will be made compulsory, for anyone using public transport in england. non compliance means you won't be allowed to travel and you could be fined. the government says people should try to start wearing them now. here's our transport correspondent, tom burridge. please remember to use a face covering while travelling on tfl services. it is advice now. it will be an order soon. covering your face is to become compulsory on public transport in england. the move was popular for those travelling around in warrington this afternoon. you don't want to catch anything or be ill. you don't want anyone in your family to get anything. so i think it's a great idea. you're in a closed space on a bus or on a train or anywhere like that. so i think it probably should be compulsory. at certain times in certain places, social distancing hasn't been possible. on the whole it has been quiet. major stations now have crowd control measures in place as a precaution. but they expect more people to be travelling to work or school in the coming weeks. so when it gets busier, you will have to cover up. enforcing the measure could be tricky. it will be enforced from june to 15th. is it possible that people will be fined if they do not cover their face on public transport? it is a condition of travel, so you cannot travel unless you are wearing the face covering. there will be posters to remind you, it will be quite a visual thing. there will also be other powers. so ultimately, it could lead to fines. i very much hope we won't be in that situation. train companies say covering your face will become increasingly important. but the detail is still being worked out. it should give customers the confidence they can travel safely. but we have to work with government to ensure it is implemented properly. face covering recommended on public transport in scotland and northern ireland. the scottish government is thinking about making them compulsory. wales chief medical officer has called it a matter of personal choice. transport bosses are not averse about how to manage larger numbers were not people move about so the message is, if you have to travel, please, use any type of face covering. now on bbcnews, coronavirus: your stories. philippa thomas hears from people around the world about their extraordinary experiences during the pandemic and how the covid—i9 has changed their lives. welcome to coronavirus: your stories, a programme about how covid—i9 is affecting the lives of people around the world. i'm philippa thomas. this week we bring you stories of those stranded at sea and later the round the world sailors who stopped in the bahamas 113 days ago. first, spare a thought for those whose job it is to go to sea. there are more than 200,000 seafarers out there and many expect to disembark weeks and even months ago. these are key workers who helped to transport more than 90% of the world's goods, the stuff we buy and sell every day but quite often, for the rest of us, they are out of sight and out of mind. it is hard to establish a television link with those who are at sea but we have two stories for you, one german, one indian. the first and apprentice currently on her way to malaysia, the second ship captain whose oil tanker is at port in saudi arabia. this is one of the biggest oil tankers in the world. when ijoined the ship i stay on board for four when ijoined the ship i stay on board forfour months. when ijoined the ship i stay on board for four months. i have when ijoined the ship i stay on board forfour months. i have been on board five months plus and ships would generally be in the far east, loading in the middle east, and it is largely. we then go to japan and other places. can you tell us which ports you are saving between and how long you have been on board?” ports you are saving between and how long you have been on board? i am pa rt of long you have been on board? i am part of the container vessel. i have been on board for eight months and 12 days. we are selling between persian gulf and asia. saudi arabia, united arab emirates, china, hong kong, singapore and malaysia and korea. you are both among hundreds, thousands of seafarers who are now not able to go on shore at all. no, because of the lockdown, we cannot leave. whenever anyone comes on board, than ever issue a supplement to go out. i think in this current situation, we are the safest people in the world but when you feel lockdown, you feel pressurised, but the way things are moving and things are being formed and told to stay on ship, there is no place for us to 90, ship, there is no place for us to go, so we feel it is notjustified. it should be a standard procedure where people can do things normally. i understand that coronavirus's effects are scary but there should be some standard approaches where all issues should be addressed. what do you think world leaders can do to help seafarers like you? should you be allowed to get air flight for example? special flights? be allowed to get air flight for example? specialflights? yes. we're keeping supply chain moving. the food change. we are the ones at the front fighting coronavirus. we are making things move but it is really puzzling that all the borders have lockdown instead of coming together. keeping us on board full prolonged periods of time is not correct. it will be more dangerous for the ship, for the cargo and it can lead to depression or some issues that can be dangerous for society or for the business orfor be dangerous for society or for the business or for the economic sector. you are a ships mechanic, you are a key worker, helping to keep goods moving around the world. what do you think should be done to help people like you who are on board vessels?” have the