health system, surveillance, working between the nhs, public health england and local authorities so we canjump on england and local authorities so we can jump on outbreaks, england and local authorities so we canjump on outbreaks, we are now o'dell canjump on outbreaks, we are now 0'dell breaks a caring and it is critical to detect those early and put out those sparks before they turn into fires. —— we are now seeing those as breaks and it is critical to detect. seeing those as breaks and it is criticalto detect. india seeing those as breaks and it is critical to detect. india is reimposing lockdowns in several cities. a seven—day shutout in bangalore begins today, only essential shops are allowed to open. companies in india's it help can operate but with only half the staff in the office. india has almost 907,000 covid-i9 in the office. india has almost 907,000 covid—i9 cases, the third highest in the world, but the death rate is relatively low. california has reversed the easing of many coronavirus restrictions as the number of infections there continues to rise sharply. bars, restaurants and cinemas are among the businesses which have been ordered to close their doors immediately. peter bowes reports from los angeles. testing times. a rolling back of california's reopening plan because the virus is still spreading fast. the new measures mean sweeping closures of businesses that involve people getting together indoors. restaurants, bars, cinemas, and museums are all being forced to close. more than 7,000 people have died from covid—i9 in the state and the rate of new cases has risen to 8,000 a day. in california's 30 worst—affected counties, the renewed lockdown measures will be even tighter, with gyms, hair salons and churches all told to close their doors. this virus is not going away any time soon. i hope all of us recognise that if we were still connected to some notion that somehow when it gets warm, it's going to go away or somehow it's going to take summer months or weekends off, this virus has done neither. when the pandemic started, america's golden state fared much better than many other parts of the country, closing down early with far fewer people infected by the virus. but no longer. for california, there's a long, hot summer ahead, with no relief in sight. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. the uk economy shrank byjust over i9% in the two months to may, but grew a little na. the office of national statistics says despite signs of recovery in manufacturing and house—building, most of the economy is in the children's. 0ur business presented ben thompson joins us now. tell us about the figures. —— most of the economy is in the doldrums. the devil is in the detail with these things, there are a number of ways of looking at the numbers and the picture they paint ofan numbers and the picture they paint of an economy slowly and steadily recovering, but may be too slowly for many. looking at the one month a, that gives a sense of what happens in may, the economy growing by just 1.8% happens in may, the economy growing byjusti.8% in happens in may, the economy growing byjust 1.8% in may. many analysts we re byjust 1.8% in may. many analysts were looking for a figure of about 596 were looking for a figure of about 5% because remember, in may, some businesses were able to try to get back to work, particularly in things like construction and manufacturing. those workers were able to go back to factory some building sites and it was hoped it would boost the economy, but it was not enough to help the economy grow by as much as forecast. that is because the service sector still accounts for about three quarters of our entire economy, that is struggling to get off the ground because services are native of all sorts of things, banks, hairdressers, retail, still unable to open in some respects and others working at a lower capacity, so that was not enough to kick—start the economy. to talk about the wider implications, it is worth remembering that the economy is a quarter smaller than in february before this hit, if we look at the three month a which gives a step back, the economy is still falling by 19%, back, the economy is still falling by i9%, much morejust a many had feared and it is turning attention to the pace of the recovery, how quickly can be economy bounce back, i think these figures tell us it will take a lot longer, particularly when government support is abundant, it is fairto when government support is abundant, it is fair to see we will let say we will see unemployment rise and their areas of the economy still struggling to balance back, because even once businesses are able to reopen comedy big issue is as as consumers, will we want to go and use these businesses, that is still a huge question hanging over the economy. and there are some more significant economic figures today? we have heard from the office for budget responsibility which is basically the government spending watchdog which keeps an ion public finances, but they have generally sign the last half hour is set out a forecast for what they think will happen and how long it may take economy to bounce back —— what they have done in the last half—hour. they have been talking about different shapes the recovery could take, it seems all of the forecasts are different and the 0br has come up are different and the 0br has come up with three different scenarios for how they expect this to play out. the middle—of—the—road scenario, the pretty average case, they suggest that gdp over the entire year wilful by more than i2%, so the economy 12% smaller by the end of the other start —— will by more than i2%. they are talking about scarring, businesses will fail, people will not be at work and on unemployment they suggest the rate could peak at almost 12% by dnt of the year. given that stark reality it means things like government spending will have to increase. we know the cost of the government measures to try to mitigate the worst of the financial crisis, but they say spending will have to write pretty significantly. it was not the government would have to spend around 130 billion p to pf°p up to spend around 130 billion p to prop up our earnings, they say that it be close to 190 billion. inevitably there is an expectation that taxes will have to rise, spending will have to cut to pay for that so the hangover will be felt for a long time. they do not think the economy will get back to where it is now by 2023, so significant impact to overall economic growth. thank you, ben thompson. face coverings will be compulsory in shops in england by the end of next week. people who refuse could be fined 100. coronavirus restrictions are reimposing california in america's most populous state. tens of thousands of businesses are told to close. the uk punishment by a fifth under lockdown but started to grow again in may. the government is likely to announce today the chinese tech company huawei will be stripped from the uk's 5g infrastructure. earlier this year boris johnson decided to grant huawei a limited role in britain's 5g networks, but many within the prime minister's own party raised concerns over the potential implications, so let's talk to our assistant political editor norman smith. boris johnson is facing a mounting backbench rebellion and although he has a majority of 80, more than a0 tory mps are now poised to vote against this, he probably could not get the huawei decision through parliament. more than that, i think across—the—board, across westminster, there has been a sea change in attitudes towards china and they feel that huawei is to the chinese state, and whereas previously british governments have looked at china as a huge opportunity, an area we want to ensure good relations because of the potential market, now in the wake of the lack of clarity and honesty over covid and in the wake of the persecution of uighur muslims, and the new security arrangements in hong kong, there is a view that china is turning out to ba very aggressive and anti sympathetic nation towards western values. we need to reappraise our approach to china. there has been a complete 180 degrees about—face and the only question is the scale and speed of the u—turn that does not is about to perform. thank you very much, norman. we will not speak to a tech and communication experts. let talk about this from a punter‘s point of view, anybody with a huawei phone all kit, what do you think about the fa ct all kit, what do you think about the fact that table be stripped from 5g networks in this country? it is incredibly confusing adaptive about it because two ago, gchq said they had no issues. it feels to me, as a tech expert but on the outside looking in, it is little more than mccarthyism, the fear of china and the fear of china interfering. at any interference had been shown by any interference had been shown by any government world what exactly they claim huawei is giving here, people might explain more, particular pathology equipment, which is still being installed across the uk, the overwhelming majority of that equipment in those networks is huawei —based. so we we re networks is huawei —based. so we were fine to install huawei equipment in 2012, even up to this year, both 5g and ag, so there is now this concern that perhaps huawei and their involvement with the chinese government, they unaffected acted equipment into the main infrastructure. what is that minty people like me who have just signed up people like me who have just signed up with a mobile film company and got a ag huawei richer this week? while wafer due to the trade battle in the us that google are no longer letting them use google apps on android phones, which are the main reason to get in android phone, system of the best android phones on the market were essentially hobbled by the fact they are unable to use technology. it simply came out and clearly said this is the intelligence or the reasons we have for this, people like me would understand, but at this point there is no evidence, just a grand theory that someday if there is a wall some other issue going on, the chinese might pull the plug on this equipment. the chinese equipment and technology has been running most of the infrastructure in this country for many years. bt have been surprised with huawei kit since 2003. -- surprised with huawei kit since 2003. —— have been supplied with. what about the issues raised an hour ago are now business by the chair of the commons select defence committee, he said it is notjust about intelligence, security and potential spying fears, it is about the way china treats certain minorities, the way they have gone about imposing that new security law in hong kong, he said there are other reasons too, quote, standard to china. we supply weapons are secondary to many regimes and organisations around the world. secondary to many regimes and organisations around the worldlj raise that with him. i do not want to turn this into a political conversation, but certainly calling huawei a bad actor or an u ntrustworthy com pa ny huawei a bad actor or an untrustworthy company feels without any balance or justification untrustworthy company feels without any balance orjustification until they tell us. a growing number of mps they do not want to work with china does not necessarily make me think the company is any worse at 12. to be clear, huawei has caught once trying to new technology from a us —based company, t—mobile, but there has been no evidence ever published and found that china tracks that huawei is handling information to the chinese government. this is based on the fa ct government. this is based on the fact that in 1987 when the company was formed, the founder of war way isa was formed, the founder of war way is a former people's liberation army member, they claim he has close links to the communist party and the military, between had seen no evidence of that. i am not yet a supporterfor huawei, evidence of that. i am not yet a supporter for huawei, it would evidence of that. i am not yet a supporterfor huawei, it would be fantastic if the us will europe could make more of this 5g equipment, but from where i see it the us are approaching huawei because they are so far behind, there are no us company to make 5g infrastructure equipment right now. so they are trying to hobble the competition? looking at this, try perspective, they have blocked huawei from using us silicone in the project, so the argument is able go to slightlyjudging other project, so the argument is able go to slightly judging other countries, finding untested solutions to make that project, that is a security issue for the us but there is a us trade embargo on them using us technology in their projects. so it feels like it has been manufactured to suggest they are a bad actor who do not need to be used. it was described as a digital 9/11 the other day, what you are doing in china and with hong kong. there is a real fear factor china and with hong kong. there is a realfearfactor being china and with hong kong. there is a real fear factor being generated china and with hong kong. there is a realfearfactor being generated by politicians and leaders around the world that there is a sinister and severe threats from china and other nations with information warfare. ten minutes of the road from where i and now is gchq, they are a world leader in information warfare and cyber warfare. you are the good people, who are the bad guys? to me, as somebody who has really enjoyed using huawei's tech, we are using it now to communicate, somewhere between me and both fisher and un london, huawei kit is being used to broadcasters over the internet. this will change how we all communicate —— somewhere between me and gloucestershire and un london. very interesting, thank you very much. we are probably using huawei kit right now, as he says, embedded across our ag network, but some would argue thatis ag network, but some would argue that is not a reason to not strip it from our infrastructure. £170 million will be invested into flood defence projects across the uk to better protect homes, businesses and jobs following the winter's extreme weather. the government has also revealed how a previously announced funding package of five point 2 billion pounds will be spent. -- £5.2 —— £5.2 billion. the plans include creating 2,000 new flood defence projects and nature based schemes that capture flood water on farmers' fields. 1a of britain's largest charities have launched a joint appeal to raise funds to fight coronavirus in some of the world's most vulnerable countries. the disasters emergency committee will spend the money on sending food, water, soap, and medical care to

missing glee actress naya rivera. the 33—year—old went missing last wednesday during a boating trip with her four—year—old son. she was presumed to have drowned. he was found alone and asleep in the boat. regan morris has more from los angeles we have a missing person... naya rivera and her son came to lake piru to rent a pontoon boat and escape the southern californian heat. mother and son went swimming, but naya rivera never got back on the boat. authorities searched for six days until her body was recovered. police believe rivera may have gotten caught in the heavy brush and trees of the lakebed. her four—year—old sonjosey was found alone, asleep, wrapped in a towel. the boy told officials his mother helped lift him onto the boat, but then she disappeared under the water. she was not wearing a life jacket. the idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting — it was unanchored — and that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat, but not enough to save herself. 0fficials used sonar equipment and cadaver dogs to search for rivera. her friends and family gathered at the lake, many searching themselves. naya rivera was an actor and singer, best known for playing lesbian cheerleader santana lopez on the hit musical show glee. our hearts also go out to naya's many friends and fans who have been hoping for the best for the past few days. the sheriff said rivera's death was believed to be a tragic accident, and they did not suspect foul play or suicide. 20 covid—19 patient suffers from long—term health issues. it follows research from king's college london, which found that one in twenty covid—19 patients suffer long term symptoms for at least one month. the government say they have supported workforces throughout the pandemic with one of the most comprehensive support packages in the world. callum tulley has more. slowly but surely, the uk is returning to work. for many, that's a relief, but for others, it's a cause for concern. a growing number of people are complaining of long—term symptoms, weeks, even months after catching coronavirus. i'm in my 16th week now. i am a schoolteacher, primary school teacher, and the day we actually all went into lockdown, the 23rd of march, i started then with very, very mild symptoms. just a sore throat, cough, lost my voice. lasted two or three days, thought that was it, and thought, "wow, that's it." and then, it's just been a roller—coaster of symptoms after that that have just got worse and worse, really. sue, a teacherfrom north yorkshire, is experiencing what she calls long covid. i've got a persistent cough, which is either a dry cough or a mucusy cough, which is really awful, painful in the chest, and the other thing is really, really bad heart pain, chest pain. the thought of going back to work just isn't sort of viable at the moment at all. dr gwynn matthias works at queen alexandra hospital in portsmouth. but 1a weeks after catching coronavirus, she too is unable to work. i don't think you should work when you are unwell, and that is a huge pressure when you are a medic, you know? all health care workers tend to feel because you know that you are putting the pressure on your colleagues, but actually i'm not well enough to work at the moment. i'm sat here talking to you, i don't feel well enough to go in. even to sit at home, i feel shaky talking. it's debilitating. you think i feel better and then, wow, itjust floors you. but how common are these long—term symptoms? professor tim spector spearheaded the uk's covid symptom tracker app, which is used by over 3.5 million people. about one in ten people on our app who reported symptoms are still having at 30 days. so if we roughly estimate that, about, you know, between two and a million people have had the virus in this country, we are talking over a quarter of a million people with long—term symptoms and we are seeing people that have had three months of severe fatigue, three months of coughing, even occasionally, three months of people having fever most days. and so we are seeing a whole range of symptoms and signs in this rather forgotten group of people. small businesses are worried about the effect long—term health problems could have on the uk's workforce. hearing that people are still having symptoms after 30 days is obviously incredibly concerning and i think what's been clear for a while now is it's not just a short—term issue, it's not going to end as lockdown starts to ease. i think there are a lot of things that we are going to have to be dealing with, as an economy and is a small business community, probably for years and i think that's something we need to focus on supporting, businesses to adapt to and to engage with. evidence suggests most people who catch coronavirus overcome it within two weeks. but as we know, many others aren't so lucky. those who continue to suffer months after catching the disease, will be hoping that their struggle isn't forgotten. callum tulley, bbc news. this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines. england's tougher stance on coronavirus. face coverings will be compulsory in shops from the end of next week. people who refuse could be fined £100. i think to a point we should be forced because we all want to get back to normal. ijust feel like i'm doing the right thing and

