years in a programme of major building projects being launched by the prime minister today. he s also announcing a further 560 million pounds towards repairing crumbling school buildings this financial year. unions say the money is welcome, but is only a fraction of what is needed. here s our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. some editor branwenjeffreys. school buildings in englan some school buildings in england are ina some school buildings in england are in a shocking state. now a promise of money for rebuilding. plans for more than a billion pounds over ten yea rs. more than a billion pounds over ten years. that stretches beyond the next election. the first few should start next year with 50 projects getting approval this autumn. but the extra cash for repairs will make a difference first. £560 million more for next year, an increase of about a third on the repairs budget. but still, nowhere near the almost £7 billion needed. the true cost of getting england s school buildings to an acceptable standard. we re joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. helen, this is part of a wider plan to kickstart the economy isn t it? yes, this billion pounds for schools is part of what number ten hopes will be a building boom to try and boost jobs. that is will be a building boom to try and boostjobs. that is because the pandemic and lockdown will have a massive impact on the economy was up the fears are massive unemployment. the labour party miss released analysis that it could return to numbers seen in the 1980s. the government is looking to this longer term idea of building more infrastructure projects and they are going to set up a task force to try and speed up building projects schools, hospitals, other infrastructure. of course, this isn t just the infrastructure. of course, this isn tjust the response to the pandemic was not if you think back to the election, it seems a very long time ago now, i know, but if you think back to that, the conservatives‘ big pitch was about levelling out increasing connectivity and making things better across all areas of the dob this sort of infrastructure build does play into that idea as well. today we have this announcement on schools. we could expect to hear more of this over the course of the week was up tomorrow, the prime ministers expected to give a speech on how he to get the country to recover economically after the pandemic so we would expect to hear more about these infrastructure projects over the course of this week was not they will be a lot of scrutiny on the government to deliver on this. helen catt, for the moment, thank you very much indeed. we will be speaking to the education secretary gavin williamson just after 830 this morning. many of you have been in touch about school, reopening, how that might happen and how that might work. wales is reopening all of its schools from today for the first time since the lockdown restrictions came into force in march. pupils will be able to return for limited periods during the week but only a third will be allowed into school at any time. new measures will also be put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. from today, high street shops in scotland will be able to open their doors for the first time in three months. it only applies to those with street access, and shoppers will still be encouraged to maintain social distancing and cover their faces. the housing market will also reopen and scottish premiership football clubs can resume contact training. the government is expected to confirm today that travel corridors, also known as air bridges, will go ahead. it‘s the beginning of plans to relax restrictions on non essential overseas travel in the uk. the final list of countries that we‘ll be able to travel to, without having to quarantine, will be announced this week. nina is at liverpooljohn lennon airport this morning. nina, what can we expect? it is almost entirely mti flight leaving for the isle of man a little bit later. 0ne present a bit early for that. grant chaps the transport secretary is expected to confirm to the house of commons that these travel corridors or air ridges will come into effect from today. air bridges. you can flow freely between them without having to quarantine for 14 days was up there a list of nations that are and are not on there, which will be able to tell you, but that won‘t be able to be said the week. this name, greece, france, italy, they will be on the list. not on the list we think will be sweden and portugal in where they have had recent spikes and shorthaul flights long haulflights because there are stopovers. also a surge in bookings for holidays but lots of questions around that especially after priti patel, the home secretary yesterday, said this will not happen overnight. they will have to negotiate with each individual country and that will take time and this really matters, notjust because people want to get abroad but we have a ready seen the announcement of tens of thousands of job losses in the aviation industry. thank you very much indeed and we will be with you throughout the day. people will want to know whether or not they will be able to go on holiday. thank you. government officials will meet the mayor of leicester later this morning to discuss how to deal with a spike in coronavirus cases in the city. yesterday the home secretary, priti patel, suggested the first local lockdown could be imposed in the city. 0ur reporter navtej johal is there for us now. navtej, how big a problem is this outbreak? the department of health has said that lester is an area of concern but it has also stopped short of saying that a localised lockdown is necessary and that would be the first in the country leicester. it was about 1.5 weeks ago that matt hancock said there had been an outbreak in the city. figures show there had been more than 650 cases reported in leicester in the first half ofjune which accounts for roughly a quarter of the total number of cases so far. in recent days, we have seen several schools have to temporarily close after reporting cases and also it has affected businesses, too, including affected businesses, too, including a supermarket and a big local sandwich maker. as you say, yesterday, there has been more talk about this. peter salisbury, the mayor of leicester, said there was no immediate prospect of a lockdown coming but priti patel said it was a move the government was considering. today, we are hoping for more a nswe i’s. today, we are hoping for more answers. there is a virtual meeting taking place between the mayor, public health england and department of health and that may provide more clarity which is something residents here are desperate to hear. they wa nt to here are desperate to hear. they want to know whether a lockdown is on the way and if so, when that might be the case. the latest live in leicester this morning. more than 500,000 people worldwide have now lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to johns hopkins university. since the virus emerged in china late last year, there have been more than 10 million cases half of which have been in the us and europe. 0utbreaks are still spreading in many parts of the world, with one million new cases recorded in the last six days. the number of mobile covid 19 testing units in the uk will more than double over coming weeks, with the military staffing many facilities. an extra 1,700 armed forces personnel and 140 vehicles are going to be used to set up the mobile units which increase access to tests in more remote areas. swabs are collected on site and taken to one of three mega labs to be processed. it is just it isjust coming up it is just coming up to it isjust coming up to 6:10. good morning to you for. let us talk about what is going on in america. with more than 2.5 million coronavirus cases, the us has the highest number of confirmed infections in the world and there are concerns that the numbers are going up. several southern and western states have recorded a surge after lockdown restrictions were eased. we can speak now to saskia popescu who is a senior infection prevention epidemiologist in phoenix, arizona. good to talk to you this morning. thank you very much for speaking to us on thank you very much for speaking to us on bbc breakfast. give us an idea, take us through the numbers was not how concerned are you by this? we are extremely concerned. we had a recent high of 3800 cases reported in arizona in one day. texas has seen a spikes, california and florida as well. the biggest concern right now is notjust that the numbers are not showing, they won‘t be decreasing anytime soon. hospitalisations are increasing and they are having to increase capacity. we are starting to hit that redline in terms of having to look at how we can try and decrease the pressure on hospitals and the public health system. do you think that, do you get the feeling this is being taken seriously enough? based on some of the images i saw at bars over the weekend, i am not quite sure that the public is really taking it as seriously as we would like. unfortunately, the government has had to intervene. the governor of texas had had to close bars and california had to close bars but we are not seeing that in arizona which worries me a little bit because our numbers are not looking very good and we need to start looking at wider community based efforts like that. what sort of restrictions are in place at the moment and what sort of things would you like to see? in place at the moment and what sort of things would you like to seam arizona, of things would you like to see?m arizona, right now the only restriction is community based mask wearing. there has been no stay at home orders in place. i would personally like to see some closures of bars simply because we really need to try and avoid people going out in large groups without masks to try and help hospitals build up capacity and decrease the stress that they are experiencing. build up capacity and decrease the stress that they are experiencinglj noticed that mike pence has cancelled events in florida and arizona as well. i suppose it is a question about political will, really. does that send out a good message and is that a strong enough message, do you think? advocate is a good message because we know that rallies indoors with that many people who tend not to wear masks are very dangerous environments for transmission that unfortunately we need stronger messaging, especially when it was only about a week ago that the president said we don‘t need to keep doing testing and we could actually drop down our testing capabilities. we need to be doing a much betterjob at a higher level of communicating the seriousness of this and they need to continue testing and investing in public health efforts. i know it is hard whatever country you are in to try and map out how things will happen but there are well over 2 million cases of coronavirus in the us now. how do you think things will develop in the coming weeks and months?” how do you think things will develop in the coming weeks and months? i am concerned we are going to see states that didn‘t have severe surges, like new york city, but states that didn‘t anticipate this, having large surges of covid 19 like arizona and california. i‘m worried we don‘t have the testing capabilities, our hospitals will be stressed and as we move into winter, flu season. i am concerned that collectively the us has become very lax about their approach to covid 19, where that whether that is masks, distancing, avoiding places like bars and busy restau ra nts. avoiding places like bars and busy restaurants. i am concerned because we have kind of assumed that covid 19 is over and that is definitely not the case. really good to talk to you. louise said there are over 2.5 million cases in the us right now, according tojohns million cases in the us right now, according to johns hopkins university. 3591 new cases in arizona recorded on saturday. let‘s take a look at some of today‘s front pages. today‘s metro warns that we‘re on the knife edge of a second covid 19 wave that‘s the warning from a senior scientific adviser to the government. it also features a lovely picture of a nurse called charlotte cole being reunited with her son george for the first time in three months. she‘d been living apart to avoid the risk of passing on coronavirus. the daily mail also has that picture of charlotte and george. its main story is that nhs patients needing hip and knee replacements will have to wait a year because of new infection controls. the guardian leads on the resignation of the uk‘s most senior civil servant, mark sedwill. the paper says his departure is a victory for the prime minister‘s advisor, dominic cummings. and wales 0nline focuses on the fact that welsh schools are re opening today. it says parents have been left angry and confused by what it calls bombshell announcements and mixed messages. we will be looking at that specifically today, what is going on in welsh schools over the next couple of weeks and now, the inside pages. a lack of cash means a third of us have not seen the new £20 note. if you have not seen it, can you see? it is maybe a little bit too little. there you are. there it is, 37% of us have said we have not used one of the new polymer £20 banknotes, according to nationwide. the notes featurej m w turner and issued by the bank of england on february 20, about one month before lockdown. this is related, we know that last year, lockdown. this is related, we know that last yea r, co nta ctless lockdown. this is related, we know that last year, contactless have been raised from £30 to £115 and the big issue is sellers will return to work this week using are you all right? i have a £20 note. i want to see what it is like. using card machines and wearing face coverings and gloves. they will return from july six. have you got one? there it is! i have one! mrturner on the bank back. is! i have one! mrturner on the bank back. have you spent any money recently? no! it has been in my wallet for about four weeks! i have £120 note there! lucky you! one £20 note. do you make a shopping list? yes. quite a few people do. one £20 note. do you make a shopping list? yes. quite a few people dolj have list? yes. quite a few people do.|j have friends list? yes. quite a few people do.” have friends who make lists in the aisles, according to the aisles. you need to have a serious word with them! planning what you need to buy ahead of a visit to a shop can save you hundreds of pounds a year. on average people spend 20% less if they make a list. they did a series of studies, this is based in canada, 262 participants. they spent between 40 262 participants. they spent between a0 and 20% less so a list saves you on average £600 a year.” a0 and 20% less so a list saves you on average £600 a year. i am not saying i stick entirely to my list but at least i start with one. remind me later, chris 0‘dowd, he got bitten by a dog. remind me at some stage. will do! testing for coronavirus is one of the key measures in tackling the outbreak, and now an extra 1,700 armed forces personnel and 1a0 vehicles are going to be used to help expand the programme. since beginning their work in april, servicemen and women have carried out over 500,000 tests in over 1,000 locations, focusing on remote and hard to reach areas. we‘rejoined now by brigadier lizzie faithfull davies, commander of the 102nd logistic brigade. good morning to you. about six months ago you would not have imagined that the army would have to be involved in all of this. how has it gone? firstly, good morning and thank you for inviting me on today. certainly i think all of us, none of us certainly i think all of us, none of us would have imagined what was going to happen six months ago and i was not even doing the role i was six months ago so i have moved into a new role but i think one of the real strength about the british army is we are flexible and used to going to unusual situations at short notice and i think that is why we have been able to help deliver support for this national crisis. for people doing the test, are they medics or how does it work? there are two types, assisted tests and self administered tests. we first started supporting the department of health and social care, the first role of some of our military personnel was to help with the assisted testing. a non military medical personnel but they are trained by some brits practitioners who have done the clinical training to administer those tests but the mobile testing units that i have been working really closely with the development and rollout of, both are self administered tests where an individual turns up to be tested and they administer the test themselves within their car or as they walk into a site, in their own little area “ into a site, in their own little area boots practitioners. soldiers are on hand to provide advice and guidance a mobile phone to make taking the test a bit easier. we know there will be more of these mobile testing units so how quickly can they get into action and get to a town or city, for example? really quite flexible, and that was the whole purpose in designing the mobile testing units was be able to get to somewhere quickly, specifically when there is an urgent requirement or to get to somewhere thatis requirement or to get to somewhere that is less than six volt less accessible. so the big regional test sites which others drive through facilities and the mobile units were designed to fill the gap geographically and conceptually, really, so you could get testing to where it was needed. 0ur troops are on 12 hours notice to move so we can relocate to a new location or deploy a new mobile testing unit within 12 hours normally the night before they will know where they are going and they can turn up the next day with a new task if there is an urgent requirement. we know there has been an increase in leicester so they could go there? absolutely, and these are the outbreak plans that these are the outbreak plans that the dpa has been developing across the dpa has been developing across the country. and when they feel they need additional assistance over and above mobile testing unit they already have in their region, they can request assistance or indeed redeploy some of those in the region to support a certain region.” imagine some of your top priorities is to keep the people doing this testing say. absolutely. we have worked really closely to get the cynical guidance on how to run these facilities and of course we have full health protection measures in place to make sure that our soldiers and military personnel, it is not just soldiers in fact, we have royal marines and reservist supporting us in this endeavour, health safety is paramount in all that we do so everything is done in line with nhs guidelines. thank you very much for speaking to us this morning, brigadier. 20 minutes past six, monday morning and while lockdown has been difficult for many of us, it has provided some light relief and some people with facial markings say staying at home has given them respite from stairs and insensitive comments but as restrictions ease going back into the world can present new challenges. graham satchell reports. school was pretty horrendous, bullying at school was relentless pretty much every day i was getting shouted at names across the playground. ridiculed in class. i have been attacked physically, verbally attacked, because of the way i looked. physically attacked? physically attacked, yeah. what happened? some guys come over and took the mickey and started pushing and shoving me about. philpott birthmark covers one third of his face and has have a lifetime of stairs, whispers and abuse. phil‘s. stairs, whispers and abuse. phil s. i got to a .10 years ago where i did not want to be stand anymore and i did not want go out so lockdown has given me the freedom to stay at home and not go out but, like you say, it can be dangerous because at some point you have to go back out into society and face it all over again. in glasgow, jude has also been abused for the way she looks. she has psoriasis, a skin condition. lockdown has brought back some uncomfortable memories.” remember days when i was younger where i did not leave the house u nless where i did not leave the house u nless necessary where i did not leave the house unless necessary because i was ashamed of how i looked. i could not handle the stairs or the comments. and i almost, even if people were not staring or commenting ifelt like they were so for me, lockdown felt very familiar that way. and it meant i spent 52 days in the house by myself and it was really does make it felt easy because i had done it before almost. what is wrong with your face? such a shame about that birthmark! you? you don t look like a woman. i face only a mother could love. this is a campaign video by the campaign changing faces, more thana the campaign changing faces, more than a million people in the uk have a visible difference and many are used to hiding themselves away. people with visible difference experience this daily grind so the stairs, the comments. the pointing. so because of that, for some people, lockdown has almost been the easy pa rt lockdown has almost been the easy part stares. it is a relief not to have to go out into the world and experience that every day. so what people are saying is it is not necessarily lockdown that has been hard, although it has been for some, but it is looking ahead and saying how will i prepare myself for the world again and what i know is coming when i have had a breakfor some time? over the years, jude has developed a series of coping mechanisms but is worried as we leave lockdown they may not work.” usually try and, you know, take the awkwardness away with a smile which isa awkwardness away with a smile which is a nice, human thing to do but coming out of lockdown and the need to wear masks, that initial human interaction has kind of taken away soido interaction has kind of taken away so i do worry that those are two and, you know, whispers are going to become more because you cannot disarm it with a friendly, it is a case file. it is ok smile. disarm it with a friendly, it is a case file. it is ok smile. phil is also worried stop it has taken him years to come to terms with how he looks to be comfortable in his own skin. only the other day a little girl was looking at me and i smiled, it is a coping mechanism, and she kept staring and i kept smiling and in the end i stopped because she said what is that on yourface? i because she said what is that on your face? i said because she said what is that on yourface? isaid it because she said what is that on yourface? i said it is a birthmark, i was born with it, it does not hurt, it isjust i was born with it, it does not hurt, it is just the colour of my skin, and that is the first time i have had a conversation with a child andi have had a conversation with a child and i have not had that turning in my stomach and that we‘ll sort of feeling of embarrassment. so it has taken 53 feeling of embarrassment. so it has ta ken 53 years to feeling of embarrassment. so it has taken 53 years to come to the point. it was literally two weeks ago it happened. what both phil and jude wa nt happened. what both phil and jude want is life returns to a new normal is some understanding and acceptance. what i want you to do is to smile and say hello and talk to me normally. that‘s what we want. just normality. just because my skin isa just normality. just because my skin is a different colour does not mean to say i‘m going to do anything differently than you might do and still enjoy my gardening, stroking my cat, watching telly, riding my pushbike. i‘m just a normal bloke. thank you to everybody for taking pa rt thank you to everybody for taking part in that film with graham satchell. there is no tennis at wimbledon but! carol is there. it is blustery there? that is one of the warnings for the week, a bit of wind about. good morning. morning, you are quite right, it is blustery here today, dan. some lovely sunshine first thing this morning. and it is the first time since world war ii but the wimbledon championships have not actually taken place here. you can see around me, how deserted everything is. normally sally and i would be in court 18 and you see the commentators box above but that is not there this year. 13ath wimbledon championships will instead take place next year. now what we have is the forecast for today is blustery conditions, as dan rightly said, and also some rain. as we go through the course of the day some of it will ease but it will remain fairly blustery and we‘re also looking at pressure once again being in charge of our weather. it has been with us for the last weekend and it has produced a lot of heavy rain. it will produce heavy rain in the north once again today, a flood warning in force actually around the keswick area. first thing this morning the northern half of the country is seeing some rain and it will be on and off through the day, easing through the afternoon, some of it will still turn showery and be heavy and potentially thundery. further south, we are back into brighter skies, some cloud around, the funniest conditions in the south east, but wherever you are we gusty winds today, dusting up to a0 miles an hour widely. you certainly will notice it. temperatures below parfor will notice it. temperatures below par for the will notice it. temperatures below parfor the time of will notice it. temperatures below par for the time of year, roughly between about 15 in the north, maybe 18 or 19 as we come further south. through this evening and overnight, dominating our weather pushes out into the north sea, heading towards scandinavia. the winds will ease but it will be breezy across scotland and tonight as well there will be some showers around, fairly cloudy, dry during the day, and it will not bea dry during the day, and it will not be a cold night, most of us in double figures, temperature wise. that leaves us into tomorrow. 0ne area of low pressure will be over scandinavia but we have another one coming in. tomorrow we will start in the south with a lot of cloud, some showers, some drizzle, but for the rest of the uk sunshine, but also some showers developing and temperatures are, if anything, i‘m not sure what we saw today. then as we head into wednesday, most of us again having a drier day but still some showers developing, particularly as we go through the course of the afternoon, but a weather front in the english channel is moving north and east and just how fast north that goes depends on how fast north that goes depends on how much rain we will see but eventually, it will pull away the rest of the week dan and lou is looking fairly unsettled. i think you may be having problems hearing us so we will come back to you a little bit later stop i will not expect you to answer any questions now but give us a wave. bless her, she cannot hear us. i‘m looking forward to seeing what is going on at wimbledon when the tennis is not even there. you see henman hill behind carol with nobody on it. or murray mound, whatever you want to call it. it is strange. i m looking forward to seeing, i watch a lot of glastonbury this weekend and i am, wimbledon. adele was watching adele. i was also watching adele! not a big a story. very important though! hello this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we‘ll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: as the government considers bringing in a local lockdown in leicester, we‘ll discuss how it could work, and why the city has seen such a rise in coronavirus cases. celebrity photographer rankin will be telling us why he‘s turned his attention to nhs staff during the pandemic. and we‘ll speak to singer songwriter ellie goulding about the challenges of releasing new music in lockdown. good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. # you get me # schools in england are to receive one billion pounds of funding over the next ten years in a programme of major building projects being launched by the prime minister today. that money will be spend on 50 projects, which will start from september in 2021. he‘s also announcing a further 560 million pounds towards repairing crumbling school buildings this financial year. unions say the money is welcome, but is only a fraction of what is needed. wales is reopening all of its schools from today for the first time since the lockdown restrictions came into force in march. pupils will be able to return for limited periods during the week, but only a third will be allowed into school at any time. new measures will also be put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. from today, high street shops in scotland will be able to open their doors for the first time in three months. it only applies to those with street access, and shoppers will still be encouraged to maintain social distancing and cover theirfaces. the housing market will also reopen and scottish premiership football clubs can resume contact training. more than 500,000 people worldwide have now lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to johns hopkins university. since the virus emerged in china late last year, there have been more than 10 million cases, half of which have been in the us and europe. 