same opinion. i would say in general, the lockdown is at the right decision to keep country safe. they do not want to spread the virus but there should be exemptions for example for seafarers or key workers in generalandl example for seafarers or key workers in general and i think the problem is that a lot of people do not know that seafarers exist, they should have special regulations and the opportunity to fly home and re—enter their countries. you are and apprentice on your second sea voyage. you at 19, starting a career at sea, now you have been on board for so long, what do you miss most? ican for so long, what do you miss most? i can definitely say i am still happy here but even though i am really, really happy here, i miss, of course, my family the most. for you also the connection with family is important. you are able to talk to your wife quite often? that is correct. at least i get to talk to my family at any time of the day i want. that is what is keeping me moving. as a captain, you are responsible for the morale and the good health, isuppose, of all your crew, what kind of activities are you organising to keep them going? generally, it is a big team out here, it is a floating ship but we operate as a team. as the officer in charge, i make sure the crew morale stays high and everybody is in good health and they operate and work and do their things in a safe and drop a manner so do their things in a safe and drop a manner so that nobody is injured. there are people abroad who have completed their contract and sammy beyond that stipulated contract i'm so beyond that stipulated contract i'm so physically and mentally they are tied. —— sailing beyond. i conduct a lot of meetings, games together, sometimes parties, sometimes wejust chat, play games, maybe in the evenings, a small stroll, and gauging how they are doing morally and emotionally they are sound so they stay motivated and they stay working in good conditions so they do not end up in an accident or a casualty where they are tied mentally. i keep morale very high. i feel myself as a father of the ship, they are my children.” feel myself as a father of the ship, they are my children. i know you have said to me that you have a great captain on your ship as well but i have to ask you, i think you are one woman anything company of men. how is life? do you feel relaxed? i definitely feel relaxed. there is no problem and we have a really great captain. one final question, with all this responsibility, what keeps you motivated? what kissing motivated is a very good question. my wife and family come in play. my wife is a lwa ys family come in play. my wife is always with me and, at the end of the day, i share everything with her and she is the one keeping me alive and she is the one keeping me alive and moving on this issue. she tells me not get lonely, not to get disturbed because this to will pass and we have spent years together and this is what kissing motivated. she is what kissing breathing and kiss me working and that is my way of working on the ship because i know one day i will safely go back to her and stay with her. thank you for sharing your stories of what it is like to be working at sea under lockdown. you are watching coronavirus, your stories. next, a sailing family who found shelter on an uninhabited island in the bahamas 113 days ago. what is it like to survive in isolation and what do they do next? i have been talking to them and their baby, who was determined to be heard. we are out here in an island that is completely uninhabited. no doors, no people, just us and a few other both. —— notion ——no stores. she will be ten months old in three days. i feel like we're doing quite well. we're feeling very fortunate be out here. it isa feeling very fortunate be out here. it is a beautiful place and we are normally set up on a boat to be self—sufficient for months at a time so we are self—sufficient for months at a time so we are able to make our own electricity, we have a desalination plant to make water, we can even make alcohol so we are pretty well set up to be out here and we are taking it day by day and month by month. how long has it been and how do you get food and water? today the back i think it is 113 days. we make water from saltwater through a desalination plant that we have on board. and we can make quite a lot, like 200 litres an hour. and food, we catch our own food a lot. brian is able to go spearfishing. when the lobster season was in full swing, we did that. that stopped about a month ago. so we have not put any lobsters since then but other than that, we have been able to order some food through a male boat that comes through a male boat that comes through the close settlement but it is about... it takes a full day. it is about... it takes a full day. it isa is about... it takes a full day. it is a full day trip for a grocery run. sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't but it does allow us to get at least some fresh vegetable and fruit which is really the only thing we need. before we left on this trip, we had plenty of provisions like salt and sugar and flour, rice, all the basics we have freezes on board so we are able to freezes on board so we are able to freeze some things from our last port and if you add that to the fish that we can spear, we are actually eating quite good out here. i got to put it to you, for some stranded travellers that looks like paradise, a pretty nice existence was that i have also told our view is that hurricane season is on the way or isjust is that hurricane season is on the way or is just here —— is that hurricane season is on the way or isjust here —— our viewers? that's correct. you can feel the change in the weather. it's