biochemist for nottingham university hospital nhs trust. she called the thieves sarcastically pride of britain. look at this. it's good to know that whilst i am going into work during this pandemic,

right, thank you. i'm 0k today. tell us what happened. i went shopping on saturday afternoon, i'd been working in the morning. i went to do shopping in the afternoon. i spontaneously met my boyfriend after that, about 6:30pm, we decided to go for a meal. i left my shopping in the car. went for the meal. everything was fine. 0n the way back to the car i noticed all my gym where it scattered on the pavement. and it hit me that my gym bag had been in the front of the car. that means someone has been in my car. so i walked round the corner, saw all the shattered glass everywhere. and then, it sunk in, how much stuff i had actually had in the car at that time. how did you react when you realise what someone had done? i was really angry at first. i felt really powerless that someone had been in my vehicle, taken all my things. i was really upset. cried all evening, started to get some perspective. ifeel 0k upset. cried all evening, started to get some perspective. ifeel ok now. meditated on it. ifeel 0k. get some perspective. ifeel ok now. meditated on it. ifeelok. how get some perspective. ifeel ok now. meditated on it. i feel 0k. how have you rationalised it? i'mjust trying to understand the circumstances. that led to the person doing what they did. i'm quite privileged that i've got a secure and stable job. like i said, these arejust i've got a secure and stable job. like i said, these are just material items. they can be replaced. someone obviously felt really desperate to do what they did. just trying to understand it from a different perspective. would it have been obvious that your car is driven, owned by someone who works for the nhs? well, my nhs id badge was left on the seat, i think they would have seen that, it had my picture on it and myjob title. seen that, it had my picture on it and my job title. yes. god! you are being so magnanimous about this. and i take your point it could have been someone who was so desperate but it might not have been. yes, i went through the whole thing, losing my faith in humanity a little bit. but then, all the messages of support that i've had from friends, family, people i don't even know. saying they are really supportive of me coming into work. my situation. it's really helped in someone this morning offered to pay for the damage to my car. i said, it wasn't about the money, it was more about making people aware, people who perpetrate these, the perpetrators, there are consequences to their crimes. 0ften there are consequences to their crimes. often they don't get punished. but emotionally, they do have an impact. and that's why you recorded the message. yes, i wanted to capture at that moment how i felt. you know, i took pictures but that just captured felt. you know, i took pictures but thatjust captured the damage to my vehicle, it didn't capture the emotional damage and how powerless i felt that someone had violated myspace, taken my possessions. you know, it's unlikely i am ever going to get those back, ijust wanted people, i wanted to share my experience. i think sometimes people think petty theft, they will never get caught and there's no consequences to that. but i wanted to show there are more long lasting consequences than they realise. absolutely. i bet you are trying to stay calm. you are pregnant, aren't you? when stay calm. you are pregnant, aren't you ? when is stay calm. you are pregnant, aren't you? when is the baby due? stay calm. you are pregnant, aren't you? when is the baby due7m stay calm. you are pregnant, aren't you? when is the baby due? it is in november. a lot of people didn't know i was pregnant. really! i didn't announce it or anything. now eve ryo ne didn't announce it or anything. now everyone knows. many congratulations to you and your boyfriend. thank you very much. i am trying to stay calm, i practice meditation quite a lot, that's very important. i work in a high stressjob, that's very important. i work in a high stress job, after what's happened, it is really helpful. we we re happened, it is really helpful. we were just showing everyone a picture of you and your other half. what is his name? his name is kyle. how did he respond when he realised what had happened to your staff? he was amazing, i was processing everything that was going on, figuring out what was in the car at the time, he was on the phone to the police, explaining what happened. he was amazing. had he surprised you, you said you met him spontaneously, did he surprise you, was that the story? we weren't planning to go for a meal or anything. he happened to be driving on his way home and i said, iam driving on his way home and i said, i am finished shopping now, shall we go for some food? we haven't been out for a meal since march. and i'd had my birthday in lockdown. we went out for a meal. it was really, really nice evening. that's probably why it was so shocking, so devastating at the time. we'd had such a good evening. it's such a contrast from what we have seen from so many people through this crisis. most people are kind, they do want to help, they do want to care and look out for their neighbours and so on and so forth. it seems such a jarring shock, doesn't it? yes, i think that's why it hurts so much, really. because i think i was probably a bit naive. thinking eve ryo ne s ha res probably a bit naive. thinking everyone shares the same moral integrity that i do, although i try to hide some of the things in my car. ididn't to hide some of the things in my car. i didn't for one moment think it was unsafe. it was in a secure car park. it's really made me think. 0bviously, all these messages from strangers and well—wishers, that's really helped me restore my faith in humans. that's good to hear. good luck. with the baby come up with everything. your boyfriend sounds like a keeper! yes, he is. thank you. cheers, take care. the washington redskins, one of the most prominent teams in american football, have confirmed they will change their name and logo. native americans have long condemned both as racist but finally it seems financial pressure from the team's sponsors has forced a change. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. it is one of the most famous names in american sport, but it is also one of the most controversial. for more than 80 years, they have been known as the washington redskins — but not anymore. under increasing pressure, the club had previously announced a review of its name, and it seems that review was only going to have one result. in a statement, the club said: they went on to say: "we are working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years." it's racist. you would never see something like that for african—americans or african people. you would never see anything like that forjewish people. and their name — you know, as a racial epithet — you would never have that in this day and age. complaints over the name are nothing new. chanting. but the recent black lives matter protest had only raised the stakes. the redskins' commercial partners had expressed their discomfort too. as for the fans — they're a little uncertain about what's to come. for me, a change is really going to dramatically affect me, because i don't know what the name is going to be, but it's not going to be the same feeling, especially since i've been born and raised in washington, dc. there's no word as to what the new name and logo will be, or when they'll be introduced. this is the end of an era, and some will say not a moment too soon. tim allman, bbc news. this month, egypt reopened many of the ancient sites that were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic including the great pyramid at giza. but without international visitors, tourism income has been devastated. and that has a significant impact in a country whose economy relies on showing off its ancient treasures. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. an historic clean—up at the pyramids. for millennia, this world wonder has wowed visitors. but coronavirus killed off egypt's tourism, and with it, the livelihoods of millions. like ashraf. unable to feed his family, he kept his favourite camel but had to sell two others. "it has been tough on everyone," he says. "i have no money. a camel's food alone costs $6 a day." the ancient attractions are now reopening, but they are empty except for the occasional local visitor. it is a blow after tourism had just recovered from years of turmoil. you should come to egypt! guide shahenda loves taking tourists around her country. since the pandemic, she has lost 1,000 holiday bookings. for now, she is only sightseeing with her husband. we had to cancel flights, hotels, and that includes everyone who works in the hotel. the company itself and people behind the desk, we all lost ourjobs. and then you have drivers, you have cars, restaurants, all of these things are down. the tourism minister is on a mission to bring back business and revive the economy, highlighting new hygiene and safety rules and showing how foreigners can now fly in to some beach resorts. we lost around $1 billion per month, and we are estimating that we will still lose a lot of money during the next coming weeks and month. restoring tourism will take time. but egypt's counting on the enduring allure of its rich pharaonic past. and for a star attraction, what could be more appropriate these days than a golden face mask? yolande knell, bbc news. psychedelic drugs like magic mushrooms and lsd could potentially be used to treat depression and post—traumatic stress disorder. but because they are class a drugs, research is difficult. today, a group of experts will begin campaigning for a change in the law, to make it easier for scientific study. graham satchell has been to meet a military veteran to hear about his experiences. i was watching the patrol move off and they came under contact. my friend andy got shot through the back. trying to get andy out of that firefight, martin was giving covering fire. i was watching him through some binoculars. unfortunately, i was watching right at the point where i saw him take a bullet through his face and he was dead instantly. get back! gunfire. guy murray wasjust 19 when he served in afghanistan. he had one of the most dangerous jobs on patrol, searching for explosive devices. guy's experiences left him traumatised. when he came home he tried to take his own life. at that point, i had to call out the samaritans and i was trying to get help with other charities but because of my alcohol use, they were like, we are not going to touch you until you sort that out and i was like, what? i need your help! as his depression got worse, guy started searching for alternatives. he read about the use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of traumatic stress. itjust changed everything. it allowed me to see my trauma and how i was carrying it around and how i didn't have to carry it around. there are other options available than sitting and talking to a therapist for hours. which soldiers aren't very good at doing because we go back to that thing. "hey, man, you weren't there, man, you don't know, man." and it'sjust, you know, we come up against that straightaway with a therapist who has not been to war. we are, like, what do you know? here's a slide showing how the psilocybin switches off the parts of the brain which drive problems like depression. scientists researching psychedelic drugs say they do have potential as therapies. psilocybin turns off the parts of the brain that drives repetitive thinking. and we believe that's how it can help people break out of the shackles of either depression, where people think repetitively about things they've done wrong, or ptsd, where people continually remember things they don't want to remember, the very painful, traumatic experiences. that possession of psychedelic drugs like magic mushrooms is illegal and can lead to a seven—year prison sentence. they can have negative side effects like nausea, paranoia, anxiety and experts say they should never be taken alone. but in the same way some cannabis products have been legalised for medicinal purposes, campaigners now want the government to change the law to make it easier to research the possible therapeutic use of psychedelic drugs. what we are saying is you should do the same for psilocybin and mdma, move them out of schedule 0ne into schedule two and that way, doctors can prescribe them and research them much, much more easily. but what i need to say to you is, don't do it alone at present. these drugs are illegal and i believe, to get the best benefits, you need to have trained therapists present when you use them. the home office told us... guy has nowjoined forces with other veterans, academics and researchers to form a medical psychedelics working group which launches today. the hope, to understand more about psychedelic drugs and their potential as a treatment for ptsd. graham satchell, bbc news. the duchess of cambridge has told the bbc that she believes there is "a massive gap" support given to parents after the first few months of a child's life until they start school. it's something kate says she experienced as a new mum. here she is chatting to louise minchin ahead of the launch of the bbc‘s tiny happy people initiative for children aged four and under. at the heart of the initiative, a simple message, talk to your children from as early as possible. you want more yoghurt? are you making a mess? mrs good. it's important because more than one in four children starting primary school in england do not reach the required level of literacy development and it's a similar picture across the uk. the duchess of cambridge has been involved for some time. today, she and i are meeting three families here at sandringham, to find out how they are getting on. she's very chatty. she is. she learns a lot from us, copies a lot. like eating shoes! does that happen a lot? how have you both been, through lockdown? how have you found it? i work a lot, it takes upa have you found it? i work a lot, it takes up a lot of my time, at least ao takes up a lot of my time, at least 40 hours a week. me being at home, it's a lot different to being at work. seeing things that i don't usually see. and it gives me time to spend with my daughter, bond. yes, it's a very beautiful thing. you just want to eat? my children have bottomless pits, i feel like just want to eat? my children have bottomless pits, ifeel like i am a co nsta nt bottomless pits, ifeel like i am a constant feeding machine! just a few more bits? the same age as prince louis? when is his birthday? the 2nd ofjune. gosh, yes, very close. i was just saying, louis doesn't understand social distancing. he goes up, wanting to cuddle everything, especially any babies younger than him. what kind