0utbreaks are still spreading in many parts of the world, with one million new cases recorded in the last six days. it‘s time now for our a daily discussion with a gp. today, dr zoe norrisjoins us from east yorkshire. good morning. lovely to talk to you, as ever. and speaking a lot today about these local lockdown, potentially in leicester. give us an idea of what the benefits of that might be. well, the idea is that having additional restrictions in place or being able to contact trays very specifically, will enable us to know more about the spread and reduce that. so this is much more the kind of model that we normally see. particularly if there is an outbreak of measles, for instance, and then we would do contractual tracing. and then if there is a school or a care home involved, that thatis school or a care home involved, that that is in operation and then they liaise with local health teams. that is in operation and then they liaise with local health teamsm somebody is watching this nice and early this morning in leicester, should they be worried? what should they be thinking about? the main thing is to go back to all the advice to stop we still have the advice to stop we still have the advice in place about washing hands, face coverings when appropriate, social distancing, it is really back to basics and not taking any additional risks, especially if you are ina additional risks, especially if you are in a more vulnerable group.” additional risks, especially if you are in a more vulnerable group. i am sure most people are aware, this could potentially happen over the coming weeks. from a medical perspective, is this something you feel will work? it feels a little bit like the horse has bolted already. i think. bit like the horse has bolted already. ithink. medically. the question is whether or not we should be in the situation of dealing with local lockdown and actually, is this a reflection of the fact we might have been too premature in reducing some of the restrictions. and i think without wishing to be political, it is just a bit of a nightmare for the nhs to deal with on the ground. where does the lockdown potentially start or end? what are patients allowed to do, what can we as medics do? i think there is still quite a lot of confusion. i know this is difficult to talk about it as it hasn‘t actually happened yet, but what sort ofa drain actually happened yet, but what sort of a drain on resources with that be in the acro to area and i imagine the surrounding area, if it was to be quite serious? the leicester area. secondary care and hospitals area. secondary care and hospitals are looking at the waiting lists that have accumulated and are trying to prioritise patients to get things moving and get surgical lists operating again. that would need to stop so patients are likely to be told yes and then know with treatment for things like cancer stop in general pratt is, we are seeing patients on video and phone general practice. that would need to go back as well. it is trying to manage all those expectations as well as the fact that our performance targets are coming back in soon because they were suspended and inevitably staff being involved because staff will live in those areas and we will see risks of staff sickness going up again. just a logistical nightmare would be my summary, i suspect, for my collea g u es summary, i suspect, for my colleagues in leicester. looking at expectation levels, have you seen a change in that as well? i think all of us have understood the situation that we have all been through over the last 3 four months. when people are still being told that they will still be longed long delays, using frustration as to why it can‘t happen sooner? yes, quite a lot of frustration. i think those initial few weeks, the general public totally understood and were absolutely brilliant but now, quite rightly, they are wondering if things are coming out of lockdown, if we are getting back to normal, if we might be able to take a holiday, why do i have to be waiting a year to be seen, why do i still have to wait for my surgery. that message and the reality of what‘s happening on the ground is really tricky at what we don‘t want to do in general practice is writing around and working out what is happening because they are trying to get the system going. most operating lists are taking 2 three times longer than usual because of all the safety precautions and there is a big backlog. patients will be key for lots of people even though lots of people keen to get the treatment they need and require at the moment. patience. you have been really helpful and some of the main advice we are talking about at the moment. we are also live at liveable airport, looking at that potential ofair airport, looking at that potential of air bridges opening up and links with other countries. people will be nervous about travelling, i am sure these questions are coming up in your surgery as well. what is your main advice on that issue this morning? first thing to do is to think very seriously about whether you are the individuals or the family you are travelling with, need to go on that holiday. how much do they need to be abroad. we would all love to have some time away in the sun. i would love to as well put up i was meant to be going away in a couple of weeks‘ time. but you need to balance the risks. it might be that you feel very differently if you are a young family who perhaps have already had coronavirus and you are going somewhere very familiar to you know everything, perhaps you have family there, as opposed to going to a country for the first time where you might not know the resort. it is really important to know what the healthcare system is there, to know what insurance arrangements are, to know what they covid approach is there, because they would have the same restrictions and advice that we have here but they would obviously be different. so while i completely appreciate people‘s desire to get away from a mental health point of view and just to really have a break, i would say think seriously about it and about people who may be more vulnerable that you might come into co nta ct more vulnerable that you might come into contact with. doctor zoe norris, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you for being here on access to this morning. i think that is where people are, desperate to get away but trying to balance the concerns. we should know where these air bridges will actually be soon so we will give you information as we come to it. sally has the sport now but it is actually about social distancing, isn‘t it? but it is actually about social distancing, isn t it? yes and probably partying. watford will continue investigations this morning after they had to drop three players for their game against southampton due to what they say was health and safety reasons. it‘s after a post on social media, which has since been deleted, appeared to show andre gray, nathaniel chalobah and domingos quina at a house party. reports, which manager nigel pearson, refused to confirm say gray held the party at his home which he shares with fiancee leigh anne pinnock from little mix. the club said the players weren‘t included to ensure the safety of those involved in the match. well, they were missed. watford lost 3 1 with 2 goals from danny ings. saints are now all but safe, but watford are just a point above the relegation zone. unsurprisingly, their boss wasn‘t keen to talk about his three missing players. iam not i am not prepared to make any further comment about that point until i have all the information. it goes without saying that in our own position at the moment, it would be better to have as many people available as possible. they might have lost the premier league title but manchester city boss pep guardiola has challenged his team to retain the fa cup before taking on real madrid in the champions league. they set up a semi final against arsenal at wembley by beating newcastle united 2 0. raheem sterling and kevin de bruyne with the goals. arsenal booked their place in the last four for a 30th time thanks to a 91st minute winner from dani ceballos as they won 2 1 at sheffield united. and chelsea complete the semi final line up after a 1 0 win at leicester. ross barkley, who was one of three half time substitutes with the only goal. they‘ll face manchester united for a place in the final. substitutions crucial there. england bowler stuart broad says he‘s worried he won‘t be able to produce his best form without a crowd against the west indies. the three test series begins next wednesday at southampton behind closed doors. already spoken to our sports psychologist about creating a bit of a mindset around making sure i can get my emotions up to where they need to be for me to perform my best i need to make sure that my emotions are where they need to be for an international test match and that is something i started working on in earlyjune. today would‘ve been the start of wimbledon and while many of us will be disappointed it is off due the pandemic not many will be as disappointed as british number one dan evans who‘s in great form. after beating andy murray in the semis, he won the battle of the brits exhibition tournament with a straight sets victory against kyle edmund. he was the only player to win all five matches at the event organised by jamie murray. and of course carol is at wimbledon for us this morning which looks very quiet and very different butjudy murray is coming up on the programme at about 7:30 this morning to how to keep tennis alive and keep encouraging people back onto the courts. allan i am looking forward to looking through the schedule and booking in watching some of the because they are going to show some really classic matches, aren‘t they? some of the fantastic matches of year years go by, some of the whoppers. that is something to look forward to. the best of wimbledon, how brilliant! 0f forward to. the best of wimbledon, how brilliant! of course i would like to see the real tennis as well but brilliant. what about that game that went on for about three days. it literally did go on for three days! no it didn‘t. it literally did go on for three days! no it didn t. the bbc office overlooks that court and it is not still on, is it? it went on forever! holidays abroad could be possible this summer, as the government is expected to announce that quarantine rules will be relaxed for some countries. nina is at liverpooljohn lennon airport for us this morning. good morning. a very good morning to you. it is always exciting walking through airport doors and i have come through these many times in the past but it has never looked like this. hand sanitiser on arrival. virtually deserted. they have gone from 500,000 passengers every month until less than 1000. have a quick look at the departure board. 0nly until less than 1000. have a quick look at the departure board. only a handful of flights leaving today. and over here because obviously face masks are essential at the moment if you are going to fly even within the airport, there is a vending machine if you didn‘t bring your own was not good news if you are excited about getting to get getting away, later today, we will find out more about those there ridges or travel corridors to other countries. this is how they will work. there is a planned traffic light system. amber it is slightly higher but safe to travel to and read 1‘s is where you won‘t be able to travel without having to quarantine on your return. red ones. the expectation is places like france, greece, italy, really popular destinations, will be on the green list but notable in their absence we expect to be sweden and the really popular holiday destination of portugal. in these because they have had recent spikes and we think long haul destinations will be exempt from the mix as well. when will these kickin? a week from today. we expect announcement later today. we expect announcement later today without specific detail. there has been a surge in people inquiring and booking holidays. there has been reports of massive spikes over the weekend. we are all keen to know what it will be like. tracy has just come back from the falklands. keep your distance, tracy! what was it like on the flight? we are dying to know. oh it was interesting to stop it was quite a large plane, and a300. you don‘t have anyone sat next to you. a window seat, nobody next to you. a window seat, nobody next to you, just one person on the whole four seats and one person on the window seat at the other side. that sounds glorious! it was, actually. face masks need to be used to the whole time and the cabin crewjust being extra cautious with things like, because they were bringing food for us so they were bringing it, leaving it on the tray and not reaching over. you are leaving for the isle of man later this morning. sometimes you go on european trips from there, don‘t you? would your experience getting here from the falklands put you off or do you think it willjust be a bit different? i think it would just be a bit different. for most people, i think it will be very unusual, depending on the destination. and i think maybe also for some people, i think maybe also for some people, i think the actual flying is the thing that might put people off rather than the destination. i think if people have been used to social distancing in the uk, it won t feel unusual doing that in spain or greece. tracy, thank you so much. lots of people will be watching, thinking i am not comfortable travelling yet and we know the inquiries to travel companies have been from younger people and the over 60s and 70s film 0relac went to travel and also concern about insurance as many of the providers will say they will wait until they know what is within the details this week before the update their cover feel reluctant to travel. priti patel said yesterday this will not be clear overnight so perhaps hold tight for a few days until you know exactly what your rights will be. nina, thank you. it is still weird seeing an airport at this time of the day with nobody behind her. it is unfamiliar. it is but it is hopefully, as we will find out later, going to change shortly. the changes could be hugely significant for business owners who rely on british tourists. but how will they cope if quarantine rules aren‘t relaxed for their country? we can speak now to bex and john seabrook who own a restaurant in the algarve in portugal. good morning to you both and oh my goodness it looks lovely there! you could understand why people would wa nt to could understand why people would want to holiday there but as far as we understand portugal may not be on the list. what do you both know? good morning and thank you for having us. at this stage we know as much as you do. we are hoping for an air bridge and we would be surprised if portugal did not get one. but we know at the moment the algarve is a wonderful place to be and we have been open for six weeks and we have all of the safety measures in place and we are ready, we think it is a safe environment. john, what kind of things do you have to change?‘ safe environment. john, what kind of things do you have to change? a lot of social distancing in the restaurant. all of the tables are two metres apart. we have got we have a lot of sanitisation going on and anytime someone comes back from the tables they are sanitised and cleaned before they are sent out again and all of the tables are two metres apart. everything is as safe as it possibly can be to mitigate risk. bex, you say you have been open for six weeks so how much of your trade relies on actually having british tourist? in excess of 50 to 60%. we are very lucky, we are a destination restaurant on the beach and we have very loyal clients who stand by us. but it would be a blow for the summer should those tourists not be allowed to travel without the quarantine restrictions. how many tourists do normally have, for example? at this time of year, we expect 200 covers a day. at the moment it is more like 50. we are delighted to have those 50. they are very, very loyal customers coming down. but we need, yeah, the air bridge. we need the aeroplanes to be flying in. at the moment i think there are three flights in today from the uk and normally they would be 30. we are very limited in what we can do. that is a huge difference, isn‘t it? how much of an impact is going to have to you think on the long term future of your business? i ll answer that. we basically have a three month season here. from mid june basically have a three month season here. from midjune to mid september. and we spent the last six weeks getting ready to open for july and august tourists from the uk and it is essential that we get some business injuly and it is essential that we get some business in july and and it is essential that we get some business injuly and august. because if we wait any longer we will be into septemberand then if we wait any longer we will be into september and then who knows when people start coming. bex, it has got to be a tough time for you both. it has but to be honest, we are the lucky ones. we are opened and we have some business coming in and we have some business coming in and we have a team of 20 which is fantastic and we can support them and we have since we have reopened and we have since we have reopened and normally we would employ a0 people so that wider implications of the algarve economy are more than our personal ones. when we first heard about air bridges, portugal seemed to be one of the first places that might be able to have one so what has been the reaction in portugal, the fact that it may not be? a huge surprise! to be honest with you. it came out of the blue last week that we might not be on the agenda for the air bridges. and yes, there has been an increase in cases, i am yes, there has been an increase in cases, iam not yes, there has been an increase in cases, i am not denying that. we‘re living with the virus at the moment, u nfortu nately, living with the virus at the moment, unfortunately, and portugal is too fantastic track and trace system and the numbers have gone up that is because the testing levels have gone up because the testing levels have gone up and we are isolating those people and isolating the cases which is a huge positive and the authorities here have been brilliant. they really have worked closely with eve ryo ne really have worked closely with everyone and it is a shame the fact that we are being honest and doing a track and trace system is working against portugal. you do not have to sell it to us because we can see! we can see the sand and the sea and hear the waves and you know, it is just quite frustrating, sitting here in the uk. when people can return, you think it will be a safe place to be? 100%, as safe you think it will be a safe place to be? 10096, as safe as it can be. as i said, we are living in new times and living with the virus but all of the measures are in place to offer a safe environment, as safe as it can be. both for the tourists and also for the residents who live here. the last thing we want is a spike in imported cases but we reckon with the procedures that are in place, eve ryo ne the procedures that are in place, everyone can come and enjoy a great, fun, in the algarve. in the meantime, it sounds like the are enjoying it! fun summer. it sounds like the birds are enjoying it. thank you so much, john and bex. those waves there, just tickling the sand. i think we need one of those apps that just sand. i think we need one of those apps thatjust plays wave noises. we should use that for five minutes or so this morning when we need a little bit of a rake, just have the waves lapping at the sand in the algarve a bit of a break. pubs, museums and galleries are all preparing to re open, but one activity has not yet been given the go ahead to restart singing. when a number of choirs were identified as coronavirus hotspots, there was a complete ban on communal singing. the government is now being urged to help find out if singing is any more dangerous than speaking. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito reports. singing. wells cathedral, and an activity that is these days considered dangerous singing. it‘s not the voice that‘s the problem, it‘s what might be carried on the breath and how far that travels. it breaks my heart to know that that‘s dangerous and that could actually hurt people. there has to be some science. there has to be something concrete to actuallyjustify the decision to ban singing. all: # hallelujah! communal singing has, in recent months, become an online only activity. all sing. housemates singing in the garden has been the closest to a public performance in three months. there‘s been a lot of work put into working out how pubs and cafes and restaurants can be safe for people to go and enjoy themselves and yet, the arts just don‘t seem to be receiving the same treatment. put this down here. that‘s three metres there, is it? so, what would a safe and socially distanced choir be like? one set of proposals being considered is to have three metre gaps and to limit the number of singers to six. and so, we tried it out, in the safety of the open air. singing. standing well back, it sounded beautiful to me, but the singers? i‘m going to say it‘s going to be very difficult. you are spending too much time trying to listen out for everyone else. will it work? i don t think so. so what is a safe distance? and the answer to that is, no one really knows. so, is it one metre plus? maybe we go back to two metres? or maybe three metres, which is pretty much what we think the guideline is going to be. well, the question is, what does the science say? the answer to that is, we have no idea. i spoke to declan costello, a consultant who specialises in the singing voice. there‘s been no documented studies, there‘s been no significant research studies looking at this in an objective way. so what you need to do is just measure the droplets coming out of the mouth and how far they go, isn‘t it? that‘s right. so we are measuring the amount of aerosol that comes out of the mouth or instrument, and therefore, how does that compare with speaking or shouting, calling somebody over a canteen. the hope is the go ahead will be given soon work to begin and allow the hope is the go ahead will be given soon for work to begin and allow us to once again sing and listen together. david sillito, bbc news, wells. some waves on the beach in the algarve, singing in wells cathedral. algarve, singing in wells cathedral. a wonderful day! i am ready for the week. and now, wimbledon! no tennis but carol is there. it is, glorious, the sun is shining so let‘s take an aerial look at exactly where we are. from this shot you will be able to see court number one, henman hill and how well groomed it is, and if you look right behind me here, the iconic wimbledon sign, of course, saying 2020. sadly there will not be any live championship tennis here in the next fortnight but i have been joined by one of my old friends, head gardener here martin. what has been like for you this year, preparing the courts and also all of the beautiful flowers around and about, knowing that the championships were not going to take place and half a million people plus would not see them? extremely different, obviously. it is a shame we re not making this site wonderful for everyone but still az acres to look after so we have great team out there taking sure everything is surviving and looking well and ready for next year, hopefully. normally we see lots of hanging baskets behind us and in the atrium down centre court. what has happened to them this year because there is not one. we don t have any in the ground but fortunately we still supply the local street and surrounding borough so local street and surrounding borough so there is 400 baskets outside of wimbledon for everyone but cannot get into enjoy it still so hopefully it brings a bit ofjoy. get into enjoy it still so hopefully it brings a bit of joy. every outside broadcast i have been on i have been saying that the flowers this year seem to be in abundance. have you found that as well? 10096, the early lovely spell of weather got everything ready to go so the same on these grounds, everything looks amazing so unfortunate, unfortunate no one will see it! martyn, you are not wrong, you have done a sterling job with your team has always and thank you so much for being with us and in fact if you have any pictures of your hanging baskets, send it into us and show us and we would be delighted to see them. today‘s forecast is not fantastic, depending on your point of view. looking at blustery conditions and also some rain at times. what is happening is the low pressure that has been in charge over the course of the weekend is still very much with us, already depositing rains across scotland, northern ireland and england. there is still a flood warning in force around the keswick area. today, the northern half of the country is still under the influence of the low pressure, still going to be wet. heavy rain this morning, may be easing off this afternoon to sunshine and showers but some could be heavy and potentially thundery. further south, claudia started the day but a sunnier one in the far south east. like yesterday wherever you are it will be blustery, looking at gusts 35 a0 miles an hour so certainly you will notice it, particularly if you have long hair. temperature wise, roughly from about 12 degrees in the north, 19 as we sweep towards the south, temperatures below average, certainly a lot lower than the 33 we saw at heathrow last week, last thursday. heading on through the evening and overnight, the low pressure pushes off into the north sea, heading in the direction of scandinavia, wind is coming in from the west so tonight it will be largely dry, bar a few showers, fairly cloudy and it is not going to bea fairly cloudy and it is not going to be a cold night for most of us, staying in double figures for most of us with a few showers sneaking around. so as we head through tomorrow, low pressure affecting us today will be in scandinavia and the next one is coming in and what it will do is introduce thicker cloud, drizzle and possibly showers across the south for the rest of the uk, a mixture of white spells, sunshine and showers with temperatures up a degree or so than today. by wednesday, most of us will have a mixture of sunny skies and also some showers but the weather front in the english channel will be pushing north through the course of the day, it has a wave in it so how far north it has a wave in it so how far north it goes is open to question but temperatures closer to where they should be at this time of the year. that is it from me for now. headlines are coming up next. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: a billion pounds to rebuild dilapidated schools in england and millions more for repairs. but critics say it‘s a fraction of what‘s needed. air bridges, or travel corridors, to allow us to go on holiday abroad are set to be confirmed by the government later today. good morning. iam good morning. i am at and near deserted liverpool airport where they have seen a 99% drop in footfall. where will we be able to travel to from the sixth ofjuly and what will our holidays look like? and crucially, will we be ensured? insured. should a local lockdown should be introduced in leicester? there has been a spike in coronavirus cases in the past two weeks. watford will continue investigations this morning after leaving three players out of their team which lost to southampton for appearing to break lockdown rules at a house party. it‘s monday 29th june. schools in england are to receive one billion pounds of funding over the next ten years in a programme of major building projects being launched by the prime minister today. he‘s also announcing a further 560 million pounds towards repairing crumbling school buildings this financial year. unions say the money is welcome, but is only a fraction of what is needed. here‘s our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. some school buildings in england are in a shocking state. now a promise of money for rebuilding. plans for more than a billion pounds over ten years. that stretches beyond the next election. the first few should start next year with 50 projects getting approval this autumn. but the extra cash for repairs will make a difference first. £560 million more for next year, an increase of about a third on the repairs budget. but still, nowhere near the almost £7 billion needed. the true cost of getting england‘s school buildings to an acceptable standard. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. we‘re joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. helen, this is part of a wider plan to kickstart the economy isn‘t it? the first of these projects the government wants to actually start being built from september 2021. the idea being that they will get signed off this autumn. and it is part of what the government sees as a building boom that it links could help the economy recover after the impact that it will see from the pandemic and from the lockdown. and crucially, the government, number ten is hoping it will help to boost jobs. it is a huge concern, what happens with people‘s jobs and unemployment. 0ver happens with people‘s jobs and unemployment. over the weekend, the labour party released analysis that without the right steps being taken, we could see unemployment back to the same levels of the 1980s. we know the government is setting up a task force to try to speed up delivering these begin to structure projects. things like building schools, hospitals, other infrastructure, to try to get that moving very quickly but of course this isn‘t just moving very quickly but of course this isn‘tjust a response to the pandemic. if you think back to the election last year, the kurt conservatives big pitch was about levelling up. we heard a lot about that before the pandemic hit on this idea about increasing chances across the country. a big part of way the government was planning to do that was investment in infrastructure. it is going back to that pledge as well is going back to that pledge as well is not of course the pleasure will be on the government on whether it can deliver on that. helen, thank you very much. we will be speaking to the education secretary evan williamson. that is just after 8:30 this morning. get in touch if you have any questions for him. so keir starmer will also be here. wales is reopening all of its schools from today for the first time since the lockdown restrictions came into force in march. pupils will be able to return for limited periods during the week but only a third will be allowed into school at any time. new measures will also be put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. from today, high street shops in scotland will be able to open their doors for the first time in three months. it only applies to those with street access, and shoppers will still be encouraged to maintain social distancing and cover their faces. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in glasgow this morning. lorna, this marks a big change doesn‘t it? what has happened to our summer weather? it is pretty dreary here in glasgow. i am weather? it is pretty dreary here in glasgow. iam here weather? it is pretty dreary here in glasgow. i am here in the centre of glasgow. i am here in the centre of glasgow. plenty of shops here getting ready to reopen. people putting in place the markings outside the shop because of course there are still pretty strict restrictions here in place. it is only the shops with outdoor entrances and exits that can reopen so shopping centres now stay shut until the 13th of july. so shopping centres now stay shut until the 13th ofjuly. there are markings outside the shops. the two metre social distancing remains in place here in scotland there is also an advisory that people coming in and out of the shops, this store has and out of the shops, this store has a maximum cassidy of 81 people. the national clinical director here in scotla nd national clinical director here in scotland says it shouldn‘t feel like it is returning back to normal today. this is not boxing day sales because of course remember that the 5 mile restriction on travel also remains in place in scotland so people should still shop local. 0f course, as you mentioned, the most important thing of all, the strong advisory that you wear a mask when you go shopping when it isn‘t possible to keep your physical distance. lorna, thank you very much indeed. the government is expected to confirm today that travel corridors, also known as air bridges, will go ahead. it‘s the beginning of plans to relax restrictions on non essential overseas travel from the uk. the final list of countries that we‘ll be able to travel to without having to quarantine when we return will be announced this week. nina is at liverpooljohn lennon airport this morning. nina, what can we expect? important news this morning? unsurprising, really, there are only five flights leaving from here today and that is because from the eighth ofjune, there has been a quarantine in place for anybody returning to the uk. they will have to stay at home for 1a days under strict rules for top that is being reviewed today and it looks like it will be set to change with so called air bridges. travel corridors. reciprocal agreements between two nations that means you can travel freely to and from them without having to quarantine. we expect that to be announced to the house of commons by the transport secretary later today. what we don‘t we will learn is the specific details on which nations will be on the list. the expectation is places like france, spain, italy, greece, where the r number has diminished significantly, will be on the list. consent will be around portugal where they have seen a spike in lisbon and also sweden which has a higher r number. this has significant implications for holidays. there has been a surge in bookings over the weekend, but yesterday, a warning from the home secretary priti patel. these are going to take some time. in her words, the agreements will not be overnight. also a warning from insurers to wait and see the details are before you book. thank you good to talk to you. more than 500,000 people worldwide have now lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to johns hopkins university. since the virus emerged in china late last year, there have been more than 10 million cases, half of which have been in the us and europe. 