palpable. we have been having these sudden scrolls that come up, lightning storms, the wind will go from 0— 30—35 knots in the blink of an eye, and when you live in a normal house that is not such a big deal, but when your house is basically booked to the earth with a small piece of chain, dangerous weather can be a real problem for us. weather can be a real problem for us. itjust endangers us and our homes. so we really have to stay on top of the weather constantly, looking at the forecast bulletins that have been coming out. we go to the boat quite often to make sure we stay protected as the winds and storms change. and i guess you are thinking, if it was the two of you you could take a little more rough and ready weather, but you now have sierra to think about as well? yeah, there have been some changes and challenges having a baby onboard. you think about things differently, right? but yeah, for sure, it has changed the way we feel, wanting to bea changed the way we feel, wanting to be a bit extra safe and we will probably move further north fairly soofi probably move further north fairly soon knowing this may be a fairly bad year for hurricane is. —— hurricanes, so we will see how it goes but i think we will start thinking about it pretty soon. this isa thinking about it pretty soon. this is a fairly large sailboat, 53 feet, and if there are two of us onboard, that's karen and myself, and one of us that's karen and myself, and one of us needs to mind sierra, it is often one person sailing the boat, which isa one person sailing the boat, which is a lot of trouble. we are supposed to have grew from austria fly in to assist us to sail, but because of the virus and all of the airport closures, nobody is flying to help us. closures, nobody is flying to help us. you know, when we do set sail it is probably going to be a 7—10 day sale, and wherever we arrived, we are anticipating a 1k day quarantine. when really we need to be self—sufficient for 3— 3.5 weeks, which is quite a bit of time to be at sea, but that is what we are planning for. and i know you are hoping to be able to go to maine, on the north—east coast of the united states, because what harbour are you allowed to go to? what do you think that voyager is going to be like? how do you feel about that prospect? i'm definitely nervous! we have been sitting here now for quite a few months and we haven't done a lot of sailing because we haven't been allowed to. yeah, it definitely feels yearly to think about all of the males we have to go on —— feels strange to think about all of the miles, but we will see how it goes in hope for the best. we need to ci’oss in hope for the best. we need to cross the stream to get up north, and if you have any weather out of the north, it creates big waves in the north, it creates big waves in the gulf stream. so southerly, south—easterly, something like that with the wind behind us, we may be able to make some tracks further north, but maine is looking like a pretty good option. it is out of the hurricane zone, the tropical storm zone, it looks like there will be some isolated and protected anchorages, it has a very low population density and therefore it has had less of an impact from the virus. we were thinking about places to go. we obviously want go to places with a larger population, there are some places on the east coast i would love to go through, we would love to sail past the statue of liberty but now that does not seem of liberty but now that does not seem like a good idea. our plans are com pletely seem like a good idea. our plans are completely changed in that regard. you seem pretty calm, even though you talk about some nerves, karen. let us explain to our view is you are let us explain to our view is you a re pretty hardy let us explain to our view is you are pretty hardy sailors. you are on and around the world voyage, and brian, you have been sailing for nearly ten years now? yeah, this trip started in seattle in 2009, and so trip started in seattle in 2009, and so far we have sailed almost 80,000 nautical miles, which if you measure the earth's equator, we would have sailed around the earth three times. without the's we have sailed the indian and the atlantic, but the thing about ocean sailing as you should never let your guard down, because the second you become complacent, no matter how many e—mails you have sailed, that is when something is going to happen. —— no matter how many e—mails. i still get butterflies in my stomach every time a sale. yeah. i think that's a good thing. it gives it real and it gives it exciting. sarah is doing really well. if you need to walk, walk away —— sierra. as we have seen, you walk, walk away —— sierra. as we have seen, you are walk, walk away —— sierra. as we have seen, you are very isolated and very safe from coronavirus. how does it feel to be heading for your next harbour, to the united states, where they have now passed 100,000, the coronavirus is still very much active? yeah, i think that is a great point. this really is a safe harbour, we have felt very isolated here and as far as the virus here, it isn't a concern because we are out here on a boat, there are lots of these, we don't have too mix with potentially contagious people. but when you think about potentially being caught between a hurricane on one side and a pandemic on the other, we have to make tough decisions, and it's like all things in life, there are always trade—offs. but i have first—hand seen trade—offs. but i have first—hand seen the power of a storm, and that is something that is just unimaginable, what a hurricane can do. we are safe from the virus out here but as far as anchorage goes, it isn't well protected from any sort of big wind or big