of resources did you use with years and are using, obviously?” resources did you use with years and are using, obviously? ithink it's really ha rd, are using, obviously? ithink it's really hard, so much focus particularly during pregnancy, when you've got a newborn baby, is on the physical development of your baby and you, as a mother. but what i think is really missing and what i found was missing, was the support their and how to help, social and emotional development. how do you interact with a newborn baby? what is it that you should be doing? not perhaps come in the first few months, there is a huge amount of support from midwives and health visitors and things but from then onwards, there is a massive gap before they then start school. it's that bit that i think you really need the support. have you learned anything new from being part of tiny hgppy anything new from being part of tiny happy people that perhaps you didn't know before? you don'tjust need all these toys, you canjust use something simple, like a tree, you know, a bit of paper, rolled up. and a pen to paper is the best way for them to learn. that's what i find stop talking, talking is free, isn't it? speech is free and we don't use it? speech is free and we don't use it enough. i think science also shows how important relationships are an safe and nurturing environments are, for children particularly under five and that's what really matters. actually, it's not necessarily about the toys, it's not, the places, the exciting places you go, it's how you interact with them as parents, that's what counts. ryan, really interested, you said you noticed she has five different cries. one is, say, if! need to get a drink, there is a fake cry. why are you not here, showing me attention? there is one cry, if you we re attention? there is one cry, if you were watching tv, she is sitting on yourlap, she were watching tv, she is sitting on your lap, she will you think she's crying, you look at her and she's crying, you look at her and she starts smiling and then there's this crime. which is? another attention cry. and she has a feeding try, maybe more high—pitched, and then you had the night terrors one. ryan saying how his baby has five different cries, he's learnt a huge amount from tiny happy people. and it's amount from tiny happy people. and its information like that i wish i had had as a first—time mum but so many parents, its gold dust, really, forfamilies to many parents, its gold dust, really, for families to be given those tips and tools to be able to use, particularly in those first five yea rs. louise minchin with the duchess of cambridge. thank you for your messages. those of you in england, we confided, going to have to start wearing masks inside shops and supermarkets, it's compulsory. 0ne theory says he will definitely get people refusing to wear them, but the masks on, don't be an idiot, and start saying what we do in the meantime? do you have to wait until the 2ath

2ath. fail to wear one, you could face a fine of up to £100. enforcement will be carried out by the police. there will be exemptions, as there is on public transport, for under—11s and people with certain disabilities. wearing a face mask in shops is already mandatory in scotland, and labour's accused the uk government of being muddled after some mixed messaging from ministers, and slow to act. we are behind the curve again. there was a delay for lockdown, delay on testing, delay to protect our care homes. there's confusion over masks. when are we going to get ahead of this virus and this pandemic like so many other countries have done so already? downing street says the prime minister has been clear on the issue, with growing evidence masks can help protect people in enclosed spaces. it is about, you know, measuring the overall risk and taking proportionate mitigations to deal with the risk that's there. and as you open up more parts of the economy, including pubs and restaurants, and as you open retail environments, obviously, there is therefore a slightly increased risk. businesses may hope that it will also grow confidence so more shoppers return to the high street. jessica parker, bbc news. the health and safety officer at union of shop distributing and allied workers, which has around half a million workers across the uk gave us this update on the situation in scotland for his members. so far it has been pretty good in scotland. the vast majority of the public are complying with the law. we are not aware of any major serious incidents taking place yet but there is obviously time to find out just taking place yet but there is obviously time to find outjust how big a minority are a bit more awkward and object to it. what you advise members to do if somebody walks in when they are supposed to be wearing a mask and they are not? they are very clear about it in scotla nd they are very clear about it in scotland and i hope it will be the same in england. it is not thejob of shop workers to police this new law. they are not in a position to do so and have no powers under that circumstance and are not in a position to tell whether the person not wearing a mask has a valid reason for not wearing it or is objecting to the principle. what they should do, if someone is persisting and causing a problem, they can alert managers who can tell they can alert managers who can tell the police if there is a problem. californians reversed the easing of many coronavirus restrictions as the number of infections there continues to rise sharply. bars, restaurants and cinemas are among the businesses that have been ordered to close doors immediately. it follows the reimposition of lockdown restrictions in other states, including florida and texas, with a0 of the us's 50 states reporting rises in the numbers of new cases. peter bowes reports from los angeles. testing times. a rolling back of california's reopening plan because the virus is still spreading fast. the new measures mean sweeping closures of businesses that involve people getting together indoors. restaurants, bars, cinemas, and museums are all being forced to close. more than 7,000 people have died from covid—19 in the state and the rate of new cases has risen to 8,000 a day. in california's 30 worst—affected counties, the renewed lockdown measures will be even tighter, with gyms, hair salons and churches all told to close their doors. this virus is not going away any time soon. i hope all of us recognise that if we were still connected to some notion that somehow when it gets warm, it's going to go away or somehow it's going to take summer months or weekends off, this virus has done neither. when the pandemic started, america's golden state fared much better than many other parts of the country, closing down early with far fewer people infected by the virus. but no longer. for california, there's a long, hot summer ahead, with no relief in sight. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. a doctor who is an infectious diseases expert in california says the state was right to impose restrictions to contain the virus. it's important they do that. they are watching the data closely as eve ryo ne are watching the data closely as everyone is in california and making sure they react appropriately. we we re sure they react appropriately. we were actually on a good trajectory up were actually on a good trajectory up untilaroundjune 12, were actually on a good trajectory up until around june 12, around one month ago. and in the last four weeks things have steadily gone up. week on week. deaths just started going up on july week on week. deaths just started going up onjuly seven. that's exactly what you would predict, 25 days later. the first cases go up then hospitalisations go up and then deaths go up. they have reacted right and deaths go up. they have reacted rightand are deaths go up. they have reacted right and are starting to shut things down and i want people to realise that because of the time lag, you will not see hospitalisations and deaths go down tomorrow but it will have an effect in 2—a weeks from now because of the time lag. india is reimposing lockdowns as well in several cities as coronavirus cases draw close to a million in the country. a seven—day shutdown in bangalore will start at 8pm local time. all but emergency transport will be banned with only essential shops allowed to open. companies in india's it hub will be allowed to open but with only half their staff allowed into the office. india has nearly 907,000 covid—19 cases, the third highest in the world. scientists advising the uk government say a second wave of coronavirus infections this winter could be more serious than the first. with 120,000 hospital could be more serious than the first. with120,000 hospital deaths a reasonable worst—case scenario. a report commissioned by the chief scientific adviser says action must be taken now while the infection rate is slow to minimise the risk of a second peak over the winter months. the recommendations include early flu vaccinations, for health and social care workers. a public information campaign, and a rapid monitoring system to stop local outbreaks. turning to other news, huawei's uk chairman lord browne is stepping down from his role ahead of the chinese tech giant being barred from playing any role in britain's future network. the uk government is likely to announce today that huawei will be stripped from that infrastructure. earlier this year borisjohnson had infrastructure. earlier this year boris johnson had decided infrastructure. earlier this year borisjohnson had decided to grant huawei a limited role but many within the prime minister's own party raised concerns over the potential implications was that we can speak to our assistant political editor norman smith. there are so many dimensions to this. do you have a view on lord browne leaving early? its usually coincidental. he has been there five years now. he was brought in as a sort of big political and commercial hitter, a former boss at bp. i suppose the looming sort of pushback that huawei is now facing, maybe they have just decided that it's time the way it's parted. he is leaving seven months or so early. anywhere you look at it, today looks like being a serious reverse for huawei, notjust because of the impact in the uk market, but because the hope was if they could get the british government to give the thumbs up to allowing them to develop 5g, other countries around the world would think, the british are happy, they don't think there are happy, they don't think there are security risks so it's ok for us. in other words, are security risks so it's ok for us. in otherwords, it are security risks so it's ok for us. in other words, it would be the gateway to get other countries to also give the go—ahead for huawei. so it's a huge reverse, which huawei is facing, and they are going to face a pushback because frankly there is no way now that boris johnson can get this through the commons, even though he has a majority of 80, there are clearly more than a0 tory mps who are poised to rebel against this. so even if you want it to, he couldn't, so there will have to be a u—turn, and may be huawei havejust there will have to be a u—turn, and may be huawei have just decided to go away, lick their wounds and perhaps new —— come back with a new face and perhaps in four years time there is a change of government, a change of prime minister and try again with someone else at the helm apart from lord browne. is looking closer at the parliamentary arithmetic that you mentioned. there was a vote in march on the telecommunications bill and it showed quite a strong rebellion, not strong enough to defeat the amendment, or push through their move, but strong enough. does the prime minister have to have an eye on that as he announces, or they announce today, how they intend to let huawei go ahead and for how long? he absolutely does. the vote in march was actuallyjust a symbolic vote, it wouldn't have stopped huawei. but it gave an indication of the degree of unhappiness on tory benches, so there were a lot of tory mps who said, i'm not going to bother voting for this. i will see what the government does. they will have to bring back legislation to push this through, it's only a symbolic vote soi through, it's only a symbolic vote so i don't have to bother. even so, 38 tory mps, in other words two below the a0 threshold, still decided to rebel. since then we have had the whole cover two saga with accusations that china has not been candid and open with what was going on in wuhan. —— the whole cover two saga. there has been extensive hostility to china on tory backbenchers. the numbers are going up backbenchers. the numbers are going up and up so the only real question now is the scale and speed of the u—turn which the government will have to perform. we can speak to charles pa rton, have to perform. we can speak to charles parton, a former british diplomat in china and a senior fellow at the royal services institute. if we do with some of the points norman was raising about huawei in the future. are we seeing a larger decoupling from chinese technology here? i don't like to use the word decoupling, because i think that's too extreme, but i think we do have to consider the concept of diverging and that there are certain areas ina diverging and that there are certain areas in a world where our political, economic and value systems a re political, economic and value systems are diverging and where the distinction between military and civilian technology is eroding. there are certain areas where we have to agree to disagree, just as china will not let us in our companies into certain sensitive areas, i think we too have a right to protect our national security, our interests and values. you may see it like that and many people in the conservative government and wider parliamentary party see it like that but beijing may not see it like that but beijing may not see it like that. what do you expect the scale of the response to the? beijing clearly doesn't ever see things that go against its policies like that, as you put it. i think we are also in the doghouse with hong kong at the same time and also in the doghouse that various judgments that 0fcom is reaching about chinese... yes, we are in the doghouse, and a normal reaction to that i would expect is to be some measures such as the cancellation of high—level meetings and ministerial visits, probably increased cyber attacks against a number of our institutions. and the threats they normally make against exports, investment, may be the city of london and students studying in the uk, and tourists. i have to say, i think those sorts of threats, the barkis think those sorts of threats, the bark is much worse than the bite, because the reality is that in the past, where countries have been in the doghouse, as we were in 2012, our exports to china rose throughout that time, as did other country's when they were in the doghouse. and investment is not a charity. it's a mutual advantage, and chinese companies see mutual advantage in investing in the uk and i expect that will nevertheless continue. yes, there will be some symbolic pain. there always is, but i don't think that is going to be greater than the long term pain of compromising national security.“ we turn to the other end of the telescope and look at how this leaves huawei, and chinese tech internationally, because even if you don't like the word decoupling in relation to the uk, that is the language that the us is using, cooling, decoupling, in relation to tech globally, so are we moving more into a world where you have to choose them or us in terms of american or chinese tech, and where does that leave other nations‘ choices? when it comes to other nations, and i think the uk is actually quite important in the huawei decision because we do have very good cyber defences and i think gchq is confident it can manage the risk. that may be so but whether it can do it over 20 years is another matter. 