0utbreaks are still spreading in many parts of the world, with one million new cases recorded in the last six days. coronavirus infections across the united states have passed 2.5 million, with record numbers of cases reported in the states of florida and texas. the surge in cases in southern states comes after businesses were allowed to re open in recent weeks. on saturday, florida reported more than 9,500 new cases. the number of mobile covid 19 testing units in the uk will more than double over coming weeks, with the military staffing many facilities. an extra 1,700 armed forces personnel and 1a0 vehicles are going to be used to set up the mobile units which increase access to tests in more remote areas. swabs are collected on site and taken to one of three mega labs to be processed. those are some of the main stories around this morning. it is now approaching 7:10. the first local lockdown is being considered by the government after a surge in the number of coronavirus cases in leicester. the city‘s mayor and public health director will meet government officials today to discuss 658 new cases of the virus which occurred in the first two weeks ofjune. that accounts for almost a quarter of the total number of cases recorded there during the pandemic. we‘ve been to find out what people in leicester had to say. my my nerves are really going and i can‘t do it again, i couldn‘t stay in again. if they are going to do a lockdown for leicester, what about people in the community? what about people in the community? what about people that work outside of leicester live in leicester. the lockdown, it is likely to be u na cce pta ble by lockdown, it is likely to be unacceptable by a majority of people in the city stopped i would be gutted, to be completely honest with you. people are looking forward to starting to getting their lives back to normal and a lot of people can‘t do that if we have got to go back into lockdown. very interesting to hear those opinions. we‘rejoined now by the labour mp for leicester east claudia webbe, who‘s in westminster, and leicester based gp dr mayur lakhani. tell us about how concerned you are about what appears to be the rise in cases in leicester? i am absolutely, deeply concerned about what i‘m hearing in terms of the increase in coronavirus cases in the city. and like so many residents you have heard this morning, it is a worrying time because of course we have all had to enjoy this lockdown in order to keep, you know, to protect lives and keep everybody safe. the reality is is that we have had this announcement from the government of announcement from the government of an outbreak on national tv 11 days ago when matt hancock used the government‘s daily media briefing to announce that leicester had an outbreak. now, the reality is that 11 days on, we are not hearing about the progress, we are not hearing that there is improvement, we are not hearing that we are in recovery, so there is a significant issue. in a city where the minority make up the majority, wearing a constituency like mine, there are levels of african asian minorities communities, significant levels of poverty, a2% of children in my constituency are living in poverty and that is obviously quite concerning. and then you have got theissue, concerning. and then you have got the issue, you know, a the average wage is £160 less than the uk average. there are problems in terms of inequalities and high levels of poverty that i am particular concerned about and what that means in terms of coronavirus increase. that is the context in which this covid 19 is operating in. so i am very very concerned. we need to engage in services that protect lives and i think we need to go into, therefore, more localised lockdown to protect lives and ensure that we can address this virus because the government has not we should reassured us thus far. the communication from the government has been unclear and it has been difficult. i really don‘t understand what communities are meant to follow. i want to come back to you on the localised lockdown before we bring in the doctor. what would the localised lockdown look like? what measures? what im indicating is very clearly that in terms of protecting lives, we have got to begin to getting back to some of the lockdown measures that the government put in place way back in march. that is going to be difficult, of course it will be difficult, but if there is no other way to protect lives, if 11 days on since the government announced that there was an outbreak and we‘re not seeing an improvement, we need to look at that data, the government needs to provide the analysis and ensure that we have the postcode clear and then need to put in measures that begin to look like people retaining within their own households, people maintaining two metres‘ distance. we‘re talking about a situation where we are hearing about need for a lock down. this is what the government briefed papers over the weekend. the need for a lockdown on july papers over the weekend. the need for a lockdown onjuly the papers over the weekend. the need for a lockdown on july the fourth, almost a week on, we‘re going to have more opening of society. more easing of lockdown. i think this is reckless when you have got a situation in leicester where 25%, a quarter of the cases in leicester, are now in situation that has happened in the last two weeks is not we have a significant problem and we need to look at a serious set of measures to keep community safe. let us speak to dr mayur lakhani, a leicester gp, former chair of the general college of practitioners. have you seen the impact of what seems to be this increase, this surge in leicester? we have been made aware of a spike ina numberof we have been made aware of a spike in a number of cases ina numberof we have been made aware of a spike in a number of cases and we have had one third more cases than we would expect which is obviously concerning so expect which is obviously concerning so while the rest of the country have shown a downward, seen a downward trend, in leicester we have seen an increased number of cases. however, reports from local practices do not necessarily report an increase in activity but we are monitoring the situation very closely. so this is concerning but i wa nt closely. so this is concerning but i want to reassure everyone listening, particularly from our area, which is the local nhs, gps and hospitals are well prepared and we are putting in plans to deal with any surge in activity, for example making sure that we have enough ppe. from what you are saying, you feel like you wa nt you are saying, you feel like you want to wait to see what will happen in the coming days before you sort of into a lockdown in leicester? because there may be an increasing cases but you are not seeing an increase in need? so i think we have to monitor the situation very carefully. i want to reassure people that they must not be any precipitous action. i do not send any imminent sense of what down. i think the key strategy here is testing. tracing. and isolating. i think through that, we can achieve a lot of good. my biggest concern here is that obviously, leicester has a large population which is vulnerable through their ethnicity or poverty or diabetes, which is widespread in leicester. we know that patients like that get more infection and severe infection and they have complications. so we want to protect both communities as much as possible so both communities as much as possible soi both communities as much as possible so i think data monitoring at a local level will drive this decision making. i do want to reassure people but i think we can doa reassure people but i think we can do a lotjust reassure people but i think we can do a lot just through sensible precautions like only going out if it is essential. by keeping the two metre social distancing, through hand washing and through wearing face coverings. can i ask, we will speak to a virologist in a moment so briefly, claudia webbe, people in leicester have said there is a sense of some people really finding it difficult, the health and safety things and people are concerned about that, but concerned about the impact of having to go into lockdown again so do you accept it is a difficult balance? it is incredibly difficult. of course, for communities. because of course not all communities have been helped through this lockdown. there have been gaps in the government‘s support and safety net, if you like. people have fallen through that safety net. and when you think about people whose immigration status, for example, they have no recourse to public funds, they have nothing to fall back on and they need to go to work in order to survive, essentially. that is what they are saying because they are not able to rely on universal credit. and the government really needs to remove the no recourse to public funds. many in the hospitality sector, medium size businesses, that have not been able to be assisted through this and many people are self employed who have not equally been able to be supported so many people have not been supported by the government in terms of resources , the government in terms of resources, in terms of being able to survive and protect their livelihoods. and of course when we talk about the need for saving lives, we must also talk about the need for saving livelihoods too and the government needs to balance the protective factors in terms of saving lives with disability, to save livelihoods in order that people do not feel the pressure, if they are ill, to go to work on the pressure, if they are suffering, to kind of like be able to seek that help and that support. the data is a problem as well. i m so sorry to interrupt but we want to speak to a biologist about exactly this so thank you indeed, claudia webbe and also dr mayur lakhani. thank you both for your time. we‘re joined now from cambridge by virologist chris smith, who you may know as the naked scientist. thank you very much for being with us this morning. i know you have been listening carefully to our two previous guests so what is your take on the situation we are seeing in leicester? well, this is an outbreak. in other words we have gone from a few cases to lots of cases. and lots of cases all of a sudden. and that means it has to be taken very seriously because it could mean when you are going to get a lot of cases you will get more cases and we have never been in this situation before with a virus doing this and we are having to work out how best to control this and manage this also as we go along but we can fall back on history because we have got a track record of having dealt with red diseases all over the world in years gone by. read. things like lockdown is unnecessary under certain circumstances that under others, you do things like with dealing with bobo, what you do with you go in and you act decisively and one area you find out whether cases are you isolate the cases and you break the train of transmission ebola. i do not think any cars off the table in this which is why priti patel said to andrew marr yesterday a lockdown is a possibility but i think that is one end of the spectrum cards off the table. information gathering is the most important thing to find out where the outbreak is and what has caused it and who is giving it to whom, who is most at risk and then you know who to focus your attention on. you talk about the fact that we are learning all of the time how to deal with this outbreak. could it be then, what one of the reasons they might use this in leicester is to learn from it, to see if something like this may work in other places going down the line. quite. because at the moment it is really early days. we have just at the moment it is really early days. we havejust come at the moment it is really early days. we have just come out of the national lot down. we are in the process of easing the national lockdown. the amount of virus in circulation is low, probably less than 0.05% circulation is low, probably less than 0.05 % which translates into one person in 2000. but as we ease restrictions and there are more people movements and interactions between people, and people make more mistakes, i mean, we are human and make mistakes, there will be more opportunities for transmission to occur between individuals so we will see more cases of coronavirus cropping up. rather than an enormous great surge we will probably see a sequence of rebels all over the place. it is, so we have an advantage, we are in the eye of the storm as it were but wind is coming and therefore, we have to have a plan in place of how we will cope with it when winter comes so a learning opportunity now and work out why it happens, when it happens, how it happens and how we deal with it when it happens, this is a good learning opportunity to do that. bit of a game of thrones reference there as well! we are hearing about some of the specific things in leicester that may have added to this sort of increase in infections. those sorts of pockets, what things are you seeing that may cause a spike in certain areas? 0ximetry? use face masks? what else may we need to consider when looking at this? proximity. need to consider when looking at this? proximity. i am reassured we know about this because it is better to know about a problem because what it tells you is your surveillance system is working and things are being picked up and if things are being picked up and if things are being picked up and if things are picked up they can be acted on. one of the crucial things is information. knowledge is power in this sort of game. going in and finding out where this is coming from and what has triggered this is going to be critical because history repeats. not just going to be critical because history repeats. notjust in this country, all over the world, and we are learning from other countries as well. ageing had their own outbreak centred on a food market so they went in and shot the neighbourhood where the market was and they created one of those caught on solitaire by shutting ten of the adjacent neighbourhoods by bearing down on the virus and stopping it from moving any further so where are the cases, it has caused them, who is giving it to who, who is most affected and can we establish what the chain of transmission is because if you can find that, you can give more people information and give them reassurance of who is and is not at risk and put in place a plan so it does not happen again cordon sanitaire. i suppose the other element to this is all about the implementation as well. speaking to the mp they‘re talking about the effect on mental health, the effect on then seeing other people elsewhere in the country that are not facing the same lockdown measures as you , not facing the same lockdown measures as you, all that i suppose is taken into account as well when you are talking about what to do in these specific areas. absolutely. this is all about compliance and having people onside and there is only so much you can ask people to do before people begin to repel. quite frankly we all fed up with this and we want our lives back and asking people to go back to square one is going to be an enormous psychological debt for them but at the same time if they can shown what the same time if they can shown what the plan is, what the end point is, what the measures are at which point you say there we go, this proves we dealt with it, it will give people information and reassurance because it will not go on forever and they can see where they are starting and ending but crucially we have to have a good testing process here and make sure that people can access tests and be isolated complete and that will break the chain of transmission andi will break the chain of transmission and i think people understand that. doctor chris smith, really good to speak to you this morning. that is doctor chris smith speaking about the potential localised lockdown which may happen in leicester where there has been a spike in cases. we do know that today of course should be the start of tennis at wimbledon. but it is not going to start because of course of coronavirus. but still, we have sent carol that you have a look around because it still looks ready to go, everything is prepared, isn‘t it? ready to go, everything is prepared, isn t it? it certainly does. it would have been the 13ath championships but instead it will ta ke championships but instead it will take place next year. you can see from the panoramic shot we have gone past centre court and this is court number one and we are onto henman hill. it is empty here at wimbledon at the moment, of course it would be at the moment, of course it would be at this time of day anyway apart from the staff netting ready for the day‘s play in normal years, and getting ready for the courts preparing for the day in normal yea rs preparing for the day in normal years and preparing those courts. if you had a ticket for this year it has been refunded so next year you have the option to buy the same ticket for the same day if you so desire. it is fairly blustery here this morning and chile as well and in fact the forecast for all of us todayis in fact the forecast for all of us today is a blustery one and also some rain in the forecast so a lot of rain through the course of the weekend, particularly across parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england and this morning there is still a flood warning in fourth for the keswick area. low pressure has been driving the weather and it will again today, centred across parts of scotland and if you look at all of the isobars around it, it shows how blustery it is and where we have the rain. northern half of the country sees that rain, some of it heavy. further south, drier and brighter conditions and the south east is seeing some sunshine but it will be on and off as we go through the day with the cloud cover coming across. through the afternoon the rain will ease off but there will be showers and some could prove to be heavy and thundery. take your umbrella if you are heading out. gusty winds, gusting like yesterday, up to about a0 miles an hour widely, with height and exposure it will be higher than that. temperatures lopar for this time of year, looking at roughly 12-15 in time of year, looking at roughly 12 15 in the north but as we come further south, 19. below par. the temperature but whetherfront pushes into the season things required in and the wind will ease but it will be breezy north east scotland, drier, cloudy tonight with one or two showers. temperatures for most staying in double figures. tomorrow then, the next area of low pressure starts to come in from the atla ntic pressure starts to come in from the atlantic so tomorrow across southern areas, afair atlantic so tomorrow across southern areas, a fair bit of cloud, some drizzle, also some showers. further north, writer than today and drier than today, still some showers and temperatures will increase by a degree or two. heading on into wednesday, for most, again, dry with some bright and sunny spells and some bright and sunny spells and some showers but in the south, we do have a whether front which is coming up have a whether front which is coming up from the english channel. it has a wave on it so just how far north it gets is still open to question but it will bring some rain. temperatures again closer to where they should be, at this time of year. that is how it is looking, u nsettled year. that is how it is looking, unsettled this week, it may not be until the end of next week that we start to see something a bit more settled. lou and dan. thank you, carol. it is nice to be at wimbledon but strange that there is no tennis this time of year. i know, and as i saidi this time of year. i know, and as i said i am looking forward to noting down what i will watch over the next couple of weeks because lots of it will be on tally, won‘t it? couple of weeks because lots of it will be on tally, won t it? judy murray will be here i think in one hours‘ time talking about how she will try to get people to take up tennis. that is in ten minutes! don‘t come back in one hour, it is in ten minutes! she is probably watching and thinking i will go back to bed! things like golf have been increasingly popular during lockdown but tennis has said they need that boost as well so judy murray will talk about that in ten minutes! not in an hour! carol has been talking about lovely in an hour! carol has been talking a bout lovely flowers in an hour! carol has been talking about lovely flowers this morning and you sent us some of your creations and look at these lovely hanging baskets. bobby in yorkshire has ascent in this one. elaborate and or nate. very striking and beautiful, this one from kristin. vince‘s attempt stretches the meaning. he said he certainly puts a smile on people‘s faces, as it would! how has he managed to do that? it is 29 minutes past seven. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. schools in england are to receive one billion pounds of funding over the next ten years in a programme of major building projects being launched by the prime minister today. that money will be spent on 50 projects, which will start from september next year. he‘s also announcing a further £560 million towards repairing crumbling school buildings. unions say the money is welcome, but is only a fraction of what is needed. from today, high street shops in scotland will be able to open their doors for the first time in three months. it only applies to those with street access, and shoppers will still be encouraged to maintain social distancing and cover their faces. the housing market will also reopen and scottish premiership football clubs can resume contact training. more than 500,000 people worldwide have now lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to johns hopkins university. since the virus emerged in china late last year, there have been more than 10 million cases half of which have been in the us and europe. 0utbreaks are still spreading in many parts of the world, with one million new cases recorded in the last six days. the number of mobile covid 19 testing units in the uk will more than double over coming weeks, with the military staffing coronavirus infections across the united states have passed 2.5 million, with record numbers of cases reported in the states of florida and texas. the surge in cases in southern states comes after businesses were allowed to re open in recent weeks. on saturday, florida reported more than 9,500 new cases. school bells in wales will be ringing for the first time since lockdown began this morning, as pupils begin to make a phased return to the classroom. but it will be a very different experience for children and teachers, with measures put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan reports. after 1a weeks away, today, children in wales will begin returning to the classroom. that it won‘t be school as they are used to knowing it. we have had to dismantle every aspect of education and rebuild it with a covid 19 element to it. from pupils leaving the house in the morning, making sure they have a packed lunch because we have no catering facilities, through transport where buses have been adapted. the fact we can only get eight on the bus at any one time, through the fact that they won‘t be taught in a classroom. one time, through the fact that they won t be taught in a classroom. when we last visited this boy in may, he was enjoying the last few months being homeschooled by dad, jason. but he missed the interaction with other children at school. if you see your friend, other children at school. if you see yourfriend, mum, other children at school. if you see your friend, mum, dad, other children at school. if you see yourfriend, mum, dad, can! other children at school. if you see yourfriend, mum, dad, can i go play with him? evan will be going back for two days over the next three weeks as only a third of pupils will be back at any one time in wales and now that school is back on the cards, he is not quite so sure if he would rather be at home.” cards, he is not quite so sure if he would rather be at home. i don t wa nt to would rather be at home. i don t want to go back to school. it is kind of like i want to but i don‘t wa nt kind of like i want to but i don‘t want to. see your friends, playing foot wall. seeing your teacher. but doing homework at home, there is lots of distractions and stuff but doing in school. easy, no distractions. it will be a phased return for students here in wales just like all the devolved nations of the uk. groups at primary level have only been back for fear of four weeks in england. scottish will reopen on the 11th of august with some continue at home learning and some continue at home learning and some northern i pupils be going back in late august. but for all children of any in late august. but for all children ofany age, in late august. but for all children of any age, school will certainly look, feel and be a completely different learning environment by the next academic year. we will continue to talk about that throughout the programme. we are speaking to the education secretary gavin williams at 8:30 for top we‘re talking about more investment and how it might work going back in september. the gavin williamson. so keir starmer is also going to be here. keir starmer. we will also have judy here. keir starmer. we will also havejudy murray! here. keir starmer. we will also have judy murray! she is coming up ina have judy murray! she is coming up in a couple of minutes time for top i know she is hanging on the line right now but first i will tell you about watford. watford will continue investigations this morning after they had to drop three players for their game against southampton due to what they say was health and saftey reasons. it‘s after a post on social media, which has since been deleted, appeared to show andre gray, nathaniel chalobah and domingos quina at a house party. reports, which manager nigel pearson refused to confirm, say gray held the party at his home which he shares with fiancee leigh anne pinnock from little mix. the club said the players weren‘t included to ensure the safety of those involved in the match. well, they were missed. watford lost 3 1 with 2 goals from danny ings. saints are now all but safe, but watford are just a point above the relegation zone. unsurprisingly their manager wasn‘t keen to talk about his three missing players. i‘m not prepared to make any further comment about that at this point until i have all the information. so it goes without saying that in our own position at the moment, it would be better to have as many people available as possible. today would‘ve been the start of wimbledon and while many of us will be disappointed it is off due the pandemic, not many will be as disappointed as british number one dan evans who‘s in great form. after beating andy murray in the semis, he won the battle of the brits exhibition tournament with a straight sets victory against kyle edmund. he was the only player to win all five matches at the event organised by jamie murray. well for those missing wimbledon the oldest and arguably most prestigious tennis tournament in the world bbc sport will continue to bring the sport to fans with over 50 hours of programming, including a 2 part documentary about the career of andy murray. we are keeping it in the family. we‘re joined this morning by his mum, judy. with mixed emotions this morning, you must be very proud ofjamie with what he has achieved with battle of the brick but normally you and i would be shearling aspect cheering on top of the hill! battle of the brits. yes. that gave the fans something to watch. brought in lots of innovation. i didn‘t have so much stress, i enjoyed watching it. mr tennis at wimbledon. did we get a glimpse of the future with jamie‘s tournament director and andy doing a bit of coaching on the sidelines? anti‘s coaching career could be finished after that one! not good enough. judy, i will let you know we have a little bit of a technical problem with your sound but we are going to keep on going because i know that one of the reasons we are talking to you today is because at this time of year, the start of wimbledon, we see our tennis courts across the land, we see kids on them, people that haven‘t picked up a racket for a long time perhaps returning to the game. how are you going to try and get people back into tennis and reignite that enthusiasm without wimbledon being on the television all day for a fortnight? well, i think tennis has beenin fortnight? well, i think tennis has been ina fortnight? well, i think tennis has been in a really good position because it was one of the first sports to open up in the lockdown so everybody will be desperate to get home and do something so we have an opportunity to capture, i think, many going into the game and bring people back to the game which may have lapsed but families in particular because families have gotten used to playing together. it isa gotten used to playing together. it is a chance to bring families into clu bs is a chance to bring families into clubs and parks. a couple of campaigns to offer clubs and parks free online systems to help them manage the demand and encourage them to open up their facilities to nonmembers and i think for parks especially, people are not going to rock up just to try something new so i think for parks to open up free of charge is really important, but it is also not just charge is really important, but it is also notjust the charge is really important, but it is also not just the facility, charge is really important, but it is also notjust the facility, you have got to learn how to play the game and it is a pretty difficult sport compared to some say things that you can do at home, back to tennis programmes, sporty exercises and ten games that can be played at home or done at clubs or parks to get people started. so even if you don‘t have a racket, strokes, things that you can do in small spaces and if you don‘t have a racket, you could always make one. you can do it inside with a balloon. i think it is making sport doable. making it fun and making it accessible and affordable for everybody.” and making it accessible and affordable for everybody. i guess the message is, don‘t be intimidated if you haven‘t got a tennis racket or can‘t i want to because i know they are sold out in lots of the shops. can‘t afford it. think around it and try and do something a bit more unusual. absolutely. there has been some great innovation. my innovation is the paper plate with a wooden spoon. i absolutely love it, judy. it is it disappointing that wimbledon won‘t be happening this year. the first time that wimbledon has been cancelled since world war i! so we have been very privileged to have the tournament year after year. looking ahead with the us open due to be played at the end of august, do you think tennis has the right amount of rules in place for that to happen safely? i‘m thinking of what has happened with novak djokovic‘s tournament recently and several people testing positive for covid 19 after that. other right rules in place now? well, i think we would expect the us open to have researched every possible scenario that they can. they are desperate for these events to go ahead. it has got to be safe for everybody and i think having watched what jamie had to put in place for battle of the brits to make it safe forjust 1a players and a small amount of people running it, it was quite an incredible effort. from the testing to the individualised player pods and player lounges and so forth. it was really and of course this would bea was really and of course this would be a big event and with all the different restrictions on life in and out of the different countries and out of the different countries and the quarantine restriction, everybody is at a different stage of their comeback pendant on what country you come from so for there to bea country you come from so for there to be a level playing field, that is a challenge as well. but it is a massive organisation that goes into the us open and they will have researched everything that they possibly can. you can‘t make any guarantees and my feeling is that it is an opportunity to develop tennis at local and domestic level. smaller. wait until it is safe for eve ryo ne smaller. wait until it is safe for everyone stop i think they will be a lot of people, notjust players, who would want who wouldn‘t want to travel so let us wait and see, there is still a couple of months to go. judy, it is fantastic to talk to you this morning to stop a love of the paper plate. best idea i have seen so far. judy murray, thank you very much indeed. i think ithinki i think i have been a little bit inspired. going to be on the tennis court this week. you go for it, sally! see you later on. the full list of countries which will no longer be subject to coronavirus restrictions is expected to be confirmed by the government this week. it‘s likely to include spain, which is the number one destination for uk holiday makers. 