waves like that. so when we look at it that way, at least this way we can control our destiny a little bit, we can say ok, we're going to move on oui’ can say ok, we're going to move on our timetable, on our schedule, as opposed to getting a five—day warning for a storm and having to pull up the anchor ad hoc and setting off. and i think going to the us is going to be a reality shock. we haven't been to a supermarket yet, we haven't done anything, just wearing masks and doing all of that stuff is going to be different. what about the longer term as well? are you still keen to be able to sail if we get back to anything like normality where harbours are open to you again? will you kariong? yeah, definitely. i meanl you kariong? yeah, definitely. i mean i would love to continue sailing stop this is our life, this is our home, we don't have anywhere else to go live. i want to show sierra this lifestyle and even more show her the world. yeah, that is out show her the world. yeah, that is ourdream, right? show her the world. yeah, that is our dream, right? yeah, it's a lifestyle we love very much and it suits us quite well. we have adapted to it. a final thought. suits us quite well. we have adapted to it. a finalthought. is it suits us quite well. we have adapted to it. a final thought. is it going to it. a final thought. is it going to be strange for you meeting people again and again who have been going through coronavirus and covid—19 realities day by day by day while you have been on this island out in the ocean by yourselves? yeah, definitely. i think about that and i've been thinking about all of the rules and regulations and how we will adapt, especially with the baby, i mean, i can't see how she will wear a face mask. you know, just being able to take her out to see anybody, i don't think that is on the horizon any time soon. and i sad to me, but i guess we just have to do what feels right and stay safe and stay safe for other people and don't take any risks stop yeah, just go from there. yeah, i don't think it's going to be an absolutely was a change of life from us being out here and surrounded by nature, going toa here and surrounded by nature, going to a place where you need to stand a certain number of metres away from somebody, it boggles my mind. what everybody must be going through and how we will have to adapt to it when we get into it. brian and karen trapped. iam we get into it. brian and karen trapped. i am for thank you for joining me on coronavirus: your stories. hello there. the warm and sunny days of the start of the week feel like a distant memory now as it's turning to cooler, more unsettled to end the week. friday into the weekend will be cool and showery, longer spells of rain in the north. it's also going to turn unusually windy for this time of year as well. the culprit is this area of low pressure, which has continued to deepen just to the north—east of scotland. it will continue to push in during the course of friday, bring some persistent rain across the north. further south, the winds picking up. it will be a blustery day for all with sunny spells but also blustery showers. some of these will be heavy and thundery at times, too. and those winds gusting 30—110 miles an hour. further north, 40—50 miles an hour, even stronger than that by the end of the day and this rain will become persistent and heavy across the north and north—east of scotland. don't be surprised as well — with these sorts of temperatures of only around 9 degrees, you could see a little bit of snow in fact on the mountaintops of scotland. further south, around the mid—teens celsius. we could just make 17 degrees across the extreme south. now, as we move through friday night, it stays blustery, further showers at times. the rain in the north begins to push southwards into northern ireland and into northern england, north wales. those temperatures falling to lows of around 6—8 degrees. area of low pressure still with us moving very slowly southwards on saturday. again, a real squeeze in the isobars, particularly central and western parts of the country. so in fact we are likely to see gales through friday night and into saturday as that area of low pressure slowly moves southwards across the country. we could see gusts of 60 miles an hour, which could give rise to some disruptions, particularly strong for this time of year. there's the area of low pressure spiralling off the east coast of england, bringing further bands of rain or showers. again, some of these will be heavy and thundery. further rain pushing into northern scotland but a little bit of a temperature recovery in the north. highs of 17 degrees there, in fact. mid—to—high teens further south. on sunday, a little bit quieter. our area of low pressure weakening still, just to the east of england. so, it looks like eastern parts of england could see most of the rain whereas further west will be a bit drier with a little bit of brightness breaking through. the winds will be later. so, it will feel that touch warmer across the board. as we head on into next week, looks like we'll start off rather cloudy and cool, mainly dry. but the winds will be light, and then if anything, it looks like high pressure will start to build back in through the week. this is bbc news, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm lewis vaughan jones. remembering george floyd. the first memorial service is held for the man whose death in police custody launched a global movement. america, this is the time of dealing with accountability in the criminaljustice system. in hong kong, tens of thousands commemorate the tiananmen square crackdown, defying a ban and challenging china. libya's internationally recognised government