0ther can do it over 20 years is another matter. other countries will be looking to see what the uk have decided and if the uk decided it could manage the risk they would say, if the uk can then we will accept it. now the uk is saying we don't think it's an acceptable risk then that sort of political cover for other countries will disappear. so in for other countries will disappear. soina for other countries will disappear. so in a sense that may well widen the gap between the like—minded democratic countries and the chinese communist party. but as for the uk and most countries, we don't want, whatever the right expression is, i don't think it is a cold war with china, but we want to maximise the cooperation is that we can. but at the same time we have to be realistic that there is this divergence coming, it is already with us, and that we have to be respected for protecting our own security interests and values. it is a holy trinity that i'm afraid i keep banging on about, but there it is. thank you forjoining us to bang on about it here. charles parton. face coverings will be compulsory in shops in england from the end of next week — people who refuse could be fined £100. tens of thousands of businesses are ordered to close in california, as coronavirus restrictions are reimposed in america's most populous state. taking a harder line against china — the british government's expected to announce a ban on huawei in the uk's 5g networks. the uk's economy shrank byjust over 19 percent in the three months to may but it grew a bit in may. the office for national statistics says that despite signs of recovery in manufacturing and house building, most of the economy was "in the doldrums". let's get more on this with our business presenter, ben thompson. tell us about the gdp figures. what these figures tell us is that the economy is not going to bounce back overnight, despite some predictions that looked woefully optimistic now, that looked woefully optimistic now, that this would just be a temporary blip, i that this would just be a temporary blip, ithink that this would just be a temporary blip, i think the figures today tell us blip, i think the figures today tell us the recovery will be slow and painful. if you look at the figures for may, the month on its own, the economy growing by 1.8% is well below the 5% growth forecast. analysts below the 5% growth forecast. a na lysts ha d below the 5% growth forecast. analysts had been hoping that as some businesses were able to get back into work that the economy would start to rebound. we know the construction and manufacturing sectors, as are instructions —— as lockdown resections were eased, they got back to work but it was not enough to boost the economy. and the service sector has really struggled. services, be it financial services, bars, restaurants, hairdressers, all those things struggling to get back to normality. we saw in these figures that the economy is still a quarter smaller now than it was in february before the crisis hit. you touched on the three—month figure and ordinarily that gives us a bit of zoom out, letting us look at a more long—term picture. you can see from this image, showing the three—month figure with the economy now at 19.1% smaller, a contraction over those three months, and that's compared to the three months before, and therefore it tells us the economy will struggle to gain traction in the short term, and that is of course because many of us are still not able to work as we would normally. government support is helping to prop up economies and wages right now but that will be phased out over the course of the coming months. underlying all of this is our nervousness to go out and spend. if we are worried about ourjob, paycheque and where our income is coming from, we are probably more reluctant to go out and buy and spend, so that means an economic recovery could take much longer and will be a little more patchy. 0ne longer and will be a little more patchy. one thing to say in all of this, this isjust a patchy. one thing to say in all of this, this is just a first look. it's very difficult to gain all the right numbers and statistics that the office for national statistics needs so we are probably likely to see this will be revised in some form as they get more information but nonetheless, as a first snapshot it really does paint a picture of an economy in the doldrums and one really struggling to make much headway. i hesitate to ask you about the office for budget responsibility because their findings look a little further ahead and are equally, if not more, gloomy. yes, and what we should remember is the gdp figures are looking backwards, they tell us what has already happened based on information that is there. what we have had from the office for budget responsibility this morning, the government's spending watchdog, they look ahead at what they think will happen next and have come up with three scenarios for all sorts of things. there is a best case, a middle—of—the—road average case and a worst—case scenario. based on the middle—of—the—road scenario they tell us gdp will fall pretty sharply, falling 12.a% this year with what they call potential scarring to the economy, essentially people out of work and struggling to find a newjob. they also say unemployment will peak at around 1296, unemployment will peak at around 12%, just below 12%, by the end of the year. what is significant, they are also talking about the financial implications of all of this and they know the government has had to step in to protect wages and try to get people remaining in work or back into a people remaining in work or back intoajob, and people remaining in work or back into a job, and they talk about the cost of all this for the government purse and they say a previous estimate was that all the crisis would cost the treasury £132 billion. they have upgraded our forecast and say it now could be 192 billion to tackle the pandemic. 0ne thing is clear in all of this, it cost a lot more and inevitably that will mean tax rises and spending cuts to pay for it all, so it suggests the economy will take quite a while to get back to where it was and there will be a lot of short—term pain until we get there. ben thank you. china has described a vote held at the weekend by hong kong's pro—democracy parties to select candidates ahead of elections to the legislative council as a "serious provocation". it says the vote may have broken the new security law it's imposed on the territory. hong kong's chief executive carrie lam has called for an investigation into the so—called "pro—democracy primaries". she said that if the objective was to secure enough seats on the council to stop the hong kong government implementing its policies, then it could be illegal. i would just put down a further note of warning. if the so—called primary election's purpose is to achieve the ultimate goal of delivering what they call a 35 plus with the objective of objecting to, resisting, every of hong kong's government, it may fall into the category of subverting the state parliament which is now one of the four types of offences under the new national security law. police in california have confirmed that a body found in a lake is that of the missing actress naya rivera. the 33—year—old, who starred in the tv show glee, was presumed to have drowned last wednesday after going missing during a boating trip with her four—year—old son. he was found alone and asleep in the boat. regan morris reports from los angeles. 911, what's your emergency? this is la ke 911, what's your emergency? this is lake pire. we have a missing person... naya rivera and her son came to lake piru to rent a pontoon boat and escape the southern californian heat. mother and son went swimming, but naya rivera never got back on the boat. authorities searched for six days until her body was recovered. police believe rivera may have gotten caught in the heavy brush and trees of the lakebed. her four—year—old sonjosey was found alone, asleep, wrapped in a towel. the boy told officials his mother helped lift him onto the boat, but then she disappeared under the water. she was not wearing a life jacket. the idea perhaps being that the boat started drifting — it was unanchored — and that she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat, but not enough to save herself. 0fficials used sonar equipment and cadaver dogs to search for rivera. her friends and family gathered at the lake, many searching themselves. naya rivera was an actor and singer, best known for playing lesbian cheerleader santana lopez on the hit musical show glee. our hearts also go out to naya's many friends and fans who have been holdng out hope for the best for the past few days. the sheriff said rivera's death was believed to be a tragic accident, and they did not suspect foul play or suicide. the duchess of cambridge has told the bbc that she believes there is "a massive gap" in support given to parents after the first few months of a child's life until they start school. it's something kate says she experienced as a new mum. she talked to bbc breakfast‘s louise minchin ahead of the launch of the bbc‘s tiny happy people initiative for children aged four and under. more than one in four children starting primary school in england don't reach the basic level of literacy development and it's the same picture right across the uk. the duchess of cambridge has been involved for some time. today she andi involved for some time. today she and i are meeting three families here at sandringham to find out how they are getting on. she is very chatty. she is, she learns a lot from us, she copies a lot. and how have you guys been through lockdown? it's been such a hard time, but how have you found it? i work a lot, and it takes a lot of my time. at least ao it takes a lot of my time. at least 40 hours a week. being back home is a lot different to being at work. seeing things i don't usually... plus it gives me time to spend with my daughter, bond. yeah, it's a very beautiful thing. you just want to eat! my children have bottomless pit stomachs, so i feel like i'm a co nsta nt stomachs, so i feel like i'm a constant feeding machine. just a few bits. she will be the same age as prince louis. elmer gwen is her birthday? louis doesn't stand social distancing. he likes to cuddle everything, particularly babies is a similar age. what sort of resources did you use and are still using? there is so much focus particularly when you are pregnant and have a newborn baby, it's on the physical development of your baby and me as a mother. but what i think is really missing out what i found was missing too was that... was the support and how to help their social and emotional development. how do you interact with a newborn baby and what is it you should be doing? not perhaps in the first few months when there is a huge amount of support from midwives and health visitors and things, but from then onwards there is a massive gap before they then start school. it's that bit that i think you really need the support. have you learnt anything new from this scheme that you perhaps didn't know before? you don'tjust need all these toys. you canjust use don'tjust need all these toys. you can just use something don'tjust need all these toys. you canjust use something simple like a tree, or a bit canjust use something simple like a tree, ora bit of canjust use something simple like a tree, or a bit of paper rolled up. and just a pen and paper is the best way for them to learn, that's what i find. i'm talking, because talking and speech is free and we don't use it enough. i think the science also shows how important relationships and safe and natural environments are for children under five, and safe and natural environments are for children underfive, and that's what really matters. it's not necessarily the toys. it's not the exciting places you go with them but it's how you as parents interact with them. that's what counts.|j it's how you as parents interact with them. that's what counts. i was interested when you said you noticed she has five different cries. one cry is if i need to go and get a drink there is a fake cry. it's like, why are you not hear, show me attention. and there is another cry if you are watching tv and she sat on yourlap and if you are watching tv and she sat on your lap and you think she is crying but then you look at her and she starts to smile. then there is this a try which is another attention wanting thing. then you have the feeding cry which is more high—pitched and then night terror cry. there was a man saying how his baby had five different cries. he has learnt a huge amount from tiny hgppy has learnt a huge amount from tiny happy people and information like that i wish i had had as a first—time mother, but for so many pa rents first—time mother, but for so many parents it will be gold dust, for families to be given those tips

"bbc the border between new south wales and... they are usually divided just by the murray river but no they are separated by police checkpoints and residents need a permit to cross it. sonia works in new south wales and visits clients over the border and we arejoined by visits clients over the border and we are joined by simon, visits clients over the border and we arejoined by simon, a resident of melbourne, which has been returned to lock down. sonia, tell us returned to lock down. sonia, tell us first year experience in these new stricter conditions? it is quite a change. i went to the board at several times a day, so for me my client meetings are there, medical appointments, it is really only a two—minute drive normally to get across the border. it what time of day. it can take up to an hour and a half to get over the border now. what is the nature of the checkpoints or restrictions are questions that you face as you move around? every single car is stopped, you have got to show you a license, you have got to show you a license, you have got to show you a license, you have got to have a permit and there are only certain residents are allowed to go across the border. there are other permit classes, such as essential workers and health care. simon, your experience in melbourne, it is getting stricter and stricter there as well? yes, even today there are rumours swirling around, they are moving from stage three restrictions to stage four, and i guess that's what happens in the sort of crisis, but the numbers are quite concerning and after getting out of lockdown a month ago, it is sad to be going back into lockdown. it has been a bit sad about what we are confronting. and it is everybody observing the new restrictions? much to my surprise, i think australia is very compliant with restrictions. the streets are quiet. 0ne very compliant with restrictions. the streets are quiet. one of the big changes in the second lockdown that i have seen is people wearing face masks which is being praised by state governments, encouraging them to wear masks, whereas the first time around it wasn't necessarily encouraged. everyday behaviour is different in car phase and waiting for coffees and public transport. people are socially distancing so i think they are complying by the rules are a lot more the second time around. sonia, is that mask way where you are wrapping up as well? to be honest, i have not seen anyone that wearing a mask. we have felt quite safe in our regional bubble until this point. i would not be surprised if we start to see more people, but i have not seen anyone do it today. are people expressing frustration about the first —— restrictions are in the understanding of them? to begin with, because we didn't have much information, there were lots of swirling around, there was frustration. now i think there is acceptance, so i think the general consensus is to get this sorted so we can get on with life. there has been acceptance. simon, what is the feeling in melbourne? 0ver been acceptance. simon, what is the feeling in melbourne? over here we tended to view that australia was doing really well, so it is a bit of a shock to discover these new outbreaks and the measures that have had to be taken. what is the feeling in melbourne about that?” had to be taken. what is the feeling in melbourne about that? i think we are struggling to deal with it a little bit. in terms of socially. hospitality, getting out and about, our sporting culture is really important to melbourne life, and the restrictions being in place for such a long period of time it started to affect people, especially those with young kids and home—schooling is going to present its challenges. it isjust a real going to present its challenges. it is just a real challenge going to present its challenges. it isjust a real challenge because in australia it is a bit abstract. we don't necessarily have the same numbers as we see in the news in america and in europe, the percentages are much higher with people being affected by covid—19 in those places, so not many people know people who have had coronavirus. 0ur original approach was to eliminate the disease, we have no talked about suppressing it and eliminating the spread, so there has been a real language change when it comes to how we are approaching it comes to how we are approaching it and! it comes to how we are approaching it and i think there is now an element of society working in it together and there was a bit of an issue a week or so ago when there was only 12 postcodes in melbourne, it was a small fraction of the population forced into lockdown, and i think it would have been really difficult if you were in one of those postcodes, whereas now everyone is in it together. we have to be that they but very good luck to be that they but very good luck to both of you and we hope you get back to normal as soon as possible. many employers and to think about the longer term health impact of workforces. slowly but surely, many are returning to work, but for others it isa returning to work, but for others it is a cause for concern. a growing number of people are complaining of long term symptoms, weeks and months after catching coronavirus. i am in my 16th week no. the day that we actually went into lockdown on the 23rd of march, i start again with very mild symptoms. i had a sore throat, a cough, it lasted two or three days, i thought that was it and now it has just been a roller—coaster since after that, it got worse and worse. sue, a teacher from north yorkshire, is experiencing what she calls long covid—19. experiencing what she calls long covid-19. i have got a persistent cough, dry or with mucus, which is awful and painful in the chest, and the other thing is really bad chest pain. it is of going back to work just isn't viable at the moment at all. this doctor works at a hospital in portsmouth and 1a weeks after catching coronavirus she is also unable to work. i don't think you should work when you are unwell and thatis should work when you are unwell and that is a huge pressure when you are a medic. all health care workers realise that you are putting pressure on colleagues, but i am actually not well enough to work at the moment. i don't feel well enough to go in and even sitting at home i feel shaky. you think you're better and now it just throws you. feel shaky. you think you're better and now itjust throws you. how common are these long—term symptoms? this professor spearheaded the uk's tracker up. about one in ten people on our up tracker up. about one in ten people on ourup to tracker up. about one in ten people on our up to reported symptoms still haveit on our up to reported symptoms still have it at 30 days, so if you roughly estimate between two and a million people have had the virus in this country, we are talking over a quarter of a million people with long—term symptoms, and we have seen people that have had three months of severe fatigue, three months of cough, even occasionally three months of having fever most days, and so we are seeing a whole range of symptoms and signs in this rather forgotten group of people. small businesses are worried about the effect of long—term health problems could have on the uk workforce. healing people have symptoms still after 30 days is incredibly concerning and what has been clear for a while now is this is notjust a short—term issue that will end as lockdown users. there is a lot of things we will have to be dealing with as it economy for years. that is something we need to focus on, supporting businesses to adapt to it and engage with it. evidence suggests that most people that catch coronavirus overcome it within two weeks. but as we know, many others aren't so lucky. also continue to suffer months after catching the disease was hope their struggle is not forgotten. 1a of british cyst charities advanced appeals to