0ur europe correspondent damian grammaticasjoins us now, from torremolinos in southern spain. it looks absolutely lovely. you can see why people want to go on holiday. how has it been working in spain with social distancing and making it safe? yeah, you can see it is lovely. sunshine every day. they just are not the tourists here yet. if you look at this. take a look at the beach here now. you can perhaps see from the sunbeds, the sunbeds have been spaced apart so they are ready for the tourists to come when the announcement comes. they are a couple of metres apart each and when people come down to the beach when those arrivals, if those arrivals, start coming, they will have to keep a distance, there will be wardens on the beach telling them to keep apart. when you are on the streets behind and anywhere you go in a public place, shop or anything, you have to wear a face masks, that is mandatory. if you cannot keep a separation in spain, you could be fined 100 euros. many hotels are closed waiting for flights to return but there are limited numbers of people allowed in swimming pools, in the rooms which are all being sanitised, and stripped bare of anything that can be touched and to transmit the virus. so a lot of procedures in place. what there is not in place is the tourists and what they are waiting for is the green light for those quarantine restrictions in the uk to be lifted because this place, it had 10 million visitors along just this cpsta del sol stretch. costa del sol. will they welcome british tourists? with open arms! you talk tourists? with open arms! you talk to the business people there and they are desperate for british tourists to come back. their business at the moment is way down and they say that it is the foreign tourists who come that they rely on at this time of year. the foreign tourists that spend the money here, much more than spanish tourists, so they are desperate for arrivals, really hoping for them, and saying that they are very, very keen to see things start up but it would could ta ke things start up but it would could take a couple of minutes was of the advice is no overseas travel unless thatis advice is no overseas travel unless that is essential, at the moment, and that has to change was not we are expecting details later this week. the lady taking a dog for a walk on the beach. how wonderful. lockdown has been difficult for many of us, but for some people it has also provided some relief. some people with facial markings say staying at home has actually provided respite from stares and insensitive comments. but as restrictions ease, going back into the world can present new challenges, as breakfast‘s graham satchell reports. school was pretty horrendous. bullying at school was relentless. pretty much every day, i would get shouted names across the playground, ridiculed in class. i have been attacked physically, verbally attacked because of the way i looked. physically attacked? physically attacked, yeah. yeah. what happened ? just some guys come over and were taking the mickey and just started pushing and shoving me about. phil‘s birthmark covers a third of his face. he‘s had a lifetime of stares, whispers and abuse. i got to a point about 10 years ago where i just didn‘t want to be stared at anymore, i didn‘t want go out, i didn‘t want that, so lockdown has given me the freedom to stay at home and not go out but, like you say, it can be a bit dangerous because at some point, you have to go back out into society and face it all over again. in glasgow, jude has also been abused for the way she looks. she has psoriasis a skin condition. lockdown has brought back some uncomfortable memories. i remember days when i was younger where i didn‘t leave the house unless necessary, because i was ashamed of how i looked. i could not handle the stares, i couldn‘t handle the comments. and i almost, even if people weren‘t staring or commenting, i felt like they were. so for me, lockdown felt very familiar that way. and it meant i spent 52 over 52 days in the house by myself, and it was really it felt easy because i‘ve done it before almost. this is a campaign video by the charity changing faces. more than a million people in the uk have a visible difference. many are used to hiding themselves away. people with visible difference experience this daily grind so the stares, the comments, the pointing. so because of that, for some people, lockdown has almost been the easy part. it‘s a relief not to have to go out into the world and experience that every day. so what people are saying is it‘s not necessarily lockdown that‘s been hard although, of course, it has been for some but it‘s looking ahead and saying how will i prepare myself for the world again and what i know is coming when i‘ve had a break for some time? over the years, jude has developed a series of coping mechanisms, but is worried as we leave lockdown they may not work. i usually try and, you know, take the awkwardness away with a smile which is a nice, human thing to do but, you know, with us coming out of lockdown and the need to wear masks, that initial human interaction is kind of taken away so i do worry that those stares and, you know, whispers are going to become more because you can‘t kind of disarm it with a friendly, it‘s ok smile. phil is also worried. it‘s taken him years to come to terms with how he looks, to be comfortable in his own skin. only the other day, i was in sainsbury‘s and a little girl was looking at me and i smiled which is one of my coping mechanisms and she kept staring and i kept smiling. and in the end, ijust stopped because she said what‘s that on yourface? i said well, it‘s a birthmark. i was born with it. doesn‘t hurt it‘s just the colour of my skin. and that is the first time that i‘ve had that conversation with a child where i‘ve not had that churning in my stomach and that real sort of feeling of embarrassment. so it‘s taken 53 years to come to that point it was literally two weeks ago that happened. what both phil and jude want as life returns to a new normal is some understanding and acceptance. what i want you to do is to smile and say hello and talk to me normally. that‘s what we want. we just we want normality. just because my skin‘s a different colour doesn‘t mean to say i‘m going to do anything differently than you might do. i still enjoy my gardening, stroking my cat, watching telly, riding my pushbike. i‘m just a normal bloke. many thanks to phil and jude for talking to us. the photographer rankin has taken the pictures of some of the world‘s biggest stars but during lockdown, he‘s turned his attention to some less famous faces. he‘s been focussing on the everyday heroes of the nhs in an exhibition that will be going on display all over the country. let‘s take a look at some of the portraits. we arejoined by rankin and also by ade williams, an nhs pharmacist who took part in the project. ade looks like he is at work already this morning. lovely to talk to you both so we will talk to rankin first, i imagine when you got approached or being involved in a project like this at a time like this you jumped at the chance? actually, it was my original idea because when i was in lockdown for the first couple of weeks, i was thinking i m stuck here, doing nothing and i want to help, and i we nt nothing and i want to help, and i went to the nhs with the idea and said i m happy to pro bono, i will get out there and take is. it took about five weeks to sort out and when i went out he was extraordinary to meet these people and they are incredible. i will come to the photo shoot in a minute but talking to ade, ido shoot in a minute but talking to ade, i do not know if you were told but you are photographed by a world famous but you are photographed by a world famous photographer who has photographed the queen. what was it like? good morning! for somebody who kind of values the fact that as an nhs professional you are part of a team, it is kind of narcissistic ideal as well, it is uncomfortable told that but when you start to understand what is behind the project, one of the things they got my attention was why rankin wanted to do this. and it was really to tell the story of the people in the nhs which particularly those who are not front line professionals, you know, like laura, like my colleagues in the pharmacy delivery, drivers, these are the people in your community and these other people that make the difference, collectively, together. ithink that make the difference, collectively, together. i think that is what got my attention as something worth doing. ade, we are seeing your picture now on a billboard and you have your arms behind your back, took us through the process of the photo shoot. what was it like? one of the things that is commendable about it was the attention to detail. also, for those who have ever taken part in a photo shoot, it is a few minutes in between two roles that i had, no make up, just as i was to have a picture taken but in a socially distanced and safe manner and i think one of the things that rankin we re really think one of the things that rankin were really keen to do was to say the lens was medium for a story and it was not about me, it was not about them but it was about the nhs and the idea of community and how we asa and the idea of community and how we as a nation have rallied around those ideals and both people, the diversity of roles and individuals and how do we tell that? i have not seena and how do we tell that? i have not seen a real portrait yet or a real billboard yet but from the mockups i saw, i billboard yet but from the mockups i saw, lam impressed how well you have been able to capture that. we have been able to capture that. we have seen it and you will have to rewind and look at bbc breakfast on your iplayer because looks fabulous. how important was you rankin to know these stories behind the people you are photographing and how important is that to the photo? absolutely, it is that to the photo? absolutely, it is essential to talk to the people you are photographing and no where they are coming from and what they are about so we did not want to take up are about so we did not want to take up too much of people s time to be had an hour with everyone and i spent 30 minutes chatting away and asking what they had been up to and each of those stories was inspiring, really incredible, and really, you know, every single one of them said this isjust myjob and this is what ido and this isjust myjob and this is what i do and if this isjust myjob and this is what ido and if! this isjust myjob and this is what i do and if i said to them you are a hero they would say they are not and the humility is incredible. rankin, did you think about doing something with ppe on or was it always going to be being able to see people‘s faces ? to be being able to see people‘s fa ces ? fa ces to be being able to see people‘s faces? faces behind the heroes, if you like. yeah, i mean, the original idea was the faces behind the heroes and there were so many great photographs up there with ppe, showing how difficult their lives are facing the virus so i wanted to get behind the ppe and see the eyes and see the humanity and when you ta ke and see the humanity and when you take a photograph of a celebrity or a nurse, take a photograph of a celebrity or a nurse , you take a photograph of a celebrity or a nurse, you get the humanity so i thought they were too simple sometimes but in the end it turned out very well. they look fabulous, ade, you strike me as being very modest so how will you cope when you drive past a bus stop and there is a massive billboard of you?” drive past a bus stop and there is a massive billboard of you? i think the thing that has given me the most sleepless nights is actually trying to cope with that. because i am part ofa team, to cope with that. because i am part of a team, the community pharmacy profession is part of the nhs and we are not usually the ones that are at any point in the spotlight. during the last few weeks people have been givena the last few weeks people have been given a better understanding of us but really, we want to take care of our community and the joy for me at the moment is to see my patients who have not seen for the last few months step back in and i know that they are well and they have coped and we have work to do to help them, to be resilient and stay healthy, and that is what gives me satisfaction so this is going to be very uncomfortable but i also know this is my kind of way of coping, dedicating it to those nhs colleagues who unfortunately have not been able to go back to their families as we come to this stage of this pandemic. and to say to them, to the country, the community, the profession and they really appreciate those sacrifices and i am simply someone who is representing the sacrifice of a loved one that is their memory but it will now be a memory that is shared across the country. ade, thank you for speaking to us and talking to you today, i think the picture that people see now will mean a lot more when they have heard about the person behind the pit and rankin, think you for coming on and telling us about this project. person behind the picture. carol is there with the weather for us this morning. there is no tennis but there is carol and she can tell us about the weather. morning! good morning! last year, over half a million spectators came to watch wimbledon fortnight and she would see them running up here, moving quickly to get onto henman hill to secure the best spot for the viewing. that is because if you are looking over at some of the screens here on court number one and watching the tennis. you can see court number one and centre court behind me and as you said rizzo championships taking place at wimbledon this year but some of the spectators and club members are still playing here and more especially the club members, not on every single court of course and they never get to play on centre court or court number one anyway but with one exception, and that is just before wimbledon starts, it is the ladies set to warm up centre court for example so it must be a huge thrill. the weather is not thrilling today, the forecast is a blustery one with some rain. you will find as we go through the day is the rain in the north will ease and turn more showery. we have got it because low pressure has been dominating the weather as we have gone through the course of the weekend, reducing a lot of heavy rain across parts of scotland, northern ireland and also northern england. in fact, flood warning is still out for the keswick area. lots of isobars around that low pressure indicating gusty winds, wherever you are, the rain in the north is turning more showery through the course of the day but some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. further south, some of the showers could be heavy and thundery. furthersouth, looking at drier conditions, still a lot of cloud around, the best of the sunshine will be in the south east but even here through the course of the day there will be cloud coming and going. talking of gusty winds, dusty through the course of the weekend and today again widely, looking at 35 a0 miles an hour. with exposure, it will be more than that. temperatures as a result, well, not great to start with. add on that wind and it feels chilly, it is chilly here at wimbledon this morning. heading on through the evening into overnight, the low pressure d rifts into evening into overnight, the low pressure drifts into the north sea, still breezy across scotland, but for most it will be a dry night and fairly cloudy, or to showers. temperatures in double figures. another area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic for tomorrow so for tomorrow, we have a weather front draped across southern england which will be producing a lot of cloud, some showers and some drizzle, and north of it, a brighter day than today. still a fair bit of cloud around mind you and still some showers which could be heavy. but temperatures up a touch on what we saw today. into wednesday, a weather front which will be in the english channel move north, waving which means the northern area is still open to question but it will bring rain in across southern counties as it pushes northward. north of that again, to conditions with some showers and temperatures, well, around about where they should be writer conditions. that is it from me for now. the headlines are coming up me for now. the headlines are coming up brighter. good morning, welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: a billion pounds to rebuild dilapidated schools in england and millions more for repairs. but critics say it‘s a fraction of what‘s needed. we‘ll speak to the education secretary gavin williamson in half an hour. air bridges or travel corridors to allow us to go on holiday abroad are set to be confirmed by the government later today. good morning. empty departure holes in airports but for how long? the travel companies have recorded a spike in bookings over the weekend but can your holiday definitely go ahead and will you be insured? should a local lockdown be introduced in leicester? there has been a spike in coronavirus cases there in the past two weeks. it‘s monday 29th june. our top story: schools in england are to receive £1 billion of funding over the next ten years in a programme of major building projects being launched by the prime minister today. he is also announcing a further £560 million towards repairing school buildings this financial year. unions say the money is welcome, but is only a fraction of what is needed. here‘s our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. some school buildings in england are in a shocking state. now, a promise of money for rebuilding. plans for more than £1 billion over ten years that stretches beyond the next election. the first few should start next year, with 50 projects getting approval this autumn. what we know from the national audit 0ffice three years ago is that £6.7 billion was needed then, three years ago, to restore the school and college estate. this £1 billion announcement i think is welcome but clearly there‘s a lot to do to make amends for the last ten years of underinvestment in education. the extra cash for repairs will make a difference first. £560 million more for next year, an increase of about a third on the repairs budget. but still, nowhere near the almost £7 billion needed the true cost of getting england‘s school buildings to an acceptable standard. branwen jeffreys, bbc news. we‘re joined now by our political correspondent helen catt. helen, this is part of a wider plan to kick start the economy, isn‘t it? yes, it is. downing street talking about a building boom, trying to build big things quickly to try and help the economy recover after coronavirus. you heard there, for example, the government wants the first of these projects, the school building projects, to start in 2021. it is setting up a infrastructure task force to work out how it can speed up big projects like schools, hospitals and roads. it is also hoped it will boostjobs because thatis hoped it will boostjobs because that is a huge concern after this first part of the coronavirus pandemic, is what will happen with people‘s jobs. 0ver pandemic, is what will happen with people‘s jobs. over the weekend, pandemic, is what will happen with people‘sjobs. over the weekend, the labour party released an analysis suggesting we could see levels of unemployment that we haven‘t seen since the 19805 if the right things aren‘t done. this is all part of that. however, this isn‘t aren‘t done. this is all part of that. however, this i5n‘tju5t a response to the coronavirus pandemic. if you think back to the election la5t pandemic. if you think back to the election last year, the conservatives big pitch was an idea of levelling up, trying to equalise chance5 of levelling up, trying to equalise chances for people across the country and a lot of that, education huge part of that, but a part of thatis huge part of that, but a part of that is investing in infrastructure project5 that is investing in infrastructure projects across the country. so this i5a projects across the country. so this is a return to that. there will be a lot of scrutiny on the government as to whether it can deliver that but we‘re certainly going to hear a lot more about this idea, infrastructure investment over the week. bori5 john5on investment over the week. bori5 johnson is due to make a speech tomorrow, setting out how he plans tomorrow, setting out how he plans to get the economy to recover after coronavirus. thank you. we will be speaking to gavin williamson just after 8:30 and sir keir starmer at 8:a0. if you want questions, get in touch. hundreds on education and schools and what happens in september, all sorts of things are gavin williamson. we will get through those in about 25 minutes. wales is reopening all of its schools from today for the first time since the lockdown restrictions came into force in march. pupils will be able to return for limited periods during the week, but only a third will be allowed into school at any time. new measures will also be put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. from today, high street shops in scotland will be able to open their doors for the first time in three months. it only applies to those with street access, and shoppers will still be encouraged to maintain social distancing and cover theirfaces. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in glasgow this morning. good morning, what is happening? good morning, what is happening? good morning. shops are getting ready to reopen. some have already opened up their doors again. big queue outside prime out in the centre of glasgow. hundreds of people here. the people at the front of the queue told me they have been here since 5:30. it snakes all around the block. what time did you get here this morning? about 7:45. why? to go to primark. what you want to get? some stuff for a trip. shops have opened a little later in scotla nd have opened a little later in scotland to drive down the rate of the virus, what is your thought on that? i think it s good. the virus, what is your thought on that? ithink it s good. it the virus, what is your thought on that? i think it s good. it really helps out with the coronavirus but it s really bad for the economy. the advice is you wear masks inside. have you got masks with you today?” don t, actually, i don t have one but she does. its guidance and it is about keeping the two metre distance will stop you have a mask? yes. what you are planning to get? clothes. so it is the high street but not as we know it. thank you both very much. there are still strict to me to distancing rules here in scotland. you can see the lines on the ground. people are being counted in and out of many shops. i think you will see a lot of shops in the high street like the centre of glasgow reopen. some other areas might be more phased in their reopening, seeing how consumer confidence, how quickly that returns. the advice is to wear masks inside shops if at all possible. 0ther masks inside shops if at all possible. other big qualification to the reopening of shops here in scotla nd the reopening of shops here in scotland is there is still five mile travel advisory in place, so it really is shop local. thank you very much for that. we have also been live at wimbledon this morning, lovely weather. a bit wet in scotla nd lovely weather. a bit wet in scotland but it hasn‘t put people off queueing to go into primark. we will be back there later. government officials will meet the mayor of leicester later this morning to discuss how to deal with a spike in coronavirus cases in the city. yesterday, the home secretary, priti patel, suggested the first local lockdown could be imposed in the city. 0ur reporter navtej johal is there for us now. tell us about this. this has been a spike, how are they going to do with it? figures show there have been more than 650 cases of coronavirus recorded in the first half ofjune here in leicester which accounts for roughly a quarter of the total number of cases. and in recent days, we have seen several schools having to close because of cases, local businesses have been affected also. and yesterday, priti patel, the home secretary, said a localised lockdown, the first of its kind potential in the uk, is something the government was considering here in leicester. that in the last hour orso, in leicester. that in the last hour or so, the mayor of leicester has said that the advice he has received from government officials is not to impose further restrictions are here in leicester but instead to keep the current restrictions in place for an extra two weeks, which would mean the likes of bars, cafe and restau ra nts the likes of bars, cafe and restaurants would not be reopening for another two weeks from the ath ofjuly, which would have a big impact on those businesses. but we are expecting potentially to have more answers later today. there is a virtual meeting taking place between the mayor, public health england and the mayor, public health england and the department of health officials and we are hoping that might provide some more clarity for people in leicester, who of course are desperate to find out what‘s happening and what the next stage of any localised lockdown or restrictions in terms of their reopening is going to be. thank you very much indeed. more than 500,000 people worldwide have now lost their lives as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, according to johns hopkins university. since the virus emerged in china late last year, there have been more than 10 million cases half of which have been in the us and europe. 0utbreaks are still spreading in many parts of the world, with one million new cases recorded in the last six days. four gunmen have been killed by police in the pakistani city of karachi after they tried to enter the stock exchange building. the assailants stormed the building after launching a grenade attack at the main gate. latest reports quote police saying they have killed all four heavily armed gunmen and are combing the building. according to police, several people have been killed including police officers, private guards and attackers. do you remember earlier on i said i was going to read you about chris 0‘dowd? go on then. he has revealed an unusual technique used as a young actor to try make sure he would be memorable during auditions. the idea was that he would lie about the fact he had been bitten by a dog in the audition. because so many people going for the same so he would my ankle hurts a bit, i‘ve been bitten by dogs. it caught up with him. he said, he mentioned it in it in again in another audition and he said oh no, that‘s so weird, last time you came here you are also bitten by a dog. then he had to try and stylet out by saying, i know, i‘m so u nfortu nate, out by saying, i know, i‘m so unfortunate, double dog bite. that‘s why it‘s important if you tell a lie remember who you‘ve told it to. 0r don‘t tell it in the first place! that is the important bit! after three months of being unable to travel abroad, the government is expected to reveal this week where we could go on holiday without having to isolate when we come back. countries will be given a green, amber or red status depending on how safe they are. travel companies saw a boom in bookings following the announcement made last week. we‘re joined now by the managing director of tui uk and ireland, andrew flintham, along with travel journalist, alison rice. good morning to both, lovely to speak to you both on breakfast. alison, you have a lovely big smile on yourface this alison, you have a lovely big smile on your face this morning. how excited are you by the potential of this happening and what difference could it make to people? it will certainly make a difference for eve ryo ne certainly make a difference for everyone who has been hankering, stuck in lockdown, waiting for their summer holiday abroad. but it will make a huge difference to the travel industry, who have been sending out an soss to the government, save our summer. because some smaller companies are just hanging summer. because some smaller companies arejust hanging on by their fingertips. companies arejust hanging on by theirfingertips. if companies arejust hanging on by their fingertips. if they can‘t sell holidays this summer, i think there will be quite a few hotels, possibly even an airline, certainly some smaller package holiday companies that won‘t be here next year. and it‘s not just that won‘t be here next year. and it‘s notjust aviation in the hotels and the travel agents and the tour operators, it‘s also the little tavernas, the cafe is, the man who rents you your boat for a day out on the greek island. they are all suffering as well. so long as we do get news this week that certain of our favourite holiday destinations are green to go, then it is very good news, for those who want to ta ke good news, for those who want to take the chance to travel abroad. andrew, from the point of view of tui, how much difference is this going to make to you, a little certainty? it makes a huge difference. i think alison touched on the really important point, the fa ct on the really important point, the fact customers do really want to go on holiday and as soon as we see any positive news about them going on holiday, we see that interest, we see that spike in bookings. to give you some idea, the traffic to our website since there has been some positive news about the air bridges have been up around 30%, which is a really big movement. what we have seenin really big movement. what we have seen in terms of sales, you had friday s sales versus the week before, doubled. and our saturday sales were four times the previous saturday, which is really positive. i have to say, these are levels much lower than we would normally be selling at this time of year that it is really good news. i think the other point that is really important is we need to see the list of where we can go. so hopefully on wednesday this will come out. that is really important for us, to be able to plan our programme and make sure we can ta ke our programme and make sure we can take those customers there and also for our customers, so they know what opportunities there are two travel. in terms of what alison said about the impact on the industry and businesses like yourselves struggling with what has been happening over the last few months, how big a boost with this be for you and others in that similar position? i think it is a huge boost. the industry, in its wider sense, our revenues had stopped. we are all big expensive businesses to run. we have aircraft, we have huge amounts of employees. all that revenue has stopped. when the revenue stops, our businesses are in a difficult position. travel is a bit of a confidence gain, if people think they can travel, we start to see bookings and we start to get some revenue and that is what we need. we need this restart, we need to get going. when we get going, we will start to see the travel industry coming back from hibernation and coming back from hibernation and coming back from hibernation and coming back to life. alison, i don t wa nt to coming back to life. alison, i don t want to bring down here because eve ryo ne want to bring down here because everyone is looking forward to their holidays. but lots of people have missed out on holidays already. lots of people may feel concerned. 0ur people insured, how will it work? that is the question i will try and a nswer that is the question i will try and answer but i have no definitive answer. when the pandemic broke, back in march, a lot of insurance companies stopped selling travel insurance. they are coming back onto the market now. but it is one of those tedious jobs you really have to read the small print as to whether or not you will get any sort of cover should you get the virus and have to cancel your holiday or should you catch it abroad. it‘s difficult one. my advice would be the cheaper travel insurance policies probably won‘t cover you. the really difficult one is if you are having reservations about travelling abroad but your holiday goes ahead but you cancel because you don‘t want that experience at the airport, the airline and the destination, you know, with all the new regulations. if you choose to cancel, you won‘t get your money back. the only thing ican get your money back. the only thing i can say is we are still in the eu, so you can get a free e111 card which entitles you to the state provided health care that the citizens in european countries get, should they be ill. it doesn‘t replace travel insurance at all but it is worth getting it. if you go on the website and they want to charge you for that card it is a scam, it‘s free. go on the nhs website to get it. but it doesn‘t cover travel insurance. i think if you took out annual travel insurance, say back in january and february, you would be covered. but anyone who took one out as soon as the pandemic started really needs to read the small print. andrew, can i ask you from a tui point of view, if you have taken a whole lot of holiday makers to a country, suddenly there was a spark there and a problem, what would you do? would you be able to return them to the uk, how would it work? we will follow whatever the local health advice is. i think the difference from when there is pandemic started to where we are now is clearly every national government understands it and we understand the science and have plans in place to respond when incidences will occur. so. however, we are a very large organisation. the great thing tui has a sweet own hotels and aircraft, we will be able to bring customers home. we repatriated over 45,000 customers when the pandemic broke the first time. clearly we have the resources to be able to look after our customers. alison, lots of questions from people, we were live in the algarve with a couple who own a resta u ra nt in the algarve with a couple who own a restaurant this morning. places like portugal currently not on the list but there are many people out there taking a chance, booking those holidays and hoping the situation will change in the coming weeks and months? yes, portugal is a really sad one. i think it possibly won‘t be on the list because they have had a spike of cases in lisbon, lovely city, lisbon! buti a spike of cases in lisbon, lovely city, lisbon! but i think that might change. in fact, city, lisbon! but i think that might change. infact, portugal, back in april, was one of the first countries to offer its tourism companies the chance to go for a clea n companies the chance to go for a clean and safe certificate for tourism businesses. it‘s a superb country, very popular with the british. as long as the spike in lisbon is managed, i don‘t know for certain, but it looks like portugal could well come back. the traffic light system, it would get a green light system, it would get a green light which means we could go out there without quarantining when we came home. andrew, really briefly, we talked about so many other companies who have been very badly affected. is tui safe? we are a big business. we have been out and secured liquidity to make sure our businesses and a great place to be going forward. clearly, the second travel restart helps us all. we will be here for the long term in the future. thank you both. great book shelves, i have to say that! they both look like they are full of travel books. they are intriguing, alison has so many, she has had to pile them up on a desk behind her! thanks very much. we are talking to the education secretary, talking about england, gavin williamson, in a few minutes‘ time. school bells in wales will be ringing for the first time since lockdown began this morning, as pupils begin to make a phased return to the classroom. but it will be a very different experience for children and teachers, with measures put in place to stop the spread of the coronavirus. 