from cox's bazar where she and her team are looking after the rohingya refugee community. can you explain to us the problems which you face and why you need to sell from outside? yes, thank you for having me. first of all, i would like to say that covid—19 does not discriminate based on where we live but covid—19 is more severe in vulnerable people and the people don't like the displaced people and those who live in the camp here in bangladesh, they are part of the society who are in a very high risk area, because they live in very squalid and congested places, we have 800,000 displaced people who are living in around an area of 36 kilometres and their housing situation and hygiene, the availability of medical health care is all very limited for them. on top of that, they also have a pre—existing malnutrition and other health problems which means they are pa rt health problems which means they are part of the community which is highly at risk of developing covid—19 and since we cannot ensure physical and social distancing merges in such a place, there is really no place to even move around, so it is very difficult for us to try and break the chain of transmission among them. it does sound a very daunting challenge and i understand that monsoon conditions are making it worse. what can you do with the outside help? the monsoon has already arrived here at the heavy rains are making it even worse because we have, for example, we have already started to isolation and treatment facilities with the support of the international confederation of the red cross and other societies. we are supplying... we have eight covid—19 sub bass response team so right now... we have this team and we are operating to hospitals and we are providing nursing and medical care for the community as well as the displaced people. in addition to this, we have another sector which is the community outreach. the have a very great role in trying to make this —— break this transition. they go into the communities and the educates people in the camps and they create awareness. it distributes masks, leaflets, hand sanitiser is at hand was products and hygiene products so that they can educate others and themselves and how to protect themselves and how to protect themselves and how to protect themselves and their families and they also have a big role in providing psychosocial support and coordinating with the camp communities. they also have a great role in the dead body management. as well as that, we have another part, which is the mental health and psychosocial support sector. they are doing an excellentjob right now because the transport issues, who we isolate, and help people with their families and give them psychological support, because it is quite natural for someone who has been separated from theirfamily for someone who has been separated from their family and they have to go and live in isolation centres, it is quite naturalfor them go and live in isolation centres, it is quite natural for them to have psychological problems. it sounds like you are doing amazing work in so many different ways, it is hard to imagine the plight of the refugees and the local community. can you give us a sense about how people feel about covid—19, are the afraid? yes, all over the world is, developed or first world countries, many people are scared. 0ver developed or first world countries, many people are scared. over here it is multiplied several times because they already have rumours spreading amongst them, for example some people think that if someone has a fever or path they will be immediately leaving and been taken away, to our community outreach are doing a greatjob in tackling this fear, they can dissipate such rumours and also make sure they are not stigmatised so they feel supported and we can create a bond of trust between them and others. we have to coordinate with the camp communities, in this way they can explain in their communities and masks that you don't have to be scared if you have the symptoms, you canjust come scared if you have the symptoms, you can just come to the hospital and we will give you everything. you can stay here for 1a days. you can't live with your family because it is a big risk because it is so congested. it has been wonderful to talk to you and we wish you all the very best in your work. thank you for having me and i would like to thank the disasters emergency committee for this appeal, as it knows —— as it means the worst —— as it means the most to us and it will be great to do —— get the support from them. thank you for making that point. we will get the numbers up on screen so if you want to contribute you can do so, it will be up in a few minutes. vaccine conspiracies are popping up in the country. but how can you believe someone that believes in these conspiracies? in preparation for this, i would describe myself as very ordinary and plain. for this, i would describe myself as very ordinary and plainlj for this, i would describe myself as very ordinary and plain. i have received plenty of e—mails about coronavirus conspiracies, from false claims suggesting that 5g is linked to the virus to the idea that the whole thing is a hoax, and this one, making misleading claims about bill gates and vaccinations. this e—mail is from simon that he recommended addressing conspiracy theories based on fact. so there is no patent for the new coronavirus which causes covid—19. the confusion about this comes because there is a patent for another coronavirus which affects livestock, and this is owned by pirbirhgt institute in the uk. and no good word to them but not in connection with coronavirus. simon isa connection with coronavirus. simon is a dad of three from shropshire and he also likes to look into conspiracy theories on youtube so i invited a professor to come and meet simon on how to tackle conspiracies. this book about the definition of a conspiracy theory, simon's concerns on what he came across online and why conspiracies like this one can easily suck people in. conspiracy theories, what makes them so appealing and popular is that they very often base small kernels of truth. simon reflected on the conspiracies he entertained, although he admitted he would not necessarily want an approved vaccine against coronavirus in the future.|j think that it might make me think twice but, to me, iwill think that it might make me think twice but, to me, i will always be open to the idea that there is more thanjust what open to the idea that there is more than just what you are being told. how do you think that the conversation you just had with simon went? it went better than i thought it would. he presented himself as somebody who is inherently sceptical. at first sight, that might seem like the different kettle of fish to someone who is a firm believer in a conspiracy theory, but nevertheless i think need to belong to the same universe, in the sense that the kind of questions that he has asked, these are all questions that have been asked by conspiracy theorists and the other questions in which only conspiracy theorists have the answers. conspiracy theories aren't simply some tricky aspect of the end —— internet. in the coming months they risk undermining important public health messages, so if you or someone you know it is editing the conspiracies it is worth starting a conversation. in this month, egypt reopened many of the ancient sites that have been opened because of the pandemic. the openly great pyramids and geezer —— the —— tourist income has been devastated, a significant impact on a country that relies on showing off its eastern —— its treasures. an historic clean—up at the permits. for millennia, this world wonder as wild visitors. but coronavirus killed off egypt's tourism and with it we livelihood of millions. like this man, unable to feed his family kept his favourite camel but had to sell to others. it has been tough on everyone, he says. i have no money, the camel's food alone cost $6 a day. the injured attractions are now reopening but they are empty, except for the occasional local visitor. it isa for the occasional local visitor. it is a blow, after tourism had just recovered from years of turmoil. this woman loves taking tourists around the country. since the pandemic, she has lost 1000 holiday bookings. for now, she is only sizing with her husband. we had to cancel flights, hotels, and i quit eve ryo ne cancel flights, hotels, and i quit everyone that works in the hotel. we all lost ourjobs. you don't have drivers and cars and restaurants, all of these things are done. the tourism minister is on a mission to bring back business and revive the economy. highlighting new hygiene and safety rules and showing how foreigners can no fly into some beach resorts. we lost around $1 billion per month and we are estimating that we will still lose a lot of money through the next coming weeks and months. restoring tourism will take time. but egypt's is counting on the allure of its rich past. for a star attraction, what could be more appropriate these days that a golden facemask has marked? 0ne that a golden facemask has marked? one of the biggest bears ever seen in the world in the uk has been spotted in the peak district. the bearded vulture, with a wingspan of more than nine feet, has attracted bird—watchers across the country. it is not to be only the second time it has been seen here. a man for the wildlife trust has seen it. tim birch is from the derbyshire wildlife trust. he's seen the bird and told us a little about it. it is the most incredible birds, we believe it is coming from the alps, it isa believe it is coming from the alps, it is a young two—year—old, only the second time ever in the uk, one of the rarest birds ever to turn up your, and it has been so exciting to see this bird flying in the sky above your head is a national park in the uk, it has been truly fantastic. hundreds of people had been so excited to see this bird. this is what it is about, connecting people to amazing wildlife and it has been unbelievable. it is quite an extraordinaryjourney has been unbelievable. it is quite an extraordinary journey it has been unbelievable. it is quite an extraordinaryjourney it is hard. we believe it is from possibly be franked by the swiss alps. they have been carrying out a reintroduction programme there for many years. this is the most endangered vultures in europe. it has wandered away from where it has borne. it has ended up in the peak district. we expect it will go back to the alps, it won't breed here. they are not normally find below two or 3000 feet so they are high up in the alps in the mountains, it is extraordinary it ended up here. you are watching new sinews. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. it will be cloudy over the next few days, the best of the sunshine has beenin days, the best of the sunshine has been in these areas. cloud amount has been increasing off the atlantic and it will bring something wet to northern ireland or the afternoon, rain becoming heavy and persistent. maybe not heavy showers in the southern counties of england but much of scotland and england and wales was the predominantly dry, wins coming in from the west or north—west which will keep things cool north—west which will keep things cool. northern ireland at 50 degrees. even with those sort of temperatures, any thinning of cloud will bring sunshine out. as we go through this evening and overnight, cloud remains dominant across the country i will see some further may develop across much of northern and western uk at times. temperatures staying at double figures. if anything, wednesday will be a cloudy day. greater chance of some rain. long dry spells as well, best chance of the sunshine is in the channel islands, may be west wales and devon and cornwall. similar temperatures to today. milder northern ireland. thursday is milderfor to today. milder northern ireland. thursday is milder for everyone. good deal of afternoon hazy sunshine in north—east scotland. south—westerly wind and rain in western scotland. aberdeenshire could get up to 232a celsius. 0n friday, this is front will push its way eastwards across scotland and northern ireland. back to cloudy weather. but more the breeze and a drop in temperature, england and wales will have mostly dry places. it will feel humid again, temperatures up to around 25 degrees. temperatures back down to the high teens and low 20s at the weekend. we got into the start of next week. a bit of green —— rain splashing around, many places dry with some sunshine. this is bbc news, the headlines... taking a harder line against china, the british government is expected to announce a ban against huawei in the uk's sg to announce a ban against huawei in the uk's 5g networks as its chairman in the uk steps down the stop we expect the culture secretary to announce that decision in the house of commons in around half an hour. face coverings will be compulsory in shops in england from the end of next week. people who refuse could be fined £100. new figures reveals the uk economy shrank by one fifth under lockdown but started to grow a little in may. the government says it is investing £5.2 billion in the creation of new flood and coastal defences. and one of the biggest birds ever seen in the wild in the uk is spotted in the peak district. huawei's uk chairman, lord browne, is stepping down from his role ahead of the chinese tech giant being barred from playing any role in britain's 5g network. the uk government is likely to announce today the chinese tech company will be stripped from the uk's 5g infrastructure. earlier this year borisjohnson decided to grant huawei a limited role in britain's 5g networks, but many within the prime minister's own party raised concerns over the potential implications. let's speak to our assistant political editor norman smith. i will take iwill take up i will take up the lord browne question with our business editor simonjack shortly, question with our business editor simon jack shortly, but first a full comedy politics. is this a push from parliament and his own backbenchers ora parliament and his own backbenchers or a push from washington? both, frankly. the position of huawei was becoming increasingly untenable because washington, as we know, had imposed sanctions that meant huawei could no longer get the software it wa nted could no longer get the software it wanted from the united states, which meant it would have to go elsewhere and that raised renewed security concerns. but it seems to me the biggest problem mrjohnson had was that he would not have been able to get this through parliament. there we re get this through parliament. there were clearly more than enough tory mps to overwhelm his 80 seat majority. these signs have been there for quite a long time now because we had a sort of putative revolt in march when around 38 tory mps rebelled. those numbers have grown and grown as there has been increasing disquiet over the conduct of china on the world stage, whether it's in their handling of coronavirus and apparent secrecy in the outbreak of coronavirus, their treatment of uighur muslims and their security clamp—down in hong kong, all of which has frankly led toa kong, all of which has frankly led to a demand on tory benches for a reset of relations with china which i think means that there was no chance that borisjohnson, even if he had wanted to push ahead, would have been able to. and frankly, i think even he was a little bit queasy about the decision. he went for it because of his manifesto commitment for a fast roll—out of superfast broadband, but at the same time he has always been a little bit uneasy about huawei. but the mounting discontent on tory backbenchers i think made it to mission impossible. the prime minister says he is not a xenophobe but but beijing will take a dim view of this decision. i suppose the government has to brace for consequences. there will be big ramifications. the chinese ambassador in london pretty much said sojust the ambassador in london pretty much said so just the other week saying that in terms britain has to decide whether it wants to let the world know it is open for business or not. that matters because we are venturing forth into the new world of brexit where we will have to be carving out our own trade relations and looking around for new markets. 0ne and looking around for new markets. one of the biggest, if not the biggest market, is china. so clearly we do not want to be at loggerheads with china but that's a very real possibility and why that is of particular concern is because we don't have any particular trade deals with any big players at the moment, we don't yet have a trade deal with the eu. we may not get one, we don't yet have one with the united states or india and i would suggest we will probably not get one with china either. so this is a really momentous decision which borisjohnson is really momentous decision which boris johnson is taking really momentous decision which borisjohnson is taking because it has huge long—term ramifications, not just for has huge long—term ramifications, notjust for our sort of geopolitical brexit place in the world but for our economic well—being too. world but for our economic well-being too. sounds like a cue for our business editor simon jack. thank you, norman. before we turn to the global ramifications, what about lord browne? the former bp boss, been on the board for a couple of years and was due to step down in march next year but we have learned he tendered his resignation a couple of months ago so he will leave in september, six months early. it was clear in an interview he gave over a week ago that he was getting increasingly exasperated with the government's relationship with china. to be fair, the government really caught in what is an economic cold war between the us and china. it is caught in the crossfire, so as you said in your introduction, some us pressure but also genuine security concerns from mps. there are security concerns from mps. there a re two security concerns from mps. there are two groups of rebel mps. you have your ha rd—line are two groups of rebel mps. you have your hard—line huawei interest group who want to see everything ripped out, including all the legacy systems by 2023 and no new kit put in within months. and you have the other china research group who want to see no huawei in 56 by the next election and a slightly less and are deliberately vague about the timetable for ripping out legacy systems that bt would say are impossible ina systems that bt would say are impossible in a timescale some have suggested. that is fascinating, and we will have some answers to that when the culture secretary gets up and outlines what they intend to do. turning to the bigger picture and the future and china saying, don't make us your enemy, where does this leave british business in that huge market? in a very uncomfortable position because the uk has courted chinese investment over the last 10-15 chinese investment over the last 10—15 years and has been successful in doing that. you could look in the high street, football teams, transport, they bought british steel and own wolverhampton wanderers, there is little part of british life where you don't find chinese investment as a part of it, but most sensitive at all is our nuclear strategy. they already have a third interest in hinkley point, which is being built. they were promised a third interest in the next one, sizewell, and most important, an opportunity to design their own designed reactor in essex. —— design and build. that matters to china because they wanted a cookie cutter where they could say, it has a british kite mark on it and the uk is happy for us to build nuclear reactors so we can therefore build them around the world. that really matters. 20 years ago we did £6 billion in trade and now its 80 billion. a lot less than the eu and us but a very important trading partner. i'm interested in what the voice of business says in all this. there is the voice of huawei, the voice of parliament and all kinds of government and security voices, but those businesses who want to work in china and now see themselves as this great big elephants fighting here, how will they be affected, those who wa nt to how will they be affected, those who want to go out and do deals? they hope there will be away and up until now british business has found it a pragmatic approach to try to say, we all know we need to do business together, it is the world's second largest economy and we will find a way to walk the tightrope, but re ce nt way to walk the tightrope, but recent events, particularly in hong kong, has forced the uk government's hand. they thought they could keep the us and china happy and keep rebel mps happy but i think events in hong kong have made that much more difficult because the uk feels a special responsibility towards that so a lot of people would be scratching their heads in british boardrooms saying, what is my investment approach now to china? will it be blessed by the uk government? the really sensitive bit now, where some mp groups will train theirguns, if you now, where some mp groups will train their guns, if you don't want them pa rt of their guns, if you don't want them part of the 56 network, do you want them as part of a really integrated pa rt of them as part of a really integrated part of the nuclear future in the country? 0, simon jack. -- thank you, simonjack. wearing face coverings in shops in england will be compulsory from the end of next week, after mixed messaging from the government over the weekend. the new rule comes in on the 2athjuly, and will apply to shops and supermarkets. children under the age of 11, and those with certain disabilities, will be exempt, as is the case on public transport. those who do not wear a covering could be fined up to £100. the move brings england in line with scotland, germany, spain and italy(ani end sting) 0ur political correspondent jessica parker has this report. borisjohnson's been seen out and about in a mask in recent days, signalling a change to come for england. now, those changes have been confirmed. face coverings will be mandatory in shops and supermarkets from july 2ath. fail to wear one, you could face a fine of up to £100. enforcement will be carried out by the police. there will be exemptions, as there is on public transport, for under—11s and people with certain disabilities. wearing a face mask in shops is already mandatory in scotland, and labour's accused the uk government of being muddled after some mixed messaging from ministers, and slow to act. we are behind the curve again. there was a delay for lockdown, delay on testing, delay to protect our care homes. there's confusion over masks. when are we going to get ahead of this virus and this pandemic like so many other countries have done so already? downing street says the prime minister has been clear on the issue, with growing evidence masks can help protect people in enclosed spaces. it is about, you know, measuring the overall risk and taking proportionate mitigations to deal with the risk that's there. and as you open up more parts of the economy, including pubs and restaurants, and as you open retail environments, obviously, there is therefore a slightly increased risk. businesses may hope that it will also grow confidence so more shoppers return to the high street. jessica parker, bbc news. later on the news channel we will speak to our health correspondence dominic hughes and answer questions about those new rules on wearing face coverings in shops and supermarkets in england. that will be in your questions answered at a:30pm today. send in your questions. you can e—mail or get in touch on twitter. scientists advising the uk government say a second wave of coronavirus infections this winter could be more serious than the first, with 120,000 hospital deaths a "reasonable worst—case scenario". a report commissioned by the chief scientific advisor says action must be taken now, while the infection rate is low, to minimise the risk of a second peak over the winter months. its recommendations include early flu vaccinations for health and social care workers, a public information campaign and a rapid monitoring system to stop local outbreaks. the uk economy has grown more slowly than expected in may according to new figures, rebounding byjust1.8% from the previous month after shrinking by more than 19% in the three months up to me. the office for national statistics says despite signs of recovering in manufacturing and house—building, most of the economy was in the doldrums. 0ur business presenter ben thompson said the figures showed economic recovery would take a lot longer than previously expected. what the figures tell us is the economy will not bounce back overnight despite some predictions, woefully optimistic looking now, that this would just be a temporary blip and i think today's figures tell us the recovery will be slow and painful. looking at the figures for may, the month on its own, the economy growing by1.8%, month on its own, the economy growing by 1.8%, well below the 5% growth forecast. analysts had been hoping that as some businesses were able to get back into work, that the economy would start to rebound. we know the construction and manufacturing sectors, as lockdown restrictions were eased they were able to restart work but that was not enough to give the economy the boost it has needed. it is the service sector that has really struggled. service includes all sorts of things, financial services, bars, restaurants and hairdressers, all those sorts of things are struggling to get back to any normality. what we saw in these figures is that the economy is still a quarter smaller now than it was in february before the crisis hit. you touched on that three—month figure and ordinarily that gives us a zoom out, letting us look at a more long—term picture. you can see from this image showing the three—month figure with the economy now 19.1% smaller, a contraction over three months, and that is compared to the three months before. therefore it tells us the economy will struggle to gain traction in the short term. that's because many of us are still not able to work as we would normally. government support is helping to prop up economies and wages right now but that will be phased out over the course of the coming months. and underlying all of this is our nervousness to go out and spend. if we are worried about ourjob, paycheque, where income is coming from, we will be more relu cta nt to coming from, we will be more reluctant to go out and buy and spend and that means an economic recovery ta ke spend and that means an economic recovery take much longer and will be more patchy. 0ne recovery take much longer and will be more patchy. one thing to say in all of this, this isjust be more patchy. one thing to say in all of this, this is just a first look. it's very difficult to gain all the right numbers and statistics that the office for national statistics needs, so we are probably likely to see this revised in some form as they get more information, but nonetheless, as a first snapshot, it paints an economy dotted a picture of an economy in the doldrums of. i hesitate to ask about the office for budget responsibility. theirfindings about the office for budget responsibility. their findings look further ahead and are equally if not more gloomy. what we should remember is that the gdp figures are looking backwards, they tell us what has already happened based on the information that is there. what we've had from the office for budget responsibility this morning, the government spending watchdog, they are looking ahead at what they think could happen next. they are coming up could happen next. they are coming up with three scenarios. a best case, a middle—of—the—road average case, a middle—of—the—road average case and a worst—case scenario. based on the middle—of—the—road scenario they tell us gdp will fall pretty sharply, falling 12.a% this year with what they call some potential scarring to the economy, essentially people out of work and struggling to find a newjob. they also say unemployment will peak at just below 12% by the end of the year. what is significant, they are also looking at the financial implications of this and we know the government has had to step in to support wages and try to get people either remaining in work or back into a either remaining in work or back intoajob, and either remaining in work or back into a job, and they talk about the cost of all this for the government purse and they say the previous estimate was that all this crisis would cost the treasury £132 billion and they have now upgraded that forecast and they say it could now be 192 billion to tackle the pandemic. 0ne be 192 billion to tackle the pandemic. one thing is clear in all of this, it cost a lot more and inevitably that will mean tax rises and spending cuts to pay for it all, suggesting the economy will take quite a while to get back to where it was and there will be a lot of short—term pain until we get there. ben thompson. the headlines... taking a harder line against china, the british government expected to announce a ban against huawei in the uk's sg announce a ban against huawei in the uk's 5g networks. face coverings will be compulsory in shops in england from the end of next week. people who refuse could be fined £100. new figures are revealed, the uk economy shrank by one fifth under lockdown but started to grow a little in may. in an effort to tackle flooding and coastal erosion the government says it's investing £5.2 billion for the creation of 2000 new flood and coastal defences, to better protect over 300,000 properties by 2027. it's also announced measures to increase the resilience of households and businesses when flooding does occur. but is the money going to the right places? let's talk now to heather shepherd, a flood recovery & community support specialist in shropshire. thank specialist in shropshire. you forjoining us. what's your thank you forjoining us. what's your immediate reaction to the government's announcement of more money between now and 2027? generally overall, it's very welcome. it is long overdue investment from government across the country and its really good news. having said that, we haven't. .. the devil news. having said that, we haven't... the devil is in the detail and we haven't got that detail and we haven't got that detail yet. we are yet to answer in a more profound way that will help us understand a bit more. but there are things that are still a worry. for instance, we welcome planning policy will be reviewed but it actually crosses over the fact that planning policy is changing anyway to make it easier to build. so there isa to make it easier to build. so there is a conflict there and we would like to understand that a bit better. but also welcoming that the brick and mortar companies are involved in reducing flood risk. that is positive. some of the other things, the government's cross criteria needs to be looked at because there are many people that flood that never match up to this criteria, particularly in small, rural villages across the country that we have seen flood in storms keira and desmond. and also in inner—city areas, deprived and socially diverse inner—city areas are missing out. they will continue to miss out until this criteria is looked at and becomes fairer for people. it's interesting that you say that. what is wrong with the criteria and why don't these people who need help get it? it all has to add up to a business case. that means you have to have a certain amount of people, a certain amount of businesses, to make it cost beneficial for people to receive some flood protection. many of these places will never match up to this criteria, so for them it must be really disheartening because they know yet again they will have to repeatedly be flooded without that kind of real investment in helping them to reduce that risk. can we talk about the measures that are needed? the talk about the measures that are needed ? the criteria talk about the measures that are needed? the criteria are one thing but i suppose the other thing is what actually needs to be done for homes and businesses and public infrastructure like hospitals and schools. i think we have got to... when it comes to big infrastructure there is investment that goes into infrastructure and that adds up and is available. but the people that really miss out, because they don't add up, they are left with options, really, that are looked at as a business case and those options obviously fail that business case and they are usually left with resilience as a last resort measure on its own, stand—alone resilience measure. there is nothing wrong with resilience and resistance and products like that, they work very well, but we need to be careful about where we use them because we have just done recovery for the storm keira and storm desmond affected people in the last month and a half and many of them are coming back to us feeling like it was a waste of time and money and seeing