0ur wales correspondent tomos morgan is at a primary school in cardiff this morning. it looks like they might be having some lessons in a marquee? good morning. that is exactly what will happen here at this primary school in cardiff. same but different is how they have been marketing this new school experience. as you can see, the classroom are all set up here outside. as we have a look around, we have six or seven different bubbles for the different year groups that will be having their new learning experience outside over the next three weeks in wales. every pupil in the school will be coming to school at lease one day a week for the next three weeks before they start the summer recess and they start again in september. a completely different learning experience and it‘s been quite a task for you, giles parker, deputy head? it has, we have faced some challenges but they have been exciting challenges and it s lovely to welcome our children back into school today. learning outside, to welcome our children back into schooltoday. learning outside, i imagine it will be an exciting experience for the children. i know for a fact that my young child, he just wants to be playing outside. is there a danger about the concentration levels learning outside? we are an outdoor learning school anyway. we want to make a space for our children to come back. we we re space for our children to come back. we were struggling with space inside and wanted to open up our school ground. each year group has its own area and our focus is on the well being of area and our focus is on the well being of our pupils coming back, we want to make sure they feel happy with their friends, usual teachers. you are quite unique here because you have the largest amount of key worker children of any of the other primary schools in cardiff. how has that made things a bit more tricky for you? we needed to create this outdoor learning village. we have over 80 children coming back from our key workers. that s been difficult because of the capacity within the school, trying to make sure we make sure we see all the other children coming back as well has been a challenge. but we have had great support from community. 0ur parents have been on board. my staff have been fantastic in setting up staff have been fantastic in setting up the provision you can see today. you have dark clouds this morning, what will happen if it starts raining? we are a school in wales so we always plan for the wet weather! we have contingencies across the school. every outdoor learning part has an area inside with separate toilets. it s all colour schemes. all the children have a safe space to learn in and just enjoyed being backin to learn in and just enjoyed being back in school, back in routine and seeing their friends. and contingency plan for september?- the moment, depending on how many key workers we have in september, we will have different parts of the school, different parts of the key workers and learning. we would love to keep this all year but the weather in wales doesn t always enable us to do this! we want to create a sense of belonging where the children feel at home, somewhere same but different for them. brilliant, thank you. most schools are reopening in wales. they won‘t be reopening on the isle of anglesey after an outbreak there at a chicken factory last week. one other thing to mention that we might be hearing early this week by the welsh government is that bubbles might be created in wales. people from two different households may be able to meet inside. that is the other major announcement we hope to hear at some point this week in wales. but for the moment, schools returning and a very different learning experience for now. indeed, tomos morgan, thank you. i like the idea of an outdoor lesson in a marquee! unless it‘s really cold! get your big coat on, it will be fine. you will need your big coat. carol can tell us. she is at wimbledon which should have been starting today but it isn‘t but she is still there. good morning. good morning. i can tell you you will need your coat, it is pretty chilly in this gusty wind today. in fact, the forecast not just for wimbledon but for us all todayis just for wimbledon but for us all today is one of blustery conditions. there is also some rain as well. the rain predominantly in the northern half of the country. it will ease a touch as we go through the day. the driest conditions are the further south and east. the low pressure that has been with us this weekend is still with us today. if you look at the isobars around it, it tells you that it is is going to be windy, they are quite tightly packed. low pressure still producing rain. but in the south, back in the drier conditions. this morning, it is a nippy start if you are exposed to the wind. we have the rain, some heavy still across parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, parts of wales. through the day, that will tend to ease and turn to showers. further south and east, a lot of cloud but through the day we will see some sunny spells developing as well. feeling nippy if you are in the gusty wind. the gusts similarto you are in the gusty wind. the gusts similar to yesterday, widely 35 a0 miles an hour, with the exposure a bit more than that. temperature is a bit more than that. temperature is a bit disappointing that this time of year and if anything, tempered by the gusty winds. we are looking roughly from 12 in the north to about 19 roughly from 12 in the north to about19 in roughly from 12 in the north to about 19 in the south. through this evening and overnight, the area of low pressure goes to the north sea, leaving a lot of cloud, a few showers and it will not be a particularly cold night. most of us will stay in double figures. a few residual showers before the next area of low pressure starts showing its hand, coming in from the atlantic. tomorrow, across southern counties, afair bit tomorrow, across southern counties, a fair bit of cloud. there will be some rain and showers and also some drizzle. move northwards, we are backin drizzle. move northwards, we are back in to sunnier skies. drier than it will be today but nonetheless, there will still be some showers and some of those will be heavy. temperatures also up a notch on what we are looking at today. then by the time we get wednesday, well, we will still have a lot of dry weather. still a few showers and some of them will still be heavy but there will be some sunshine. in the south, we have a waving weather front in the english channel. it is literally doing that as it moves northwards. still open to question but it will bring in rain from the south, with temperatures closer to where they should be at this time of year. so typical wimbledon weather, even though we don‘t have wimbledon. we have something special for you this morning, though. my lovely friend sue barker hasjoined us. hello! wimbledon wouldn‘t be wimbledon without seeing you here. at least we have something here, even though no tennis. it s lovely to be here. you always asked me a humdinger of questions. here is one for you. i always put the pressure on carol by asking her how the players are doing, like bianca. i like to keep her on her toes now it‘s your turn! like to keep her on her toes now it s your turn! what will the temp temperature be like? cold is all! can say is mcgrath you told me a funny can say is mcgrath you told me a fu n ny story can say is mcgrath you told me a funny story earlier. you said normally the members don‘t get to play on centre court or court number one except one exception and that is the warm up before wimbledon starts. you have done that but you are banned? i was, yes. you have done that but you are banned? iwas, yes. ithink you have done that but you are banned? i was, yes. i think they made a mistake to start with. they we re made a mistake to start with. they were looking for four genteel ladies. i don‘t come into that category! i went out and was playing in the head groundsman walked on court and said i will have to take you off if you continue to scrape your foot when serving. i said i can‘t stop, i‘ve been doing it for 30 years! i tried but in the end he said, you will never be back on here again. that was it, my one and only time! bless you! you are still presenting in the next couple of weeks, tell us a bit about what you are going to be doing. we are going to try make the best of the situation. very sad we have no live tennis. wimbledon has such an incredible history and wonderful magical moments that have happened over the years. we will be reliving so many of them. tonight, even tim will relive his first match on centre court. we will look at back at all the great decades, the great matches and will have live links with players and some of the stars of the game, like tonight we have coco gough, the exciting teenager who i think will be a world number one within a couple of years, even though she is only 16. also, john mcenroe. wimbledon wouldn‘t be wimbledon without him! he will be on. he might have to be serious this evening. also billie jean on. he might have to be serious this evening. also billiejean willjoin us, martina, rafael nadal. so many different players. we will be looking back at some of the people who have change the game. features on people like bjorn borg.” who have change the game. features on people like bjorn borg. i love watching some of the older tennis players during the course of wimbledon is welcome having a match together. that is always funny. they get the ball boys and girls involved in that. always good fun! i know, some of the legends of the game, they always love playing. 0nce some of the legends of the game, they always love playing. once you play tennis, you always want to play it and they love coming back. john mcenroe fits in, he‘s commentating for about five different networks and still manages to play in the seniors as well! you never lose it, you always have that passion for the game. and a special about andy murray? yes, at the weekend we have two days, we will chart his success. what difference he‘s made to british tennis, notjust his two wimbledon titles but two 0lympic tennis, notjust his two wimbledon titles but two olympic gold medals, led britain to davis cup glory as well as being world number one. i think we could probably fill about six weekends but we‘re just going to do it in two days on the saturday and sunday. and on the finals weekend, we will have all the top ten that have been voted for by our esteemed commentators, the top ten ladies finals and then on sunday the men‘s. so much to look forward to. lots to look forward to! you didn‘t do so badly here at wimbledon yourself. how does feel when you are in your dressing room, knowing you are about to go out on court, it‘s a huge match, how do you get yourself in the zone and your heart must be pumping! especially when you are british and you hear the crowd roar as you come in, what is it like? it s as you come in, what is it like? it‘s terrifying, basically! it‘s going to be interesting because i have heather watson and tim on tonight and they made their centre court debuts against top players. i made mine against maria bueno. i was so nervous and it was a time when you had to curtsy to the royal box. i almost ended up on the floor! laughter my laughter my knees buckled and ijust managed to save myself. i completely got annihilated in the first set 6 1 that came back and won the first two. i think if i lost that match, it would have changed my whole relationship with wimbledon but because i won it it was like, i love centre court i want to play here again. we love you, thank you so much forjoining us! what a treat.” feel like it is wimbledon now because you are here, that is great. mac right back at you. and what a great question, thank you. i will look very carefully at the tv schedules and work it out and hope for rain so i can keep watching telly. thank you. you have a good weekend of glastonbury and mountainous to come as well. weekend of glastonbury and mountainous to come as weltm weekend of glastonbury and mountainous to come as well. it is 8:31am and you are watching brea kfast. 8:31am and you are watching breakfast. tennis to come as well. we will be speaking to gavin williamson shortly. we can speak now to the leader of the opposition sir keir starmer. asi as i said, we will speak to gavin williamson shortly. 0n the subject of education, you have been accused by those on the other side of the commons of being unclear about your views on schools. do you think it‘s safe for children to be back at the moment? yeah, there are children backin moment? yeah, there are children back in school and it is safe for them to be there. the question is, how quickly can we get all children back into school safely? i think we could have done it by now had there been some leadership on this from the prime minister. it was obvious from the day that schools were closed what would be needed to get them back open. because most of the problems are practical problems. all the head teachers i have spoken to have said if you have a big school with a lot of space it is possible to do it. if you have a small school with almost no spaces is very difficult. had the government put together a task force or something together a task force or something to bring people together and say what needs to be done, risk assessed every school, if you need temporary classrooms let‘s build them, we put up classrooms let‘s build them, we put up nightingale hospitals which was a good thing, could have put up temporary classrooms or used libraries, community centres which at the moment are empty. the problems are practical and could have been solved. it needed leadership from the top from the prime minister and that has been found wanting here. that‘s the core problem here. the thing the prime minister accused you of, and he said this in the commons, is having the great ox of the education union stood on your tongue when asking you those questions. are the unions focusing too much on teachers rather than pupils? the prime minister is talking absolute nonsense. what he was trying to do was to avoid answering questions himself by asking questions of me. it is an old tactic. but i have said, actually, i wrote to the prime minister weeks before he brought that up in the commons to say i will work with you if you want. this was a confidential letter, by the way, saying let‘s get the unions, local authorities and government departments around the table and get a plan and get on with it and everybody put your shoulder to the wheel. the prime minister didn‘t even respond to me on that. but i have wanted children back in our schools as swiftly as possible andi our schools as swiftly as possible and i have been working towards that so there is no doubt about where i am on this. one more further question on that because i‘d like to talk to you about lots of other things. do you think it would be fine for all children to go back to school in september? 0bviously things can change and there could be further outbreaks and maybe the virus might come back, so i appreciate this is hard to say at this point, but with the abandonment of social distancing in order to get all of those children back in september? i want them all back in september? i want them all back in september and i will work with anybody to that end. this is not about party politics. i get much more about getting our children back into school in september than i do about party politics because i‘m really concerned about children being out of school for months on end and the growing inequalities that that causes. i offered to work with the prime minister before and i will do it again and i will work with anybody, trade unions, local authorities whether they are labour or tory, and i will work with the government over the coming weeks to make sure we get those children back into school in september. i think if the prime minister actually put his shoulder to the wheel on this and worked with other people rather than just trying to blame other people we could make some real progress. you have had to make a change for your own education brief, the shadow education secretary has been moved around a little bit because of the sacking of rebecca long bailey. if she‘d offered a full apology and a full retraction, would she have been able to stay in the post? well, look, when i took over as leader of the labour party i made it clear i would root out anti semitism and actions are important, more important than words. i took the view that the article that rebecca long bailey tweeted about was classic anti semitic in the sense of saying here is something awful that happened in america, point the finger at israel. rebecca didn‘t delete the tweet that she had put up andi delete the tweet that she had put up and i took the action that i did. 0thers and i took the action that i did. others will and i took the action that i did. 0thers willjudge and i took the action that i did. others will judge whether and i took the action that i did. 0thers willjudge whether that was right or wrong. i‘m absolutely clear in my mind it was the right thing to do because i do not want the labour party and anti semitism to be in the same sentence ever again and i need to ta ke same sentence ever again and i need to take clear action in order to achieve that and to rebuild the trust that we need to rebuild with the jewish community. once she had tweeted that there was nothing she could have done to reverse your decision to sack her? is that right? iam not decision to sack her? is that right? i am not going to go into the ins and outs that happened and the discussions that were hard or not had. but i took the view that the state of affairs was unsatisfactory andi state of affairs was unsatisfactory and i asked rebecca to stand down from the shadow cabinet, i took that decision. 0thers from the shadow cabinet, i took that decision. others will from the shadow cabinet, i took that decision. 0thers willjudge. i am clear in my mind that that was the right decision and i am equally clear that i will take whatever action is necessary in the labour party to ensure that we do as i said i would do, and that‘s root out anti semitism. i would do, and that‘s root out anti-semitism. ok. the shadow education minister lloyd russell moyle published of that article which many will have read and which accused jk rowling of using her own sexual assault for justification for discrimination against trans people. he publicly apologised for his comments and has been able to stay in his role. yes, he was wrong, he has apologised, i have accepted that apology. that‘s myjudgment call have accepted that apology. that‘s my judgment call and if have accepted that apology. that‘s myjudgment call and if you lead a political party you have to take decisions and you have to take responsibility for them and that‘s myjudgment call in relation to that case. and as you explained, that s why yourjudgment case. and as you explained, that s why your judgment call came case. and as you explained, that s why yourjudgment call came down to you with rebecca long bailey and you made a different decision on that one? i did and i believe i made the right decision, i stand by it. 0thers right decision, i stand by it. others will form their own view. but i think as people have reflected on it, most people can see why i took the decision and think it was the right thing to do. you have also been very public in your support of black lives matter. we saw the picture recently of you in the office taking the knee. there has been a growing row over the political aims of the moment. 0ne been a growing row over the political aims of the moment. one of thoseis political aims of the moment. one of those is to defund the police. does that concern you? yes, that s nonsense and nobody should be saying anything about defunding the police, andi anything about defunding the police, and i would have no truck with that. i was director of public and is for five years and worked with police forces across england and wales bringing thousands of people to court. so my support for the police is very, very strong and evidenced in the actions, joint actions i have done with the police. there is a broader issue here, the black lives matter movement, or moment if you like internationally, is about reflecting something completely different. it is reflecting on what happened dreadfully in america just a few weeks ago and acknowledging that as a moment across the world and it is a shame it is getting tangled up with these organisational issues with the organisation black lives matter but i wouldn‘t have any truck with what the organisation was saying about defunding the police or anything else, that‘s just saying about defunding the police or anything else, that‘sjust nonsense. something else lots of people have seen over the weekend was the photograph of the prime minister showing us his press ups. in his own words, he talked about being as for as a butcher‘s dog. words, he talked about being as for as a butcher s dog.” words, he talked about being as for as a butcher s dog. i was toying with the idea to prime minister‘s questions this week i should use as my first question to challenge the prime minister is first to 50 but i don‘t know how well that will go down. how many can you do? well, i do quite a lot, actually, but i‘m not going to get into a press up war with the prime minister. maybe question one should be that and you can see who lasts longer. be honest, is one of your aides said to you, you need to work on your press up routine just in case? no, they haven t! we haven t had discussions about that. but i must say the sooner i can go back to five aside football the better. i m sure many people would join you in that. good to talk to you this morning, sir keir starmer, thank you for being on breakfast. schools in england are to receive £1 billion of funding over the next ten years in a programme of rebuilding being launched by the prime minister today. we‘re joined now by education secretary gavin williamson. good morning and thank you for joining us. the national audit 0ffice joining us. the national audit office said in 2017 there was a backlog of £6.7 billion worth of repairs needed. what do you say to critics who say 1 repairs needed. what do you say to critics who say1 billion is not enough? what we are setting out is a spending review which is a ten year plan of rebuilding schools, this is the first part of it, £1 billion, an extra 50 schools going to be rebuilt, and on top of that £560 million extra going into schools this year to do essential maintenance, repair, extensions and improvements to those schools. so this is a really good news. but we accept this is a really good news. but we a cce pt we this is a really good news. but we accept we want to do more and that‘s why we are setting out a ten year plan to really deliver transformative plan to really deliver tra nsformative change and plan to really deliver transformative change and really improving our schools right across the country. we have so many questions for you and i will try and be briefed so we can get through. what is really clear as people, teachers, parents really want a nswe rs. teachers, parents really want answers. so let‘s talk about september. are you committed to all pupils returning in september? will that be five days a week as it was before? yes. thank you. how will you achieve that? what we are going to do, and later this week, and i‘m not trying to evade the question, we are going to have the opportunity to set out very clearly as to what our full return plan is for september. i‘d love to be able to break the news as to exactly what it looks like here but you are just going to have to waitan but you are just going to have to wait an extra few days. i m still going to ask you questions.” totally appreciate that. you will equally understand that i‘m just not ina equally understand that i‘m just not in a position before we finally have concluded the last bits of our consultation with those important stakeholders and we have been really clear we will release this plan at the end of the week. will it include social bubbles? you know, classroom bubbles? we recognise we want to see every child back into school. we wa nt to every child back into school. we want to see all year groups back into school. we have rapidly approaching 1.5 million children actually going back into school at the end of last week. i imagine those numbers are going to grow this week and grow the following week as more children return to school, pa rents‘ more children return to school, parents‘ confidence about what their children are receiving increases. and as schools get comfortable about what they are offering. but we are going to have to make changes as to how it currently operates. we have seen the relaxation of social distancing rules and we are going to see the return of full class sizes, full primary schools and secondary schools, because we do need to ensure that every child is benefiting from the education that we all so richly value. so you are saying that classroom sizes will be up saying that classroom sizes will be up to 30? we are saying that we will see a return of full class sizes, yes. lisa wants a really clear answer. she says: will there be social distancing in schools, yes or no? you have just social distancing in schools, yes or no? you havejust told us these social distancing in schools, yes or no? you have just told us these will be full classroom sizes, so social distancing, yes or no? so, effectively there will be an extension of that bubble. what you have already seen as schools operating with bubbles of 15. that will increase up to a full class size but we will be sharing all the details a little bit later on this week. just on that, a science teacher suzanne has asked us. sorry to cut over you, i didn‘t mean to be rude, but to reassure lisa, the most precious thing that any of us have is our children. and their well being and their safety is every one of ours top priorities and that‘s why we are taking a really cautious, really careful approach. we have seen, as i say, almost 1.5 million children return to school in a safe way and that‘s the approach we will continue to take. but we do need all children to be benefiting from a world class, brilliant education that we want to see every child benefit from. this question is from suzanne, science teacher. how will the idea of bubbles work in secondary schools when pupils move between sets, for example, or different options? how will it work? it will be more complex within secondary schools. we will be setting out a clear set of procedures and a hierarchy of controls to ensure the risk of infections are minimised. but you are right to highlight, i mean, i‘ve got two secondary school aged daughters and they crisscross all the way through the school. but we are looking at how we minimise the risk and spread of infection. that‘s what we are going to share details of late in the week. if you have classes of 30, we are all aware that some schools will not have classrooms that can fit 30 in with social distancing. so will thatjust go? well, what we have always done, and i‘m sure you have read our guidance, that we should back in may, we have always said it is the hierarchy of controls. basically the key elements of reducing the amount of transmission points. it‘s about the actions that are undertaken to sort of reduce the vectors of transmission that can exist within a school that creates the safety for both pupils and staff. it is not about one metre, it is not about two metres, it is about a whole set of different controls and different actions to ensure that schools can operate in a safe and secure environment and that‘s what we want to see. it is what we are seeing right across the school estate. we wa nt to right across the school estate. we want to see it benefit every single child right across the country. and i don‘t know about you but i‘ve got a year ten who has had the opportunity of starting to go back into school for the first time and you can already see the transformation in them, the benefit they are having in terms of being with other pupils, the benefit of being with their teachers, we have got to have this for every single child. with respect, you say you are being really clear in your advice. we have had so many messages from head teachers and teacher saying it is just not clear. head teachers and teacher saying it isjust not clear. what we will do at the end of this week is setting up at the end of this week is setting up further advice as to what the full return of all pupils looks like and giving clear steers as to how schools should operate. but the fundamental is that every child right across the country will be returning to school in september of all year groups. returning to school in september of all yeargroups. 1.5 returning to school in september of all year groups. 