failures on these. so we need to think about where we are putting them and whether it is suitable for them and whether it is suitable for the type of flood people are affected by. in some areas they work really well and in other areas they don't work so well. so we need to not have that is the only option. we need that as part of the option. what do you mean by day? what are the protection measures you are talking about and what are the resilience measure is you're talking about, for those not immediately dealing with them, just a bit of practical, what are we talking about? when we talk about resilience, which is a really good idea, we are talking about recoverability. so after you have flooded, what can you do in your home to make it more resilient to flooding? so we learn to live with floods. the water still comes into your property but it makes it much easier to recover from your property but it makes it much easier to recoverfrom it. then we have resilience, which is more about resisting the water coming into your home. we are talking there about flood boards and air brick covers and pumps and things like this. all of them have a place within flood risk management and in some areas they work very effectively and in some areas less so, so we need to be more bespoke about what we offer to people. resilience and recoverability in a property is really a positive idea for everybody. when it comes to resistance, that's where we need to be more bespoke. header, thank you for sharing your expertise and insight with us. california has reversed the easing of many coronavirus restrictions as the number of infections there continues to rise sharply. bars, restaurants and cinemas are among the businesses which have been ordered to close their doors immediately. it follows the re—imposition of lockdown restrictions in other states including florida and texas, with a0 of the usa's 50 states reporting rises in the numbers of new cases. peter bowes reports from los angeles. testing times. a rolling back of california's reopening plan because the virus is still spreading fast. the new measures mean sweeping closures of businesses that involve people getting together indoors. restaurants, bars, cinemas, and museums are all being forced to close. more than 7,000 people have died from covid—19 in the state and the rate of new cases has risen to 8,000 a day. in california's 30 worst—affected counties, the renewed lockdown measures will be even tighter, with gyms, hair salons and churches all told to close their doors. this virus is not going away any time soon. i hope all of us recognise that if we were still connected to some notion that somehow when it gets warm, it's going to go away or somehow it's going to take summer months or weekends off, this virus has done neither. when the pandemic started, america's golden state fared much better than many other parts of the country, closing down early with far fewer people infected by the virus. but no longer. for california, there's a long, hot summer ahead, with no relief in sight. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. india is reimposing lockdowns in several cities as coronavirus cases near one million. a seven—day shutdown in bangalore will start at 8pm local time. all but emergency transport will be banned, with only essential shops allowed to open. companies in india's it hub will be allowed to open, but with only half their staff allowed in the office. india has nearly 907,000 covid—19 cases, the third highest in the world. 1a of britain's largest charities have launched a joint appeal to raise funds to fight coronavirus in some of the world's most vulnerable countries. the disasters emergency committee will spend the money on sending food, water, soap, and medical care to countries such as syria, yemen and south sudan. the uk government has pledged to match the first £5 million raised. a judge has ruled that blanket bans on renting properties to people in receipt of housing benefit are unlawful and discriminatory. the court ruling found a single mum—of—two had experienced indirect discrimination after she ended up homeless when a letting agent refused to rent to her. thejudge said "no dss" rental bans are against equality laws. housing charity shelter has described the case as "momentous". the uk's health and social care committee heard evidence today from carers and disabled people on the need for reform in funding the social care sector. unlike the nhs, social care support in england is currently means—tested — meaning only those with assets under £23,250 are eligible for government funding. the head of nhs england, sir simon stevens, also called last week for a plan to fund the social care sector to be in place within a year. let's speak now to chair of the health and social care committee and former health secretary jeremy hunt. thank you forjoining us. before we go to the social care questions, which are obviously very pressing and huge, i want to pick up on another two stories briefly. you we re another two stories briefly. you were also foreign secretary, so what is your view on the huawei reversal coming in the next few minutes?” think it's the right decision. i wa nted think it's the right decision. i wanted us to take this decision a year ago. and it's not because we don't want to trade with china, and we certainly don't want another cold war with china, but they have a very clear strategy, which is they want an 80% global market share of communications technologies. that's pa rt communications technologies. that's part of their made in china 2025 programme. i just don't part of their made in china 2025 programme. ijust don't think part of their made in china 2025 programme. i just don't think future generations would look kindly on us if we became technologically dependent on another country. i think it's the right decision. it has been painful getting there but i think the government is going to do the right thing. and quickly on face coverings, the other big headline today. is that something where you would say we are finally here but we should have been here sooner?” think it is harsh tojudge should have been here sooner?” think it is harsh to judge the government for doing the right thing ina government for doing the right thing in a pandemic. the central question is, if we are going to prevent large numbers of avoidable deaths in any future wave, we have got to think about the safety of patients and the safety of front line staff and the central problem of coronavirus is the a0% of infections that are transmitted by people who don't have any symptoms at all. they are not coughing or spluttering and they don't have a fever. so face masks is one of the weapons you use. another is mass testing of people who are working in environments where they might pick up the virus, such as hospitals. i think it's a good thing to do and i think people will welcome it. coming back to what you came on to talk about, which is a revolution or a reform at any rate, in social care. you have heard evidence this morning so where is your thinking on this urgent, and as we have seen with covid—19 in the last six months, increasingly urgent problem? this can sometimes be a rather technical discussion. i remember as health secretary trying to explain about caps and floors and all these things, but this morning we had very powerful testimony from people, ordinary members of the public, who are suffering because of the crisis in social care. we had a very moving testimony from a lady whose husband has alzheimer's and she can't visit him in his care home because of the lockdown, and she says when she does get to visit him she didn't think he would recognise her any more. so there are some really sad human stories. she is paying £1000 per week for his care in wiltshire. this is really a moment where we have to make a big decision as a society. like we made in 2018 when i was health secretary andrew gave an extra 20 billion to the nhs, nearly 1% of gdp. we said we wa nted the nhs, nearly 1% of gdp. we said we wanted to be a society where we have a decent health service and we look after people who are ill. we have to decide whether we want to look after older people and treat them with the dignity and respect, and that's basically a british value. i think borisjohnson gets this. there will be the usual battles with the treasury but i am hopeful that come the autumn we will finally bite the bullet on this. it's interesting you are hopeful. 0ther it's interesting you are hopeful. other people are less hopeful and point to various measures going on at the moment. we saw yesterday that the care sector will not be included in the nhs for users. there are various people in the care sector who say they see little sign right now for optimism. what concrete reasons for optimism can you give them? first of all, it's something borisjohnson has talked about in his speeches repeatedly, including the speech he did at dudley a couple of weeks ago saying he really wants to reform the social care sector. i think the challenge will be that the costs of the health and social care sectors will go up a lot because of coronavirus and so the treasury is already grappling with a very large additional bill but i think there is some willingness to do that. i think also, and this morning we heard from also, and this morning we heard from a formerjapanese also, and this morning we heard from a former japanese health also, and this morning we heard from a formerjapanese health minister, and they have introduced a new tax injapan to pay for and they have introduced a new tax in japan to pay for social care. that is now around a0— £50 per month, a big additional tax rise, although it is graduated depending on your income. he said people accepted it in japan on your income. he said people accepted it injapan because they wa nt to accepted it injapan because they want to be a society that looks after older people properly and they wa nt to after older people properly and they want to know they will be looked after properly when the time comes. soi after properly when the time comes. so i think there is a lot of public support for this and i think the prime minister recognises that. on the concrete thing, is that something you would push, a hypothetical tax, this is for social ca re hypothetical tax, this is for social care for our elderly people now and for you when you are older. ? it's for you when you are older. ? it's for the treasury to decide how exactly they want to do this. but yes, if taxes need to go up then we should be prepared to accept that. we can't pretend this money comes from nowhere. but when you look at some of the indignity that people are suffering, we heard from someone who has been in a wheelchairfor more than 20 years. and just how little it makes you feel if you are co nsta ntly little it makes you feel if you are constantly having to ask for money and having to ask how much things cost because you can't lead to the kind of life that you or i lead. i think there is public support for that and i think the government wa nts to that and i think the government wants to do the right thing and it's for people like me to keep making the case. thank you for making the case, jeremy hunt. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. the weather has taken a turn for the rather gloomy for the next few days, the reason being all of this cloud coming in from the atlantic. it is actually a warm weather front that will push some rain this evening and overnight across northern ireland into western scotland and, in the small hours, into northern england, wales and south west england. a lot of moisture in the air, a lot of humidity, misty and murky across the hills and around the coasts. 0vernight lows, 11 to 13 degrees. best chance of any brightness on wednesday, probably across eastern england. don't think this weather front will bring much rain. some wetter weather to the north. it dries up for the afternoon and will just keep that solid covering of cloud. brightness at a premium, temperatures back a couple of degrees, typical for the time of year. 0n into thursday, slightly better chance of seeing some brightness across england and wales, same story for friday. look out for some rain in northern ireland to end the week. the headlines. the british government is expected to announce a ban on huawei on the uk's 5g, does sg ban on huawei on the uk's 5g, does 5g network. we will talk —— you have the culture secretary in the house any moment and we will go over that line. these carvings will be compulsory in shops from england. but customers do not comply will be fined £100. the government says they are investing £5.2 billion forflood and coastal defences. new figures reveal the cop —— the uk economy shrank one fifth in the lockdown and went upa shrank one fifth in the lockdown and went up a little in may. we will go over to the commons as soon as we see the culture secretary on his feet with the huawei announcement. 0ne feet with the huawei announcement. one in 20 covert —— covid—19 patients suffered symptoms up to one month according to research. that is causing many employers to think about the longer term health impact on their workforces. the director for small workers written that cyst ——... she says she is incredibly concerned. slowly but surely, the uk is returning to work. for many, that is returning to work. for many, that isa is returning to work. for many, that is a release, but for others it is a cause for concern. a growing number of people are complaining of long—term symptoms, weeks, even months after catching coronavirus. we are in our 16th week now. i am a primary school teacher and the day we all went into lockdown on the 23rd of march, i started getting very mild symptoms, a sore throat, cough, lost my voice, lasted two or three days, but that was it, and thenit three days, but that was it, and then it has just been a roller—coaster since, getting worse and worse. she is a teacher. -- north yorkshire and has a persistent cough. it is either dry or mucus, which is really awful and painful in the chest. the other thing is really bad heart pain and chest pain. the thought of going back to workjust isn't viable at the moment. this doctor works at a hospital in portsmouth. 1a weeks after catching coronavirus she is also unable to work. i don't think you should work when you are unwell and that is a huge pressure when you are a medic. all health care workers tend to feel that you are putting pressure on colleagues but i am not well enough to work at the moment. i am sat here talking to you but i don't feel well enough to go in. even sat at home, i feel shaky talking to you. it is debilitating. you think that you feel better and then itjust debilitating. you think that you feel better and then it just flows you. how common are these long-term symptoms? this professor spearheaded the uk's covid—19 symptom tracker app used by more than three and a half million people. one in ten people who have reported symptoms still have about 30 days, so will be roughly estimate that between two and a million people have the virus in this country, we are talking over a quarter of in this country, we are talking over a quarterofa in this country, we are talking over a quarter of a million people with long—term symptoms, and we are seeing people that have had three months of severe fatigue, cough, even occasionally three months of people having fever. apologies, we are coming out of that year the culture secretary make his announcement on the future of huawei in the uk. during this period of global crisis, it has brought home the profound importance of the reliable connection. ag and superfast broadband has revolutionised, allowing people to do everything from skype calls to downloading movies. but the government is to look to the future. that is developing world—class and next—generation digital technology through 5g for mobiles and gigabit capable for fibre. it is only by doing this that we will remain at the forefront of the technology revolution. in order to realise the full benefit of that technology, we have to have confidence in the security and resilience of the infrastructure on which they are built. deep in the country secure is the primary duty of the government to its people. this precedes all other thought. there is no such thing as a perfectly secure network, but the responsibility of the government is to assure that it is as secure as possible. this is why we developed the telkom supply chain review to look at the long—term security of our 5g networks. it is one of the toughest regimes in the world for telkom security, one where it will shift the... it will be a model work standards are enforced by legislation on huawei —— telecoms. will compact a range of threats and will give the government the necessary powers to keep our approach up—to—date as this technology develops. a critical aspect of this was how we addressed high risk offenders, those who are defined as posing greater security and resilience risk to the uk networks. in january we set out and resilience risk to the uk networks. injanuary we set out our conclusion as to how we would keep high risk offenders out of the network core and out of critical infrastructure and sites. we have been clear right from the start that the chinese owned vendor is huawei we re the chinese owned vendor is huawei were deemed to be high—risk and we made clear that the national cyber security centre it would review and update its advice as necessary. since january, the situation has changed. 