1.5 million are already benefiting from that. every single child will be. sorry to ask you again, once again on the clarity, is two metres needed or not? we have already said is a government two metres will be moving down to one metre, but we will be taking a different approach in schools, making sure that we reduce the chances and risks of transmission of coronavirus within schools. but recognising the unique challenges within schools that are different to what you would see in a pub ora different to what you would see in a pub or a retail setting. gavin williamson, secretary of state for education, thank you for your time this morning. thank you. i think we are going to go to neenah next because we have ellie golding coming up because we have ellie golding coming up before the end of the programme to talk about her new album. nina is at liverpool airport, john lennon airport, very empty this morning, but talking about the air bridges, which i think a lot of people have been getting in contact about this morning. correct and despite the mask this is nina and not ellie golding, sadly. usually at this time of year this airport would have 500,000 people coming through the doors every month, since the lockdown it is down to 1000. like you and me and like lots of people they are waiting to see what the announcement is on air bridges. they announce on friday and we expect an announcement later that there will be a reciprocal agreement between the uk and various nations, which means unrestricted travel without having to quarantine. we spoke to the boss of tui earlier said they have seen a spike in bookings over the weekend, eurotunnel‘s website crashed and also last minute.com, eurotunnel‘s website crashed and also last minute. com, great eurotunnel‘s website crashed and also last minute.com, great news for them and also john also last minute.com, great news for them and alsojohn irving, the chief executive of liverpool airport. lovely to see you this morning. for lots of people that holiday starts the moment they step through these doors. going for a drink, getting some food and doing shopping, what will that look like here? we welcome the announcement today to allow travel for some people to take holidays. it is important for us to see people back. i think here at liverpool we are blessed with the space have a major processing area, so at check in, we have social distancing setup and ready to go. of course there will be changes, people will wear masks and we will only allow passengers into the terminal. but after that experience walking through our security hole which is large and allows for social distancing and our normal processing which is very efficient, will mean people can transit through this airport is easily and safely as you would want to. moving into the departure lounge again, lots of space for us, which is great, and we are working really hard to make sure that the bars and shops that people expect to see are open as soon as possible. again, making sure they are safe with all of the priorities in therefore safe social distancing, screens, contactless cards and all the things you would expect. screens, contactless cards and all the things you would expectm screens, contactless cards and all the things you would expect. if i was taking the kids for a bowl of chips and drink it would be very much the same as the hospitality rules which are changing this week across the board? correct, we will work towards those guidelines and recommendations set by the government in all of our areas as and when we open these restaurants and when we open these restaurants and bars. john, the home secretary said yesterday this isn‘t going to happen overnight and it‘s unclear exactly which countries for a start will accept us as visitors. how difficult is it working with these grey areas perpetually at the moment? it has been difficult over the last few weeks when announcements have been talked about about quarantine, moving restrictions for certain countries and it‘s difficult to plan for us and it‘s difficult to plan for us and ourairline and it‘s difficult to plan for us and our airline partners. we have 70% of rhino capacity back from the 1st ofjuly, which is great news, but it is about passengers‘ confidence and travelling through the airport ryanair capacity. we expect might hope to see those flights to spain, italy and greece and all of those major holiday areas announced as part of this announcement today. john told me earlier the expect to survive this as an airport but the economic scarring for them and many other places like this will be long term. he also talked there about the uncertainty around exactly where you can travel to and that is putting off some consumers from booking. the advice from insurers we have spoken to this morning as your cover isn‘t necessarily 100% at the moment. things could change overnight. wait and see what the announcements are later in the house of commons and later in the house of commons and later in the week when we know exactly which countries we can travel to and how well we will be covered. but no doubt about it, it is good news for people who want to get a is good news for people who want to geta and is good news for people who want to get a and crucially who can afford to. it‘s not that easy for everyone. nina, thank you very much indeed. sound travel advice today from various gifts, what people are thinking about over the next few weeks and what to do. when a musician launches a new album, you‘d normally expect a headline tour and expensive music videos to promote, but ellie goulding is releasing her latest record in the midst of lockdown. the two time brit award winner is back with herfirst album in five years and she‘s had to work a little differently. like all of us. she even had to shoot the music video for her latest single on her mobile phone. let‘s take a look. # you kept me at a distance # not asking any questions # fingers, pressing # learning, lessons # beautiful lies on a friday night # starting to wonder where we lost the magic # head in the clouds, talking so loud # all i hear is static # i‘m not a material girl # everything in your world just feels like plastic # wearing your crown, it‘s pulling me down # you just want the power # you‘re not really down for love # you just want the power # the power # no, i‘m not chasing paper. # it is nice watching ellie golding rocking out to her own music. it is a bit like watching adele watching adele watching ellie. good morning, i‘m glad you enjoyed that! on the issue of filming your own video on your phone, i imagine for someone, who normally when you film your video there is loads of people telling you what to do, where to look and how to act, it must be liberating to do it all yourself. it really was, which is why i‘m wearing what i‘m wearing and doing what i‘m doing because it was a first. there was no one around. it is usually a male crew so it was nice tojust be is usually a male crew so it was nice to just be by myself and kind of do what i wanted. the technology side has been tricky. but it was really fu n. side has been tricky. but it was really fun. i really enjoyed it and made the most out of the fact that we couldn‘t really do anything the usual way. so it was good. your own stylist, make up artist, director, everything. yeah, i did it all my self. good on you, did you enjoy it? i really did. this time has been definitely a time where we have had to experiment a bit more with technology, use different kinds of things, all kinds of things, this phone has never got so much action. but it has definitely been different. but like i said, we have really tried to make the most. it made me realise how technologically inept i was and that ijust didn‘t know anything about the technology behind all the things that i‘ve done the whole time as a singer. so it made me really appreciate the people scene is and appreciate the people and the lighting, and even also in the studio as well. i‘ve learned more about new music technology in the past few months than i have ever. i failed my in the past few months than i have ever. ifailed my music in the past few months than i have ever. i failed my music technology exams. it is all coming out! the idea of releasing an album, the first ina idea of releasing an album, the first in a few years during lockdown, did you think about holding back and waiting a few months and see what happens, or did you think let‘s get it out there and test the water? it has been about five years since my last album. and i think my fans are very sweet but they are slightly impatient now because it has been a long time. i did think about holding it back a bit but to be honest in these kind of strange times i reallyjust wa nted of strange times i reallyjust wanted to get some new music out there. i feel like it‘s wanted to get some new music out there. ifeel like it‘s quite wanted to get some new music out there. i feel like it‘s quite a hopeful album. it sounds kind of hopeful. i always like to provide some kind of hopefulness and positivity. i did think about it because obviously i can‘t do the usual stuff, go on tour and go and promote the album. so i‘m just putting it out there and hoping for the best and letting it set sail. it s the best and letting it set sail. it‘s called brightest blue and it is two different sides. what‘s the difference? 18 songs. it s a lot of songs. the first half is very much myself, i wrote all of the album and i played a lot of the instruments. it is very honest and heartfelt and it is kind of my vulnerable side where i just basically it is kind of my vulnerable side where ijust basically write the lyrics and then face the consequences later. and then the second half, i‘d say it is more like my alter ego, in fact i have called it ego. it is the song were i actually kind of got to be some powerful female superhero where i write these songs and a few of them have already been released in america and they have been big hits there. it feels like it‘s me that it‘s like a character, like a very strong, amazing woman who is unapologetic and does whatever she wa nts. unapologetic and does whatever she wants. but the first side is more true to who i really am, which is kind of this shy girl that likes to talk about my feelings. so i wanted to release the two sides and i thought they were both equally important. yeah. do you still feel that sort of shyness? i remember speaking to lisa stanfield about the issue a few years ago, she always wa nted issue a few years ago, she always wanted to feel like a lion but it took her a few songs to get into it. i can‘t even imagine performing on stage now. i watch my glastonbury performance that was on and i can‘t believe i did that in front of all those people. i think i‘m going to have to build up that courage again. but when i‘m onstage i definitely feel i go into that of a character where i have this confidence out of nowhere. but as soon as come back offstage. i‘ve never been to any of my own after show parties, genuinely, in the whole time i have toured because i‘m a bit too shy. there is always a misconception that if you are proforma and you perform to all of those people if you are a performer and perform to all those people you must be a confident, extrovert person but i‘m actually the complete opposite. this time has also made me even more so, i‘ve spent a lot of time by myself and i think i‘m going to have to build that back up again. whenever i do go back on tour, i am going back on tour next year, so yeah, hopefully everything will be a bit better than. but it‘s going to be quite surreal. i m sure lots of people will feel the same way. i really quick question, have you been teaching yourself piano? yeah, i ve been trying. i am a guitarist by trade, but i‘ve been desperately trying to teach myself piano. it gives me a whole other can i hear my music in a different way when i hear it on piano, so maybe by next year i ll it on piano, so maybe by next year i‘ll be vaguely accomplished. it on piano, so maybe by next year i ll be vaguely accomplished. thank you, ellie. ellie‘s album brightest blue is out on 17thjuly. what a pleasure. that‘s all from breakfast this morning. we‘ll be back tomorrow morning from 6:00am. have a lovely day. goodbye. morning, welcome to bbc news this monday morning. i‘m victoria derbyshire, here are the headlines: £1 billion promised to rebuild crumbling schools in england and millions more for repairs. but critics say it‘s a fraction of what‘s needed. wales reopens all of its schools from today, with staggered sessions for all year groups until the end of term. high street shops in scotland are opening their doors for the first time since the lockdown restrictions came in back in march. the number of people to die with covid 19 worldwide
warning people to stay off the roads tomorrow. an cabrera is joining us from the cnn s severe weather center? atlanta. tell me why this storm is so much more dangerous than other recent snowstorms. we ve had some bad once ones here in new york and boston and rhode island. i think a couple reasons, obviously the amount of snowfall here, we re talking about 12 24 perhaps even higher than that. but it s the combination of the heavy snow and it would be falling with sustained winds between the 30 40 miles an hour and then you get the wind gusts and perhaps even 70 miles an hour. that s what will make it dangerous. what i thought i would do is take a step back. people are asking is it snowing already in new york? the storm is here it s south of indianapolis. it is not going to turn into a major storm until it dives down across the jet stream into the southeast, and then reintensify east of the carolina and head up the coast. that is when the storm will become dangerous. that s when we ll have the winds and very heavy snowfall. that will happen monday night. that is when travel will be impossible across the region. we now, poppy, have blizzard warnings from new jersey to the canadian border. we haven t seen this in a while here. there s north carolina new york haven connecticut, through providence portland all the way up through canada. this entire area could experience 12 to 24 inches and wind gusts between 50 and 70 miles an hour. that s why we re talking about a dangerous storm. that map over 2 feet some pockets likely looking at potential of over 30 inches of snowfall if all of this verifies here. once we re talking about 1 to 2 feet this is not going away. this storm will not fizzle out. we will not be looking at 1 to 3 inches in new york or boston. that s not going to happen. it s going to be a crippling storm, widespread and the inches we ll have to see how much we get. but we re in trouble, and then you have the winds, 50 to 75 miles an hour with the power outages, so again, this is the time if you re in the northeast, get out and get prepared and just plan for several days of no power. hopefully you ll not have to deal with more than one, but if you do you re going to be better safe than sorry if you have the supplies. absolutely. thank you for the update. we ll get back to you throughout the evening as we learn more and more about the storm. boston is used to a lot of snow the people bracing to be snowed in for days. joining me on the phone. boston mayor martin wallsh. tell me a bit about what boston is doing. i know the national guard is on standby. what else are you doing? we had a phone conference and public safety and really bracing for what seems to be a very big storm coming our way. we do have the plows ready to go 35 thousands tons of salt. more importantly it s about getting word out to the citizens of boston and massachusetts, to make sure you know, keep an eye out for elderly neighbors. making sure that people start their cars make sure you shovel out the tailpipe you know remove snow from around the hydrants and handicapped ramps. it s going to go on for days, so keep that in mind and always tell people to call 911 with any medical emergency. 635-4500 with any questions people might have. what are you telling people in terms of adults going to work and also kids in schools. we don t know about school closures yesterday, but this storm is expected to hit later in the day. if you don t want people to get stuck wherever they are. what we re looking at in boston the storm starting late in the day, 2 to 3 inches possibly in the late even. i don t know if it would change the way of work today, tomorrow morning, but we are going to get notification out very early about school closings and about emergency and all the other facts. we re not going to wait until tuesday morning to do it. i would ask tell people also if you need to go to the super market go tonight. if you need to fill up your base tank, do it tonight. this storm is giving you a 24-hour head start. be as prepared as you can for the snow. absolutely. cnn will have teams all up and down the east coast covering this so you can stay informed. just stay at home and stay out of this. that s the best advice mayor. good to have you on. thank so much. thanks for having me. all right. to the meet with the latest on the hostages being held by isis. japan s prime minister, says the image of kenji gotto showing the photo showing the corpse of fellow captive appears to be real. the two men seen hire. these were images released just a weekable. prime minister abe calls the culling of yukawa unforgivable. the new online ultimatum, an internet posting demarchds the released of a convicted female terrorist in return for kenji gotto s. she was sentenced to death for her role in a series of bombings back in 2005 that killed dozens of people in jordan. colonel, thanks for being here. we heard from prime minister abe condemning this saying we are not negotiating with terrorists just the same stance that the united states takes. is there any chance we will see the jordanian government work with japan here and release this woman, who is on death row in exchange for kenji goto? poppy, good evening. unfortunately my answer will be no. the reason is the jordanians have their own issues. as you remember they have the f-16 pilot that was shot done he s been captured by isis off daeshe. so there become as problem with what the jordanians are going to do. they feel horrible about this japanese gentleman, but there is not much they can do. they also know the stance of the japanese government which is to not negotiate with them. so why dough you this they re making this demand when clearly it s most likely not going to be met? well you know politics has made you know strange bellfellows. we know the japanese are in jordan. they re talking to king abdullah to try to figure out a way. one possibility could be you know you would notice eye says has not talked much about the jordanian pilot. that could be a strategic move by isis by doing that by keeping that soldier, that jordanian soldier, because the jordanians are fighting against isis. that could be a strategic move. there might be raa slight possibility, but i don t see it. a british citizen by the name of john cantly he was captured at the same time as james followy. the latest photo was posted earlier this month. he s in plain clothes, and actually out acting like a reporter giving a tour of mosul, saying you know you think the islamic state is one way, but in fact this is how they run a great city. this is nothing like you in the west think. why do you think isis is keeping cantly alive and using him in this way? what it gives isis is some credibility on a western journalist who, one, knows how to report. he s been asked to do something, he s in a strange position so he s being a professional reporter right now, which is keeping him alive, which is key. you know throughout history, whether p.o.w.s or other hostages studies have been done. we can go back and look at the case studies of why people fair in it. he s keeping himself alive because of his skills. you know it s interesting that they believe, it seems, and correct me ifs disagree but they seem to believe that people buy these videos that they don t look at them as the clear propaganda that they are. well i do agree with you, and you and i have talked about this. there are elements of you know some of these folks that are out there, especially some refugee camps, they don t have much to go on, they see the isis aspects as kind of being a rock star perspective. they guy them go on youtube, they keep watching and watching and it builds their credibility, and it s a big propaganda wheat. colonel reese, good to have you on the program. thank you. thanks poppy. i want you to look at this video for a moment. that is pretty unbelievable and disturbing. it is video of rocket attacks, new attacks inside of ukraine, the violence escalating by the hour. there s also a report that russian rebels may be using poison gas. a live report from ukraine, next. when the flu hits, it s a really big deal. the aches. the chills. the fever. an even bigger deal? everything you miss out on. family pizza night. the big game. or date night. why lose out to the flu any longer than you have to? prescription tamiflu can help you get better 1.3 days faster. that s 30% sooner. call your doctor right away. and attack the flu virus at its source with prescription tamiflu. tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if you re pregnant, nursing, have serious health conditions or take other medicines. if you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures, confusion or abnormal behavior. the most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. call your doctor right away. don t lose another moment to the flu. when there s flu, tamiflu. attacks by pro-russian separatists have been ramping up up. pretty unbelievable video. it reportedly shows shelling yesterday. the attack killed 30 people including two children at a news conference today. with us now, the spokesman for the organization for security and cooperation in europe mike at joining us from ukraine. you have been on the ground there for months and months. listening to what the president said. if the u.s. is not going to take action, what will it take? well, they mentioned calling for folks to head back to the and indeed there is hope that possibly next week there could be another meeting. i can tell you tomorrow in the late afternoon in vienna there would be a meeting. and so there s a lot of diplomatic activity gig on. in terms of what we are doing, in terms of following up on the attacks yesterday which should reckless indiscriminate and a disgrace at the moment we found on the there s just a terrible mental barrage, about 19-plus this all came raining down on a saturday morning. tall apartment buildings, so you can imagine the carnage that our monitor saw there. so we re hoping there is possible and return to the negotiating table. your monitors on the ground have reported in the past week or so a big group, about 80 soldiers showing these symptoms of poison gas after an attack at the donetsk airport, right? are you ready to say this was carried out by russian rebels and indeed poison gas was used? or is it still being investigated? yeah poppy, that assessment is still under way. there were quite a few assuring quite odd symptoms after the attacks. so we re still collecting the facts on that. i can tell you, in addition to what we are doing in the airport, which is really been a flash point, is also the special monitoring mission to ukraine has offered to try to arrange a temporary truce so that some humanitarian corridor could be established, so could move in and out the aid that is so badly needed now. we know that john kerry talking on the phone today with ser vail lavrov underscoring the prepareds in to but as the senator said no boots on the ground as of yet, and the fighting gets worse. michael, thank you. appreciate it. in the wake of the parition terror attacks, the president took a lot of criticism after not showing up for the unity march in paris. now some are issuing new complaints. another major ceremony in europe that the president will not be there for. what is it?

do you think this is disrespectful? i think in light of what s been going on lately and the united states reliship with our allies particularly with israel i think that s why we re having this conversation. and with the president cutting his trip to india shot to go to the funeral of the king of saudi arabia and at least not sending someone like the vice president biden to auschwitz, not having someone not having the united states represented there with someone higher up i they it sends just another indication that our relationship with israel our relationship with our allies is just not as strong as it used to be. i know chris will a little there. a president of the united states hat not gone to one of these commemorations ever but the tension between the united states and israel or questioning of our relationship i don t think has which the obama administration says that s not the case at all. so chris, to you, the president will be in the saudi arabia visiting the new king after the death of king abdullah. everyone knows how critical that relationship is to the united states. do you think this is being overblown a bit? it may be. it also comes at a time when benjamin netanyahu is coming to the united states. he won t be meeting with the president, but will be addressing congress so the context does matter but i think the without looked at this and said this would have been the first president to attend an event like this an anniversary event, but on the other hand this would probably be the last major anniversary where there are living victims of what happened there. also in 1995 bill clinton sent ellie ellie, the author but the context of it all. not being at the unity rally. there s a rise of anti-semitic that s being underreported in u.s. but very real. i don t mean hip, but the cool relationship between the united states and israel well personally the obama administration and netanyahu no not be ignored. over israel and that is critically important. we need to pay attention to this. this brings up an important point, right? house speaker john boehner inviting benjamin netanyahu to come to the u.s. which he plans to do in march, to talk to congress about the potential increased sanctions against recall which, you know many in the gop, some democrats like senator bob menendez want and the president is saying hold on let s give this to july to see if we can reach a nuclear agreement with iran. interesting on state of the union this morning, even jon huntsman said this is not a good idea to have netanyahu talking to or seemingly trying to dictate u.s. policy. he was invited by john boehner, though there was very interesting that he didn t inform the white house that this was going on but we ve seen as you said a cooling of relationship here between the obama white housened israel. a lot of obama aiding off the record or on deep background have been talking to reporters. they called netanyahu a chicken hawk and then had some other words for him this week. and to say chicken hawk not chicken hawk excuse me chicken an expletive word but to say that anonymously he was criticized for. and another thing, too, the president is going to india. india is an important ally but relatively ignored at a time early on in the administration tuesdayly this is the first u.s. president and president modi applauded him for that. of course he s being diplomatic but this is not a pressing trip. the president, even jewelie pace said the president is going over to and to visit the taj mahal. so again this goes to the seriousness of this president on an international left level that a lot of people are questions and but the economy tiessh. guys thank you very much. got to take a quick break. the president is on the road. don t go anywhere we ll have more next. we re going to talk about a meeting between mitt romney and jeb bush to potential 2016 candidates. why are they getting together? that s next. when the flu hits, it s a really big deal. the aches. the chills. the fever. an even bigger deal? everything you miss out on. family pizza night. the big game. or date night. why lose out to the flu any longer than you have to?

[ alex ] transamerica helped provide a lifetime of retirement income. so i can focus on what matters most. [ female announcer ] everyone has a moment when tomorrow becomes real. transamerica. music .the getaway vehicle! for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this. a lot of potential republican candidates for the white house assemble in iowa this weekend. they made their best pitch to more than 1,000 conservative activists in that state s first ratherly is the first in the national presidential caucuses. senators rand paul and had scheduling conflicts, but bush and romney did clear their schedule for a private meeting on thursday in utah. entried by this bush/romney private meeting. i m interested more in policying. i respect him a lot and consider him a friend. the awkward side of this we put a side. that s a decision he ll make and i ll have my past for decision and who knows where that will late. what do you make of this? i buy it that they didn t talk about which one is going to run. that s a very awkward conversation but what do you make of the meeting? i think it s an issue of resources, too. this has always been a back and forth about whether romney would run. they re going to pull from the same resources. that s when mid romney said he was considering it. he phet that he s been vin caughted on issues of foreign policy that maybe he needs to rethink this. it s divided even in his own camp. so i think this political drama will play out for a couple more weeks,d but cannot play out for too much longer. he has to get an organization in place. some people make the argument it doesn t benefit any candidate to come out so early. gem bush saying he s interested kicked mitt romney into gear. i heard others reporting that romney wanted to be the white knight that rescued the republican party, but jeb bush talking to donors early and publicly that made him have to act very quickly. also when gem bush says i consider him a very good friend there s no more strange word in politics than friend. that s a widely defined word and something you say after maybe a tense meeting. we also saw donald trump and sarah palin, and daniel trump said i m kerrly considering it. is there any chance? and i m a chicken with lips. he does this all the time. it s a way to get attention. maybe he will but i won t necessarily until he starts putting toes hi financial disclosures. we know he likes that publicity, it gives him a strange and keeping him relevant. people clamor to hear what he has to say, because he s a character. and i really hope she does not do it again, but she s the same thing, the same thing in 2012, and she went and didn t need to and kind of stole the thunder from a lot of actual candies. so i would be interested to what she does, too. we ll be watching. guys good to have you on. thank you so much. next coach belichick insisting his team did nothing wrong and the cold weather likely caused the team s footballs to dough flay. is that possible? my next guest went straight to a stop krein tis. find out. this is jim. a man who doesn t stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim s medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim s on the move. jim s doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn t require regular blood monitoring. so jim s not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don t stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

i know a lot of you are over it. the nfl says the new england patriots used underinflated footballs during the afc championship win. why? some accused the patriots of deflating the balls to get a better grip a competitive advantage in that weather. head coach bill belichick explaining the cold could explain it saying the team did nothing wrong. this controversy has overshadowed the super bowl and belichick says he s embarrassed by the amount of time he s had to spend addressing the controversy. this whole comment by it s the end of this subject for me for a long time. okay? like it or not, the subject likely is not going to go away any time soon newspapers the internet obsessed with this potential scandal. it was written about it in the daily beast today. i have to read the first line note to scanned appear-seekers gases lose volume when it s cold. you say there are scandal seekers in this. i don t know about that but i happened to not sleep will you high school physics. i remember the law of ideal gases, which is pv equal nrt. the important letters be p, pressure v volume and t on the other side. you change the temperature, the pressure changes. well you called a physics professor from boston who by the way is not a patriots fan, a bull lo bills fan. right. what did he say? he said you re on the right track, and i said to him, i found out that the balls are actually measured for pressure indoors, then taken outdoors and there may have been as much as a 30 degree difference between where they were measured and where they were actually played it. like 51 degrees. it dropped to the mid 40s, so if you figure 70 75 so he bought belichick s explanation? i don t know if he bought it but he said he did the math and you could expect a 30-degree change, a 1.54 psi pressure change this is pounds per square inch let s say the trots they re known to prefer lower deflation, so let s say they re at the bottom limit, 12.5 and you ve got a drop of 1.5, you get down to 11 which is by what it was. but michael, you write in this one piece, one seeming mystery is why the balls for the second half of the game after they noticed this tested within the limit at the end of the game. i thought, well, daly s theory is gone about but if you figured they measured them indoors before the second half and then they go out and play with them and you figure there s a big victor. it s not like everybody will go let go measure, you have to figure they re not going to leave the balls around the sidelines for trophy seekers to take so they ve been to bring them in and put them someplace indoors, and probably ended up by the time they got to measuring the balls, they should probably bag to the temperature. controversy? science, i think. non-troversy. we re quick to call people liars, but it s possible this guy was not lying. interesting article. check it out on thedailybeast thedailybeastcom. the driver didn t even break the law, the police seizings the cash are doing it in a legal way, even when folks aren t breaking the law. you have to see this report. the aches. the chills. the fever. an even bigger deal?

that s not yours, is it? it s mine. i m sizing it. this is humboldt county sheriff s departmentally bee dove. he s being to seize $40,000 from a driver who wasn t charged with a crime or even traffic violation. the attorney represents the driver and is in the process of organizing a class as suit on behalf of others who believe this is nothing more than thievery. i get my receipt, but it doesn t say how much they took and if he wants to protest it they ll take his car do. he won t do any other official acts other than put it in the bank. no police reports, no lawsuit, no forfeiture lawsuit, which is generally what s done. take the money and run. the traffic stops are called interdiction shuns by the authorities, part of civil asset forfeiture in which cops if they believe it s part of a criminal enterprise. they take the money, go back to tony and put it in the bank. deputy dove was so proud of the stops he made he began autograph him will have with his canine dog and on the highway, he berated i m quillsed that dope money. you may get away with the cashier s checks and stuff, but you ain t getting the cash. that s going to be seized. okay? you re up to no good. reporter: this kind of language is very disturbing to mike allen, who happens to deputy dove s new boss after campaigning with a promise tend this type of activity. when i first learned about it i guess i was in denial thinking this can t happen that something is being misled and that all the information isn t coming forth. reporter: today how do you feel about it? after i viewed a videotape, i feel these highway interdiction programs need to be looked into to ensure that people s rights are not being violated. reporter: divorce so that dependly lee dove was trained by desert snow an oklahoma company responsible for training thousands of police in roadside tactics. so we wanted to ask deputy dove about this why he thinks this is in any way appropriate. it was nightfall when we walked up to a fence outside his house. deputy dove this is gary tuck manner from cnn. we had a question for you. no answer. as on you cnn team was driving away this happened. we ll wait for you, thank you. we were pulled over by some colleagues. why? because the other deputies told us dove had called after our visit. we had done nothing wrong, but one of the deputies told us quote, lee has been having a tough time. a few minutes later we were let go. i ve got in totalitarian societies. i was in bulgaria before the fall of the wall and the iron curtain. it s real spooky. and i think this is one aspect that you would be worried about, but even more than that i think that the average traveler traveling on an interstate highway in this country would never imagine this kind of thing could happen to them. the attorney and the new sheriff both say the nevada attorney general s office is investigating the situation. the attorney adding he has been informed that deputy dove and one or move of his colleagues are being investigated for at least 38 similar forfeiture stops. the new sheriff says the stops have in and out been suspended, but is the deputy still with the department?

with the turkish prime minister? would you like to discuss that? yes. that s what we do all day. the people here are the decisionmakers and the power brokers, for better or worse, for good or evil for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health these are the people who can make change. so something you should know about davos. i ve been here three times now and what i ve learn side two things. a lot of the important meetings you ll never see. they don t happen in the sessions that are open. they happen in the hotels and private meeting rooms. the other thing is the davos, what do you call it? the duck? the double stoop. look at the size of the card. all right? unless you recognize someone by that face you ll have to recognize them and know who they are by their card but you only have about one second before you ve got to realize that you don t know who that person is. hello. how are you? nice to see you. nice to see you. so that s how it works here in davos. we wanted to show you a little bit of richard quest davos because as i said he s been here for 14 years. you have ten minutes before you interview the turkish prime minister. already interviewed the commissioner of economics. oh what you re always really watching for in davos is an entourage. this is christine leg art, managing director of the international monetary fund. he s super important. madam leg art, just saying hello. hi richard. good to see you. and that and that is why this is richard quest, davos. and that s a davos moment. this is another davos moment. the president of mongolia. now, you never know when you ll meet him in the future. you ll never know when it s relevant so you make every opportunity you can. always. this is classically, this is classically dating. looking. he s never really looking at me. he s just looking for who is behind me. when it s all over and done with everybody says never again. it s too much. it s too long. it s too tiring. it s too boring and there s too much nonsense and i m never coming again. never coming again. and guess what?

prize-winning historian. but what she thinks might happen if you wins. also breaking news on supreme court justice clarence thomas already under scrutiny for setting millions of dollars in gifts and travel over the years. now, the senate judiciary committee reveals three more trips he took did not disclose. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight. keep them honest with the former president s de in washington with his party, and that use the possessive to describe the republican senators and house members he met with today in separate closed-door sessions, each just steps from the capital is no accident because if he s done nothing else over the last three-and-a-half years. of insurrection and search warrants and indictments and trials and felony convictions. it has been to remake the party of ronald reagan in his own image at the house meeting, he made a point of reminding members that nearly every republican who voted to impeach him as either been voted out of office or retired? not that by this point, there s survivors really needed reminding listen to speaker of the house mike johnson was basking in the afterglow and majority whip tom emmer, a self-proclaimed tough on crime law maker, attacking the criminal justice system he said very complimentary things about all of us we had sustained applause. he said, i m doing a very good job. i mean, we re grateful for that. i m going to add anybody who thought that this president was going to be down after the sham trial after that crooked trial that we saw in new york i think again more than more than one member of congress and the house meeting told cnn that the former president has spent most of his time airing grievances about his felony conviction. afterwards that a house judiciary committee hearing democratic members were all too happy to bring it up. just a show of hands for anyone in the room who hung out with a felon today hey, guys. i everyone get your hands up i want to begin by quoting the jury in the manhattan hush money payment trial guilty guilty guilty. guilty now, it s remarkable because whatever you think it congressional decorum or for that matter, x presidential criminality. this is where we are, but we are a convicted felon leads the self-proclaimed party of law and order in his post-conviction visit, just a few blocks away from the place that his supporters attacked into filed is just another headline. and so is what one lawmaker in the rooms, as he told house members about former democratic house speaker nancy pelosi, after calling one of his daughters a quote, wacko he reportedly claimed that one of her daughters wants told him that he and speaker pelosi would have had a quote, great romance in another life. daughter christine, today responded tweeting quote, speaking for all four pelosi daughters, this is ally he also called milwaukee side of the republican national convention, quote, horrible, according to a source in the room, another lawmaker later saying he was only talking about crime. all from a single meeting. at this other meeting, his republic republican senator is also close to the capital. he spoke with minority leader mitch mcconnell for the first time since december 2020. the photo prompting this reaction from liz cheney, the staunchly conservative former republican congresswoman, who was drummed out while first out of the party leadership and then out of office for co-chair and the january 6 committee she tweeted and quoted words mitch mcconnell made on the senate floor in february 13, 2021. cheney wrote, mitch mcconnell knows trump provoked the violent attack and our capital, and then quote watch television happily unquote as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the vice president he knows trump reviews for hours to tell his mob to leave and quote, even then with police officers bleeding, he kept repeating his election leinz and praising the criminals she went on to say again, quoting mcconnell, he knows that trump committed a quote disgraceful dereliction of duty unquote, and is a danger to our republic here are some more of what mcconnell said on that day there s no question nod. their president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day those are tough words for mitch mcconnell, but just 12 days later, after he said that on the 25th, senator mcconnell, eight, those words telling fox is brett baer, he would support the man he so recently criticized if he s nominated in 2024 talk, it seems is cheap. join his now with more cnn s meloni s and ohno. what else went on behind closed doors today with trump will anderson heading into these meetings, lawmakers are really hopeful that trump was going to be talking about a campaign strategy or laying out his vision for a policy agenda. and now there was some of that. one of the more substantive moments was on trump brought up the topic of abortion and any counseled republicans about how he thinks they should talk about this issue. and he said they shouldn t be afraid of it. they should frame it as a state s issue. and you also encouraged republicans to voice support for exceptions not come across as too extreme on the issue, but for the most part, according to all the lawmakers that i spoke to, these meetings were more of an airing of grievance it says it was a gripe session at particularly in the house meeting this morning, i m told that trump, of course, brought up the legal challenges against them, calling all the charges against him, quote, bogus he also referred for to the department of justice as quote, dirty, no-good according to some of the lawmakers that i talked to, he even at one point, complained about taylor swift, were endorsing his rival president joe biden. and he also gloated about how most of the house republicans who voted to impeach him over the january 6 insurrection are no lines hunger in congress. so it was very wide ranging speech, very freewheeling that member ce felt more like a pep rally or even a roast than a serious policy discussion. morning and taylor swift has not endorsed joe biden. do you have any more details on the trump mcconnell counter well, with trump and mcconnell, there was a very serious effort. i m told by both parties he s to really bury the hatchet after years of feuding and years of frost newness right before the meeting, trump and mcconnell shook hands, which was captured on a phone photograph during the meeting. trump credited mcconnell with helping to elect more republican senators, and then after the meeting, mcconnell praised trump and said the mean eating was very, very positive. so just a remarkable inflection point. i think anderson, we re going to look back on this moment similar to kevin mccarthy trekking down to mar-a-lago in the weeks after january 6 and really just captures how much the party, including some of trump s former critics like mcconnell, have really fallen in line in the years after january 6 and despite these criminal convictions, anderson, millions and thanks so much, jonasson. i was new york democratic congressman daniel goldman, congressman. any surprises for you today in the visit by trump not really. he didn t come to the capital, which was good good thing because this is where he fomented a massive riot and insurrection to try to keep him installed in office. he didn t talk much about policy because he doesn t really care much about policy. what he cares about is himself and what he cares about is his conviction 34 times for being a felon and what he cares about her as three other cases and getting revenge. and he wants to do that by tearing down our democracy and what he was effectively doing today is greases the wheels, trying to play nice with republicans who support he needs in order to become president. so that he can take his fat let s just authoritarian views into office if he were to win. and it is just a very telling i think that mitch mcconnell has now bowed down to the ring of donald trump someone who, you quoted what he said on january 25, where he helped donald trump responsible for the january 6 riot. and has resisted donald trump. but now he has clearly demonstrated graded that donald trump owns the republican party. there is no other faction of the republican party that has any influence other than donald trump his maga supporters, obviously, none of us, there s privilege privy to the inner thoughts and mitch mcconnell. but why do you think center mcconnell made this choice? i mean, after, you know the strong comments he made criticizing trump theta, the racist attacks trump made against me kennels own wife. i mean, what is mitch mcconnell get out of this anderson, what do any of these people who have i know good mccaul s running. i mean, it he could he could go out on i d like liz cheney, who at least, has taken a very strong stand ultimately mixed for the same reason since that mitch mcconnell refuse to give merrick garland a vote for the supreme court and then rammed any amy coney barrett through under the same circumstances, two weeks before the election? that s what connell has a very focused and narrowly tailored view of what he wants to accomplish. and at the end of the day i m sure mitch mcconnell views donald trump as the only possibility to get these type of conservative judges who have now overturned roe v. wade paid back into more into the our judiciary and into the supreme court and push forward a clearly minority favored agenda that mitch mcconnell has been pushing for decades. it was seeing melodies and i was reporting is that trump was telling lawmakers counseling them on how to run about and talk about abortion and to talk about states rights and to not seem too extreme do you have any belief that that s how he would be if he got into office? absolutely none. donald trump does not care. donald trump used to be pro-choice. he used to be a democrat. now, he s out there promoting and celebrating his own work and getting roe versus wade overturned he will do whatever he needs to do to secure the support for his fascist anti-democratic attacks on the rule of law to undermine our democratic institutions. and if that means that he ll give over supreme court nominations to mitch mcconnell or someone else on the far right who wants to roll back our individual freedoms, even more than the supreme court has done. he will do that in a minute. and if there here s a national abortion ban that the republicans pass donald trump will sign that in two seconds. do not believe donald trump whenever he says that he will stand up for abortion rights, he has completely flip-flopped in his career. he will do whatever benefits himself. speaker johnson was asked yesterday, the former president attempt the outcome of the election. i just want to play that for years really for the first time republican house and senate meeting with him since the january 6 attack on the capitol are you committed or have you spoken to him about basically not not doing anything like that again, in committing to respecting the sort of american tradition of peaceful transfer of course, he respects that and we all do and we ve all talked about it at nauseum i mean i mean yeah. i mean, i can anyone say with a straight face is donald trump respects the peaceful transfer of power that i want you to take that clip and run it over and over and over. that is everything you need to know. oh about mike johnson and the maga republican party. they will look you in the eye and they will lie directly to your face over and over and over. there is no question that donald trump does not respect the peaceful transfer of power he has made it a litmus test for his vice president that whoever that will be willing not accept the results. and that s why you have every single vice presidential candidates. so far refusing to concede or acknowledged that they will accept them the results. donald trump, it will not accept the peaceful a trap power. you don t have to ask me or trust me, he already did it so for speaker johnson to look in the camera and to say that of course he respects the peaceful transfer of power. put that on every bulletin board around the country. it is total bogus and it shows you what knowing liars the republicans are. congressman, i appreciate your time. thank you thank you. president biden met today with ukraine s president zelenskyy of the g7 summit in italy. the two signing a new tenure security agreement at the press conference afterwards, frozen biden spoke briefly when asked about his son, hunter i m extremely proud of my son hunter. he is overcome and addiction. he is he s one of the brightest, most decent man i know and i am satisfied that i m not going to do anything. i sat i said i advise by the jury decision. i will do that no i m not pardon him the present-day also ruled out commuting his one-sentence seen as mj lee is traveling with the president joins us now from from very italy. so mj, earlier in the week, the white house appeared to leave open the possibility of a commutation or that flee not commenting at essentially overturning the sentence, not a conviction. what specifically did the president say about that yeah. when the president was walking away from that press conference, some reporters yell loud. would you commute your sons sentence and he answered directly. he said no that was after he had more broadly addressed the conviction of his son, hunter, as you just play they re standing by his son, standing by the judicial system, and also reiterating his previously stated position pardoning his son. he said, i will not pardon him. anderson white house officials had suspected that it was likely he would get asked about the hunter issue at this news conference, given that it happened just two days ago, he had not publicly commented on in yet on it yeah they knew that the specific issue of the commutation was one that could come up if you ll recall yesterday, white house press secretary karine jean-pierre was asked by a reporter whether she would rule out that possibility and she wouldn t say yes or no. and that exchange, the white house, new had taken on a life of its own when in reality, i m told the issue was really that some senior aides hadn t had a chance yet to speak to the president about the commutation issue. corinne john p, or said yesterday to reporters, i haven t talked to him about this yet. i m not just i m not going to have anything more to say on this, but it certainly was a really remarkable moment. the president speaking on this kind of a stage. on the other side of the world about an issue that has been so deeply sensitive for his entire family, mj lee, thanks more in prison, biden s trip later in the program next though cnn s donie o sullivan talking to trump supporters as well as a historian of

i don t see him losing. i don t think he lost the last election to be honest. do you think he s going to win yes. yes. without a doubt. no doubt. you want if he doesn t this time what happens to the contrary where biden talks about democracy saving democracy. they re the ones that are killing democracy. obviously, there s a lot of criticisms of interim than he is bad for democracy, that he s bad for america i republican or republic are not a democracy republican. we re not or democracy one thing we ve been hearing a trump rallies like this over the past few months does that america isn t really a democracy. america s not a democracy as a republic. we get is not a democracy. okay? democracy? she is actually not as good as you think it is but for centuries, america has celebrated its democracy democracy is worth dying for democracy remains the definition of political legitimacy, but some republicans and pro-trump media are pushing the idea that america is not a democracy. united states of america kirk is not a democracy. we are constitutional republic. those things were america is not a democracy. you don t want to be in a democracy. we are not a democracy. we are a republic. is america a democracy america is a democracy. it was founded as a democracy. i ve heard a lot of conspiracy theories. i hear a lot of things out on the road but to hear americans, people who would describe themselves as patriots say that america is not a democracy that stopped me in my tracks. you are hearing people say america is not a democracy because there are people around trump who want them to be saying that who ve been planting that narrative? his america democracy i don t i think we ll never know, but yeah, we re republic. what s the difference i feel like democracy what do we think this through its government i don t see freedom in democracy freedom in the republic honestly, the word democracy and the word republic have often been used interchangeably. there isn t a meaningful difference between them. so much of the warnings and criticism about trump is that he is a threat to democracy, that he has anti-democratic. absolutely. if they can convince people that we don t have a democracy, then it s okay that trump is attacking democracy because it doesn t really matter that s why, like why has democracy become a bad word? because it s been used in a way to change the flavor of our country, which is a republic these words were used in different ways in the 18th century and it s true the founders didn t want direct democracy by which they meant people gathering on the town square. they wanted representative democracy. but i think the reason why does conversation about language has so now is because there is a part of the republican party that would like to rule as a minority and they need an excuse for why that s okay. and so they ve begun to say, we re not a democracy. were, are public and it s not 100% clear what that means. but i think they mean we want donald trump to be able to do whatever he wants some people i ve been seeing debt trump events recently. yes. have been saying american is not a democracy. it s a republic and we ve always been my pros. first of all we have sleek. we re use that freedom of speech and freedom of religion. we used to have that two. now they re picking on the christians and the jewish people i mean, how much more can we are you concerned if trump loses yeah. that there ll be another january 6. no. i think there will be a civil war that s what i think will happen during this whole democracy republican is fascinating. this is the first i ve, i ve heard of that new thing that there are now pushing those. it looks like folks on fox are pushing it. is there a reason the people you spoke with think that country isn t a democracy now, i mean, yeah, look, i mean, i understand some of those folks. no doubt genuinely believed that i might have believed for a long time, this isn t necessarily a new talking point. however, we have seen it just revive over the past few months and they re really the reason we did this piece was over the over the past few months, just unprompted. as i was speaking to a lot of trump s supporters, they would bring this very specific lineup i love this real, it s not a debase right about the former government here. it s not a debate about democracy really why this is happening. and you saw it there in that piece, some fox news and elsewhere on conservative and right-wing media people are trying to convince trump s supporters, others that america is not a democracy in the first place. and we actually saw i haven t noticed that this seem to pick up a bit after president biden speech in philadelphia, where he described trump as a threat to democracy. this is how they seem to be trying to twist language to try and neutralize describing trump as a threat to democracy. because if america is not a democracy in the first place, then there s nothing to worry about your winning a solvent. thank you very much. one of the pillars of a democracy is the rule of law and laws of course are enforced by courts and the highest court in the land supreme court is once again under fire tonight. over new ethics concerns, specifically the behaviors surrounding justice clarence thomas. late this afternoon, senate judiciary chairman dick durbin released new information from a major republican donor about more undisclosed trips provided to justice thomas. it follows previous reporting about numerous undisclosed gifts from that conservative billionaire harlan crow, which include private school tuition for a relative of thomases and decade s worth of luxury vacations. last week after the release of his 2023 disclosures, thomas said certain disclosures had been, quote inadvertently omitted wherever last month in a speech, who railed against the quote, nastiness and quote lies directed toward him. draw now by our justice correspondent, just cash snyder, also a former federal district judge, johnny jones, the third and former federal prosecutor elie honig. so jessica, what do we know about these additional trips now that thomas took on harlan crow plane? yeah. the details just being released tonight for i m senator dick durbin. the details are several new trips happened in 2017, 2019, and 2021. so first and may 20, he 17 justice thomas took harlan crows jet from st. louis to montana and then to dallas. then there was a march 2019 flight where he flew roundtrip between washington, dc and savannah and then in june 2021, he flu round trip between washington, dc and san jose, california. all of this on crows jet and really intersect. i mean, these newly revealed flights, it only adds to what we know were other luxury trips that justice thomas enjoyed, bankrolled by harlan crow. there was also but 2019 trip to indonesia where justice thomas stayed on crows mega yacht. so there have been a lot of previously undisclosed travel that s been gifted by harlan crow is a gop megadonor. he s active and conservative causes. justice thomas, though, i ll note anderson has always it s described him as just a dear friend and says they ve never had any discussions about cases before the court. they ve wow, i mean, that that s you you re hanging out with justice supreme court. that s kind of amazing to think. has justice thomas explained why he did not disclose these these trips? because he talks about his love of staying in for vrb travel and drawing ran on a bus yeah. so he hasn t directly answered about these recent disclosures, but his attorney just released a statement tonight. it says this. it says the formation that harlan crow provided to the senate judiciary committee fell under the personal hospitality exemption and was not required to be disclosed by justice thomas the judicial conference change this provision last year, and justice thomas has fully complied with the new disclosure requirement. so i ll expand upon this to really explain it up until last year there was in fact this personal hospitality exemption. so justices, in the way they read it, didn t have to disclose certain benefits, maybe from there wealthy friends, things like when they stayed at their friends properties or traveled on jets. it was just last year, anderson that exemption was removed. so justices now have to disclose these perks, but there s some question as to whether the disclosures need to be retroactive. there s nothing specifically saying justices have to go back now and disclosed year s worth of trips. but it is still coming out and it came out tonight from the senate judiciary committee, judge jones, does this make sense you why wouldn t justice thomas just come clean about everything harlan crow has given him or paid for. why go through this kind of drip, drip, drip? you know, anderson, i have no idea but this has all the allure of a slow motion car accident. it doesn t look good. i toiled in the federal judiciary for 20 years and i love it. i respect it, but this tears that the fabric the code of ethics that the justices are subject to, which is, by the way, not enforceable says in the first canon that it is there to basically preserve the integrity and the independence of the judiciary now, under the circumstances to the point that was just made he amended his is 2023 ethic statement and he added a couple of his trips when you go to the question of retroactivity, i agree it s less than clear so why would you do that? and not include the other trips they re just revealed there s there s no good answer to that elie. i mean, do you agree with the statement from thomas s attorneys saying that because the personal hospitality exemption, he didn t need to not at all, the spirit of these rules is disclosure and these are not just a small gifts, these are gifts and not donations, but gifts worth tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. and the whole explanation that this is just a friend doing something for me. i mean, i gotta get better friends that this is something more than just a friend paying for his friend. hundreds of thousands dollars over that here for private school tuition for flights, for hotels violates every cannon in this ethics code. and if you remember anderson about a year ago, the supreme court for the first time ever adopted an ethics code. the criticism we made was it s toothless and i think now we re seeing that judge jones i mean, go ahead, judge. while i was going to say it s interesting to ellie s point about having a friend. here s the acid test, and this is not hard and it s not in the statement of ethics at all if you are making a friend because you re on the supreme court of the united states. if that s why this guy is friends with you, then i would suggest to you that if he s providing hospitality, that s just wrong. it just shouldn t happen. and i don t think that s a hard a hard test for any justice or judge observe if i had done this as a district judge, us district judge, i would have been absolutely subject to judicial discipline of the the most pronounced kind, and i would have deserved it. and so to me, there s if clarence thomas was sitting on this circuit court or was the head of the eoc. do you think that harlan crow would afford him this kind of hospitality? of course, he would judge jones. thank you. elie honig, jessica schneider, as well, just ahead. present. biden, promoting democracy on the world stage with ukraine and making a campaign issued home former us ambassador to the un, susan rice it s joins us next welcome to the waiver hood with wave. finding your style is fine when the music stops grabbing it, doesn t matter if you re outdoors hello. i m sorry, carl. this is me and chair form. i don t see you. just perfect for you but you love it. i told you we should have done opinion data i explained how many died they re not sending you need to sit down every style, every home at fisher investments. we may look like other money managers, but were different. and how so we re a fiduciary, obligated to act in our client s best interests. so we don t sell any commission-based products, then how do you make money?