0n the 15th of may, the us department of commerce announced that new sanctions had been imposed against huawei through changes to the foreign direct product rules. this was a significant material change and one that we have to take into consideration. these sanctions are not the first attempt by the us to restrict huawei's abilities to supply equipment to 5g networks but they are the first to have potentially severe impacts on huawei's new equipment abilities in the network. the national cyber security centre has reviewed the consequence of the us but my actions. the ncsc is now reported to ministers that they have significantly changed their security assessment of huawei's presence on the uk boss mike 5g network. given the uk boss mike 5g network. given the uncertainty that this creates around huawei's supply chain, uk can no longer be confident that can guarantee the security on future huawei 5g equipment. to manage this risk, they have now issued new advice on the use of huawei in uk telkom networks. this morning, the prime minister chaired a meeting of the national security council. attorneys at that meeting to full account of the advice, together with the implications for uk industry and why a geostrategic consideration. the government agree with the advice. the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new affected huawei equipment to build a uk's feature 5g networks. to be clear, from the end of this year, telecoms operators must not buy any 5g equipment from huawei i wa nt buy any 5g equipment from huawei i want telkom security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so. we also recognise that the range of concerns voiced in this house regarding huawei's wrote in our 5g network. i have listened carefully to those concerns and i do agree that we need clarity and to take decisive action. i have previously set out our plans to manage the presence of high respect —— vendor is in our5g presence of high respect —— vendor is in our 5g network and our ambition right from the beginning was that no one should need to use a high risk vendor for 5g at all. i know that honourable members have sought a commitment from the government to remove huawei from our sg government to remove huawei from our 5g network altogether. this is why we have concluded that it is necessary and prudent to commit to a timed removal of the removal of huawei from our 5g network by 2027. this requirement will be set out in law by bitter —— by the telecoms security bill. by the time of the next election, will have implemented in law and irreversible path for the com plete in law and irreversible path for the complete removal of huawei equipment from our 5g networks. we have not taken this decision lightly and i must be frank about the decision, the consequences for every constituency in this country. this worlds away our roll—out of 5g. i will decisions in january had already set back that were led by a year and cost up to £1 billion. today's decision to ban the procurement of new huawei equipment by the end of this year will delay roll—out by a further year and will add up to half £1 billion to cost. requiring operators, in addition, to remove huawei from the 5g networks by 2027 or at hundreds of millions of pounds to the cost and further delayed roll—out. this means a cumulative delay of two to three yea rs cumulative delay of two to three years and costs of up to £2 billion. this will have real consequences for the connections on which all our constituents rely and i have to say, to go faster and further beyond a 2027 target, without considerable and unnecessary for costs and delays, and of course the shorter we make the timetable for removal of the greater the risk of actual disruption to mobile telephone networks. the world leading expertise of ncsc and gchq has enabled us to publish one of the most detailed analysis of the risks to the 5g network. the uk is now acting quickly, decisively and a head of our international partners. 0ur head of our international partners. our approach reflects the uk's specific national circumstances and how the risks from these sanctions are manifested here in the uk. this has not been an easy decision but it is the right one. for the uk's telecoms that were, for our national security and our economy in the long run. we also need to look at other networks. although these are fundamentally different to 5g, as many members have pointed out in the past, they need to be a secure and resilient as our new mobile technology. reflecting the advice of the national cyber security centre, we will need to take a different approach to full fibre, one that recognises that the identity 5g in terms of their technology, their security and the supporting them. given there is only one other appropriate skill vendor for full fibre equipments, but are going to embark ona fibre equipments, but are going to embark on a short technical consultation with operators to supply the dash to understand the supply the dash to understand the supply chain alternatives so we can avoid unnecessary delays. that technical consultation will determine the nature of our rigorous approach to huawei outside the 5g networks. all this has implications for the telecoms security bill. i am fully aware of the commitment that i made in this house in march two edge to sit before the summer recess, but asiam to sit before the summer recess, but as i am sure honourable members will appreciate today pot will substantially change what is in that bill. we will introduce that bill in the autumn and it is in all of our interests for this legislation to be introduced and passed as soon as possible, because this is the key point. we have to ensure that our telecoms security advice is only secured statutory routing. as this house knows, one of the reasons we are in the situation is because of the global market failure. put simply, countries around the world have become dangerously reliant on too few lenders. we have already set out a clear and ambitious diversification strategy. that strategy will include wide—ranging actions in the short, medium and long—term with the aim of driving competition and innovation, to grow the market and deliver greater resilience across all of our networks. the strategy will focus on three core elements. first of all, we need to secure the supply chains of our incumbents, non—high risk vendor is in place right —— measures of mitigation which was protect supply chains and insulin there is no disruption to our networks. second, bringing new skill vendor is into the uk market by removing barriers to entry, providing commercial incentives and providing large—scale opportunities for new men “— large—scale opportunities for new men —— venues large—scale opportunities for new men —— venues to enter the uk market. and third, addressing the existing structure of the supply market by investing in research and development and developing partnerships with operators and developers to make sure that people are using multiple benders in the render is to make a stand and across the industry. this will require a shared commitment between government and industry to address this issue. we are already engaging with operators, vendors and governments around the world is about supporting and accelerating the process of diversification. we recognise that this is a global issue that requires international collaboration to deliver a lasting solution, so we are working with our partners and our friends around the world to bring together a coalition to deliver our shared goals. i know, bring together a coalition to deliver ourshared goals. i know, in addition, that many members of this houseis addition, that many members of this house is considered the government was mark halsey on high renders in the context of the united kingdom's wider relationship with china. let me assure members that this government is clear eyed about china. we have been robust in a response to the imposition of new security was in hong kong, including our generous offer to british national oversee passport holders. what we want is a modern and mature relationship with china based on mutual respect and we are able to speak frankly when we disagree and also work side by side with china on theissues also work side by side with china on the issues were interests converge. today pass my conditions is ensuring the long—term security of our telecoms network, specifically in light of our new us sanctions. security and resilience of our telecoms network is of paramount importance. we have never and will never compromise security in pursuit of economic prosperity. it is a fact that the us have introduced additional sanctions on huawei and as facts have changed, so as our approach. that is why we are taking this decision that there can be no new huawei equipment by the end of this year and set up a clear timetable to exclude huawei com pletely timetable to exclude huawei completely by 2027 with an irreversible pass implemented by the time of the next election. telecom providers will be legally needing to pick this in place with the bill putting in place shortly. this important decision secures our networks now and lays the foundation for a world—class telecom security framework in the future and i commend this statement to the house. thank you very much, mr speaker, and i would like to thank the secretary of state for the a statement. all sides of the house agree the first duty of any government is to protect its citizens and we have confidence in our national security services who go to such lengths to keep us safe. it has been clear for some time that there were serious questions over whether huawei should be able to allow to control large sections of our country's telecoms networks —— sections of our country's telecoms networks — — telecoms sections of our country's telecoms networks —— telecoms networks. but the government refused to face reality. 0ur the government refused to face reality. our approach to our 56 capability, huawei and our national security has been incomprehensibly negligent. current education secretary was sacked as defence secretary was sacked as defence secretary for leaking part of security service advice on huawei and yet the government then went on to ignore large parts of it. in january, the foreign secretary said ina january, the foreign secretary said in a statement to this house, that they would legislate at the earliest opportunity on high—risk renders. then they refused to work with us and theirown then they refused to work with us and their own backbenchers to enable this to happen. what is secretary of state towers when he will bring forward legislation on high—risk renders, including the robust regulation and enforcement powers required to limit or eliminate their pa rt required to limit or eliminate their part in our network and ensure they will not wash any more, and what the government published security advice on ways to do a 's decision has been taken? on ways to do a 's decision has been ta ken? what new on ways to do a 's decision has been taken? what new information the government was given that was not available to them when the initial decisions were made? i would like to ask to be of state what discussions he has had with the foreign secretary and the trade secretary on likely retaliation? where else are we depended on chinese suppliers, for example, in our nuclear sector? and how are we working with our democratic allies, including, but not limited to, the united states to develop alternatives in these areas? the secretary of state says this changes in response to us sanctions, but in the past he has emphasised how closely he was working with the united states, so were the sanctions a surprise? and is our security policy being led by the us? and did the very visible human rights violations of the chinese in hong kong play no part in this decision? the reality is that the original decision on huawei was made because, over the past decade, this government has failed to deliver a sustainable plan for our digital economy. almost exactly one year ago, when the telecoms review was published, it said we will develop and pursue a diversification strategy, including working with our international partners, to ensure a competitive and stable and diverse supply chain. now he claims to have set out a clear and ambitious diversification strategy which will come as a surprise to anyone who has looked at their statements! sol would like to ask the secretary of state, what were the actions that implement the strategy which has effectively been set out somewhere where i have not seen and can you tell me where it is set out? this is a car crash for our digital economy, one which could have been visible from out of space. —— outer space. then it's up at the cost of this decision in the billions. he says £2 billion. what is the basis of this estimate and how will he ensure that this cost will not pass on to consumers? today's announced it been released to sg, consumers? today's announced it been released to 56, but what are the implications for our emergency services network? a stagger even longer than this one with bt were planning on using huawei. what is he doing to mandate the standards and open our networks to uk companies, such as the cambridge company and a north—east company? crucially, what proportion of the additional money which is spent will go to uk companies and how manyjobs will be created here? companies and how manyjobs will be created here ? the companies and how manyjobs will be created here? the government re ce ntly created here? the government recently announced half £1 billion investment in a bankrupt american satellite broadband provider, open web, are similar investments planned for five or 66 companies? labour has repeatedly offered constructive ideas to get uk out of the huawei whole. we have consistently argued to end our national dependence on all renders and approves corporate responsibility for global supply chains. —— supply chains. this shows the government cannot sort this mess out by themselves, we need a task force of academic start—ups, regional governments and regulators to develop a plan which delivers a uk network capable of secure mobile networks in the shortest possible timeframe. all he committed out and return to the house regularly to update us on the progress? 0r return to the house regularly to update us on the progress? or the secretary of state to get a grip, get a plan and secure our critical communication infrastructure, our digital economy and our national security? lots of questions there from the opposition, but the big announcement from the culture secretary that huawei must be out of the sg secretary that huawei must be out of the 5g ban on new equipments by the end of this year and all huawei equipment out of the telecom sector by 2027. lots more on that coming, but let's go to the weather. hello. the weather has taken a turn for the rather gloomy for the next few days, the reason being all of this cloud coming in from the atlantic. it is actually a warm weather front that will push some rain this evening and overnight across northern ireland into western scotland and, in the small hours, into northern england, wales and south west england. a lot of moisture in the air, a lot of humidity, misty and murky across the hills and around the coasts. 0vernight lows, 11 to 13 degrees. best chance of any brightness on wednesday, probably across eastern england. why is the daytime, we are up against a lot of cloud. it could be some early brightness across eastern counties of england, but the weather front will continue to push way eastwards. further north, you were to spell across northern england but generally it isjust to spell across northern england but generally it is just that tale of a really solid blanket of cloud. temperatures will be below average. thursday brings us a better chance of seeing some brightness, particularly the further south and east you are. for scotland a little bit ofa... we east you are. for scotland a little bit of a... we will see top savages in the east, 23 or 2a degrees and the worst, with the cloud and another where the front approaching. for the end of the week, this front fitting into the north—west will try to sink its way ever more south eastwards. for many, fried it will bea dry eastwards. for many, fried it will be a dry day with some sunshine, is as deep scotland and northern ireland was the increasing cloud, some rain arriving, and it will be a cold weather front to the north, to a sinking its way southwards. just how quickly that fog makes its way southward is subject to some question to look towards our weekend weather. if it is quite slow moving south we may just weather. if it is quite slow moving south we mayjust see a warm spell for the time across southern england, but it does look that we will basically pick up that north—west to the feet of air. temperatures only law way. nothing to settle on the way. facing up to coronavirus — now we will have to wear masks no way huawei — a major government u—turn as it bans the chinese company from britain's 5g network over security concerns. by by the time of the next election, we will have implemented in law a path for the removal of huawei from our sg for the removal of huawei from our 5g networks. we will have the latest on that government u—turn and ask why no. facing up to coronavirus — now we will have to wear masks