if it s not binding on the next administration well, anderson, let s step back a second and thank you for having me on and take a look at what president biden is doing at the g7 in europe he is going back to his third g7 with, our alliances restored and rebuilt stronger than ever with the united states leadership embraced in respected and he has rallied the world to defend ukraine, including with a $50,000,000,000 loan that the united states led and negotiating this week using the interest off of the russian frozen assets. he s negotiated this bilateral agreement, which is very valuable in that there is always a cost for the united states when it reneges on its commitments, when it walks back its agreements and while it s not a legally binding treaty, it s a powerful statement of us support and intentions in addition, he s just this week led and imposing tough new sanctions on russia and china. so with joe biden, we have strong leadership that is strengthened our leinz is not only in europe, but in asia and around the world, which makes america more secure and we have a leader who s trusted and respected we contrast that as you did in your opening with donald trump who is so profoundly dangerous, he has not committed to democracy at home or abroad. he embraces dictators he is the president, former president whose own vice president? national security advisors, secretary of state secretaries of defense. yeah, pretty much everybody on the cabinets of staff. all have set are unfit. and what does that say when the people closest to you say you re unfit to lead, that s very, very concerning when you hear from say that vladimir putin would release wall street journal reporter it just adjust if he asked, what i mean, does that make sense to you like, why wouldn t he then just ask now for that to happen? well, that s a good question. i understand. no, of course it doesn t make sense. it s bluster. it s, it s all dishonest and every day we hear something dishonest out of donald trump s mouth. that is inherently self-serving and not anything we can rely on its. you don t just get to wave a magic wand and have a dictator who s hell-bent on not only taking over ukraine but western europe and more if we allow him. and what is donald trump s say? donald i m trump calls putin a genius. donald trump tells putin that he can do whatever he wants. the hell he wants with our nato allies. i mean, it s the height of recklessness self-interest, and danger, and it s not a future that we can be confident in at all, it would undermine our security profoundly at a time when the world is a complicated place, when you are us ambassador to the un, you obviously dealt with nations whose leaders disregard laws, carry out vendettas against their political opponents when you hear don trump talking about getting revenge or retribution does that seem i mean that seem realistic to you? do you believe he would do that? i do believe he would do it. i believe we have if we have learned anything we should listen to what he says and what he does is often exactly what he says and sometimes worse we have in donald trump a leader who is not running to be the president of the american people he s running for his own self-interest to try to stay out of jail and that is incredibly worrying. and when he says that on day one, he intends to be a dictator, that he will come after his political opponents and anybody who has rubbed i m tim the wrong way. i take that very seriously and i think we all should susan rice. thank you for your time thank you. anderson. way up next to cnn exclusive. been wiedemann talks with hamas spokesman in beirut about the remaining hostages they are holding captive in gaza he asked them how many are still alive and why hamas is yet to agree to ceasefire. his responses coming up this is country is corrupt. we ve got to save it do some terrible things for the greater good we need you build. for the soup, start rounding this up and dumping us off in kansas show me, wrap that doesn t sound good. ashley?

you seem that count star from the beginning. let s start from beijing on. but one why to talk about the base of 7 october what about the israeli came after good luck to 7 october. it was a reaction against the occupation. what camps after that? it shows the real face of israel. it shows how israeli the cube buying the policy and lands demolishing the situation of the palestinians, killing the civilians. it s not the first time they are getting the civilians hamas is, is an organization. does it regret what it did on 7 october, given what happened afterwards? we are living with this for the last 75 years as palestine s yes now, cnn spoke to one of the doctors who treated the for israelis who were freed on saturday. and he said that they suffered mental and physical abuse. and what do you say when he is an israeli has to say what does lay authorities are asking him to say if you compare the images of both before and after releasing, you will find that they were better than before. i believe they have mental problem. this is because of what israel have done in gaza. but in addition to what has been said about the four recent hostages freed there have been also claims about the dire conditions others faced while in captivity. the fate of the remaining hostages hangs in the balance at the g7 summit in italy, us secretary of state antony blinken said, hoping hamas would agree to the latest us backed ceasefire proposal. response we got was unfortunately not the yes that we were looking for a yes that virtually the entire world has given. okay. mr. hamdan simple question. why hasn t hamas yet agreed officially to the us backed posel for a ceasefire who said it s a positive step but we need to see the facts on the ground. we need to know what exactly that president means by saying a ceasefire, i withdraw while what is left, what do you need we need an israeli ideally, a clear position from israel to accept the ceasefire, a complete withdrawal from gaza, and let the palestinians to determine their future by themselves are you optimistic at this point in time that you will reach some sort of agreement well, i think if the united states administration acted in the positive way, seeing the situation not only in the eyes of israel we can reach soon an agreement. and in the absence of an agreement, this war goes on with know site then i mean, this hamas leader justifies the october 7 attack by hamas. and as long as she had an others, which was a violation of an ongoing ceasefire, claimed, no one knows how many hostages are still alive. obviously there are people who know in hamas, any claims that the released, that the hostages who were freed just recently, the four hostages that they are actually better off than they were before they were taken into captivity. i mean, that s just absurd well, that s what he said, but you need to look at it through the lens of how it s been seen in the region anderson there lot of pictures circulating for before and after pictures circulating on social media of palestinian prisoners who d been freed from israeli jails hills the pictures show healthy people going in gaunt, sickly people looking out. no. mr. hamdan, like millions of other in this region are seeing the pictures of these for israelis who were recently freed from gaza, who on the surf base surface superficially looked to be okay. so that seems to be why he s saying this and we re hearing it from many other people as well. keep in mind also that osama hamdan is a political figure in hamas. he is involved in and then negotiating process, but he s not part of the military wing that holds the hostages in gaza, so he s probably not complete the up on the situation in there. and i think what you re hearing in that interview is more a reflection, perhaps social media then his knowledge of the specifics of the hostages themselves anderson, where she refuses even call hostages, but been wiedemann. thank you. appreciate it. we ll be right back three body serie a. city client uses city s financial expertise to help drive its growth and keep its supply chain moving some more pet parents can get everything they need, right when they need it keeping more pets and families happy for the love of moving our clients forward, for the love of progress grass whether you re moving across town or across the country now, you can count on pods to deliver when we say we will, which is why we were voted america s number one container moving company. hook your move today at pods.com, introducing new advil targeted relief. the only topical pain reliever with four powerful pain fighting ingredients that start working on contact to target tough pain at the source for up to eight hours of powerful relief new abdo targeted relief all these games on directv and no satellite on the roof. think about this blue jays cardinals orioles. what s missing?

[laughter] now the big, money may still go democrat but cracks are starting to form in there deeper then the ones influencing s face. it s no secret that the black and hispanic vote, mostly men, is shifting towards trump. was as smart national figures are now willing to come up about publicly for trump references robber 50-cent says he sees black men identifying with trump in the upcoming election because they ve got week-old charges. which means finally what is. [applause] focused recall partition of trump maybe the biggest backfire since joe forgot his lactose bills after a fight of heloise. [laughter] but don t take it for me. biggest arts have trump, the favorite to win their work and as a favorite to start in the walking dead. [laughter] meanwhile talking lizard james carville had the right he said this right before devouring a plate of sautéed worms. so if all the smart money and people are shifting to trump, who are the holdouts? meaning the people in our public life were well-informed enough to know better but still insist on backing a brain-dead biden? i ll tell you. is the rich and famous paralyzed by their own egos who look at trump with and b be. think about it. imagine being robert de niro or stephen king or howard stern or jimmy kimmel and you just got the memo that you aren t the center of the universe. and that memo is on donald trump letterhead mechanism of the working class being ignored is this elitist bozos. is this performance essential in their own right but trump makes them feel small. if you ve noticed, trump s largest credit are successful people who sent their own insignificance in this new world of trump limited feel like i do when taking a picture with iris. [laughter] it s also why has-beens like liz cheney, michael cohen and anthony carlucci are obsessed with taking trump down. there players in this movie hoping that seems dealing moments will come. but the most obvious example, like i closest to trump in temperament and personality, howard stern, as trump elevated, stern retreated, becoming a believer in the gospel of the six-foot distancing rule there can use covid to justify turning himself into glorious swanson the hold his 47 square-foot mention dictating to everyone how stupid and murderous they were for not having what he had. and what does stern have in common with jimmy kimmel? is the sense of the motion them if they realize the world does not revolve around them. a crushing realization if your ego is everything. right now, trump is more important than all of them combined and it s killing them. meanwhile, the smart but ego satisfied person whether it s elon musk or vivek ramaswamy or me [laughter] , we don t take it personally that trump maybe the most consequential human ally. of course, but it s because these people can think larger know the selection and, in fact, this nation are about more than just them. which is why they got their next out for trump and their middle fingers out to the media. meanwhile the ego tests have become extras in the film of their lives. and those who they once consider the extras have taken starring roles. that is the electorate. they can t believe that the great unwashed or not listening to them but instead this new leading man. and so they see trump and they ask, they ask, why could that be me one thing narcissists can t stand. being ignored on the world stage.

[cheering and applause] greg: joe, what you think of my theory because when you look at people successful across-the-board, there are sum that are totally fine some of them aren t and i have to believe it is this realization that after three or four code decades in the limelight after finding out that they re not the center of the universe. yeah. trump had an immediate ability to soak up all the air in any room. is incredible. is pretty funny when you have someone like james carville who looks like nosferatu coming out and saying i think biden is passed his prime, we have to move on but you have to admit at this point it for for joe biden is a vote for kabbalah. rose lemay get to the debates [applause] watching the normandy things. you don t look good. [cheering and applause] they can hard right it. they tried to get him his fancy hotels, they got him his footwork because why he was falling over. s 20 or because his body singling me by one to die this year. [laughter] so you. i think trump if you compare them, jill balser anything this is not good to watch. but trump comes out, it s not like someone asked a question about sharks and electric boats. but you had an answer ready. greg: exactly. here and answer ready! i don t know but i never look at the movie jaws and thought what if they had an extension cord. but i thought that s what is so hilarious what kind is getting stronger and he s getting more vital and he s got that energy. now i would like if there was some younger people that may be a freshfaced, 60-year-old. but i will would like if someone centimeter did your president i just would probably in th that. [laughter] greg: is 20 of the it s like no one really has thought about the choice between electrocution and being eaten by a short. the second person that i would like to have in the white house as opposed to somebody who creates fantasies about their uncle being eaten by cannibals. but what you think about the fact that, like, a lot of these people look at trump and they go okay i could ve done that in a can of mad that they didn t do it. think about that with mark even grandma and mark even had a problem with trump actually being not just a billionaire but also president and he still a billionaire. look at mark even and he won so many different hats. he went from being just a businessman to a sports team owner to really just being somebody that i think a lot of people at one point were able to relate to know if i completely different. myself included, i used to love mark even until now he s just inserted himself in to a different political conversation that he has no business in the best thing about also has 170 hats. and he was a businessman, is been a real estate investor. he has single to the point that it is today. it was, you know, on the apprentice, is a reality show star. is now, you know, the former president of the united states, hopefully so to be, you know, getting his second term here. but people just don t like that. they don t like the fact that you can say whatever is on his mind, that he does have a bit of an ego but you has a point in everything that he saying. if people understanding that and people are seeing the way to his being treated with this sham trial come all the convictions and people are now starting to relate to him and he is getting i think a lot of votes or at least people getting on board with him that maybe wouldn t have been at another point in time for latino votes of the blackbirds of the youngest, the silicon valley crew, and you see people turning out and drugs in the blue states are not even organize ral rallies. before deciding, you know, so we support trump in there to leave the support trump which is authenticity the democrats reactions is the best part about our because recalling a course master terrorist and things like that because they don t know what to do with themselves and especially the rally was assigned because this past weekend as a people showed up there like equities people must be hired on craigslist. is like, no, democrats, where they want to have to higher influencers to support you, not the conservatives. greg: jimmy, you have no shame. stop it. and even push back on because i look like you fact cowboy today. [laughter] i thought i look cool when i left my office then i got unsaid look at the monitors, i look like clean clint feast would. people do have egos. you know, annexing but trump has no sense of embarrassment. so he can actually you can control his ego. you can actually take risks. is this different kind of ego that i don t know what it is but it s not they cannot bear that he s doing this and they aren t. 1000% because in the quality they he is a fighter you know what i mean humor and is not the motorized by someone. and forget his whole entry into politics really started in 2012 when obama was looking at the white house correspondents dinner he got all the shots and got off the map ended on howard, okay,, wanted to be in politics. he ran for governor in new york. greg: that s right, i forgot stick with me. he was the guy whose ego batted himself the king of all media. but you has become so much less omnipotent than trump and he conveys a everything from howard stern is not the the prince harry of law okay but imagine that does kill him and this is the biggest thing and this is what s nuclear trump movement. because trump is garnering major support in the black community. and he went to the box permanently familiar financial by that black streak right thing matters okay 50 cents matters. he is a guy with a lot of influence, okay? you got shot nine times and did something more dangerous like sheep with chelsea handler, okay? but before but you had his shots. but that s not managed remotely time howard kimmel had black support is when they painted it onto their face. greg: that s true. greg: kat, why do celebrities in his general struggle s popularity? using bc poplar to allocate a finite pike? noah nelson it so i guess i have to. greg: what? it is funny to see you call out other people for having a big ego. [laughter] [cheering and applause] greg: thank you. greg: there was a chinese ego. and you would do that. you give pictures of yourself to other people for christmas. greg: that is a joke about my ego. okay. i honestly i don t think it really is i read about this in my new book limit people thank elaine and can be really hard for people to get out of that lane or even consider anything from any you don t want to listen to anybody else or any other opinions. but i think thing about stuff that s unprecedented like what happened here in new york with a conviction, and president elisa moore and precedented. i think when something because people do pension more but i feel people have also made a lot of money i think of him saying these things. and is this, trump s lack. people have families and expect them to see those things in my getting can also lead to people not wanting to consider something else than what they found has made a successful. greg: i do think some of them drive is also definitely true in some instances. greg: we ve got to move on. up next, no one is above the law unless it s hamas dribble you draw. [applause] announcer: if you ll be in the new york area and would like free tickets to go see gutfeld!, go to foxnews.com/gutfeld and click on the link to join our studio audience. so i can feel and see that my lines have gotten deeper just from a year out in the sun. i m still marie and i got botox® cosmetic. i did not want a dramatic change. i wanted something subtle. and i m really, really happy with the results. it s still me, but with fewer lines. botox® cosmetic is fda approved to temporarily make frown lines, crow s feet, and forehead lines look better. the effects of botox® cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness may be a sign of a life-threatening condition. do not receive botox® cosmetic if you have a skin infection. side effects may include allergic reactions, injection site pain, headache, eyebrow, eyelid drooping, and eyelid swelling. tell your doctor about your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, and medications, including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. see for yourself at botoxcosmetic.com. is coming your way. hey, hey. it s video of the day! [cheering and applause] greg: it s okay to break a statue but mess with pride and they ll come right at y you. there was a nice rhyme or a radio that he comes to us from america s capital/arm pit, washington dc were hundreds of anti- israel them as traitors refilled outside white house the facings that suit and harassing cops. remember though is dc so half of the more robbed and murdered leader that day. roll it! everyone: [chanting] greg: shocking to see. imagine trashing america and destroying property without receiving any course credit. [laughter] they also chanted deeply f. joe biden so it makes sense that this attack the statue because it s less only thing less mobile then the president. bedene for this event going on since october 7th. regular yard riots there were no repercussions, no arrests. but we have no as punishment gold out or withheld based on viewpoint. meanwhile the insane case in spokane, three teens riding writings koopers led left skid marks on her painted a sidewalk mural and they were arrested and charged with first-degree malicious mischief. sure what does that tell you? well there is when the museum vandalism the media condemns an vandalism that they protect. so you can t deface a problem pride mural but feel free to draw a hitler mustache on jesse mark jesse watters fa face. by the way, that is not a comparison is actually an order. [laughter] [applause] all right. i think what upsets me most is the harassment of the park ranger, jimmy. yeah. greg: park rangers are like the most likable people on the planet. they there like eagle scouts with a salary. if you harass if you harass a park ranger that you should get the death penalty by their. by bear. [applause] dave plotted two jokes about the death penalty. this audience what do you make about i know it s in our comparison because kids get charged for writing riding scores over up yard mural but you can destroy property i m surprised engoron did not do more than a century because he went to start went to high school most of those guys. [laughter] greg: socially. in the near that guy - s personal. that such events move, bitch wu derek cease my language, to go after an unarmed garlic that. i wonder if this is protection but there s this other thing that you know is true when we think talk about the right arrest in spokane. certain kondas have as righteous and okay. and when it comes to the pride thing that is why they went to jail and got arrested him and the reason these guys are in because the left has cosign this movement that s the double standard thing that speaks to a collective lack of civic pride okay everyone should be mad if our sacred monuments are being defiled because there is a middle finger to all of us. so i don t know. beat your kids, i don t know what else to say. [laughter] the one violence. greg: is not just capital punishment is corporal punishment dealing. you know, an interesting thing about the pride mural i think it s like, vandalism is bad that i think the facing a pride mural bad. think it s interesting that nobody had pointed out that these are teenagers being charged with a felony for this. and facing ten years for this? which i thought we were becoming more progressive on criminal justice reform and having concerns about over criminalization of this is to me a very clear example of an overcoming elaboration i would say, for having that to be a panel felony for teenagers facing ten years so i hope it doesn t go there. i hope you actually don t serve ten years for that because that s how people become more radicalized too. is how people become radicalized. yeah, when you overdo in the punishment area. it gives me an idea though, charlie. arm going to start putting christ but because the nine oh one ben alistair macgregor to pay my entire house a giant rainbow and then when there s okay and he was right of my house will remain standing. here s the thing, you would have to s before oh thank you. [laughter] it is pride months. you had her colorful gucci back in there and all the different colors you carry all times of the days before no one will steal that. you are ahead of but that s the thing about these anti- israel protesters is they just have i mean the biggest balls of them all because they know nothing is going to happen. is middle of the day of the facing history family know the people are filming them on their phones and they just don t care because they know nothing is going to be done. they are completely safe from anything meanwhile you have the scooter writers who cited to commit the crime i 130 clock in the morning because at least, you know, if he ever do something wrong and we in the middle of the night where you might not get hot. with the democrats have a rule. no one is allowed to live! leave skid marks but biden. [laughter] [cheering and applause] greg: poop joke! during! poop joke! everybody gets if we drink. here s another comparison between protests. for life parade in dc mark one kid everywhere because it seemed like he had offended other minority group and turnout was a reverse. this is lower in the news, you can find the story of the potus anywhere. first of all minutes on the case case with e-scooters i was outraged because it was in people having fun and i just made me angry. i m old and bitter. but i think were kind of anything to hate mark if you read the over the they re saying this file vile act of hatred. look at other things the work that at the israel protesters had to do, had to climb up the statue, that you delete a mobile. meanwhile these kids left scarred something was on the road? and they re looking at jail? it s insane because look, i understand what the purpose of pride had been. you had a group of people who were told to be ashamed of themselves and they said we don t want to live that way. and everybody was on board with that. and want to hear people say what about straight pride? because you want to know about straight pride kill take a look at my browser history and will never ask what straight people to be brought up again, okay? [laughter] by is the unfair application, like, returned were going to talk about equality applicable two crimes mechanic grammar is so much more so much worse and no one is doing anything that you have a little bit pleasing that a municipal supreme court and that is not a quantity of equity and it s not sustainable because like kat said people will start to push back. greg: exactly and i think you re going to push back on november fifth.

[laughter] greg: my husband is italian mlk you have and i do. [laughter] i you think is just banging the makeup lady? what? did you hear photos? woefully well maybe he is. greg: so maybe he s not. what to be the reason. want to know the reason. i think went to get into it it s like! immediately think i needed anything. it can be okay his spiraling and skincare. greg: of her the happening. you get used to the sensation of it. i sleep in the top of let s go connor i say. is a corruption? right, is a corruption or is it merely an? we don t know. and said she needed to get a haircut because she needs to look good. i mean, now okay i think people said whatever you need to spend, the sky s the limit. [laughter] i said good for him. but in chicago most makeup expenses like that are reserved for open caskets. [laughter] we ll resume at local the reason the locals are upset is because chicago he normally steal because manner, you know what i mean? does justice that reality. greg: but you don t like my open casket joke? i mean i mean all of us is i a lot of money in dc as a kid and this is better than what marianne and barry mark i guess i have to give them that. mary and barry able to come back from being caught on crack okay there is this guy made hunter biden look like richie cunningham. whether that pop in my head? you got to move on grandma coming up, she s a star on the fever but the that team u.s.a. said leave her.

[laughter] okay. this i don t know why she wasn t on the team. i know a lot i don t get it. it if it makes you feel any better because i don t recognize the names of anyone else on the team except for brittney griner. and that s not because she s good at basketball so much as okay backpacking. [laughter] good job. greg: all right. charlie, you re gonna like this portly the year. there be a legit reason for this omission or is it political or social or cultural? is social. they re just jealous of caitlin clark and all the eyeballs she had on her. nobody cares about the wnba. there they care about caitlin clark but with that being said caitlin clark is able to bring somebody only eyeballs to the wnba, she would bring manual millions more viewers to the women s basketball games in the earth olympics carolyn it s really sad. caitlin clark certainly deserves to be the. it s not unheard her back by any stretch to have an exceptional rookie player neolithic team. greg: she s iraqi, that s why. it s not wise before a string to see what their excuse might be, you know what i m saying? i think one of their season has been made was that she missed one of the workouts because she was in the championship tournament when she was still in iowa. maybe there maybe there could have been white but yellow say or she might be an alternate on the team but we know the alternates aren t going to place before she could if she would have been outgunned and the team if she had a penis.
