It may be hot and humid afternoon pretty much across the board had plenty of sunshine. These are the temperatures over the next few hours, the low 30s celsius widely across england and wales particularly in the south, but are much hotter day across parts of scotland, 29 30d there. One thing to point out, uv levels as you probably heard, very high across southern parts of britain, unusually high. Its going to be high wherever you are so its going to be high wherever you are so take extra care over the next few hours where the sun will be strongest. As we enter the day many places will be fine. We start to increase the chance of thunderstorms developing, clusters moving northwards, some of them could be torrential with large hail and frequent lightening. Most places are warm, muggy, and uncomfortable night on the cards. Into tomorrow, subtle changes taking place. We start to see some hit and miss torrential thunderstorm is developing. Not eve ryo ne thunderstorm is developing. Not everyone will get them, its difficult to pinpoint where they will be but through friday morning well see a cluster moving northwards across england and wales, pushing into scotland and behind it as the heat and humidity picks up again into the afternoon well start to see some individual systems developing stop they will be torrential if you catch them, large hailand torrential if you catch them, large hail and frequent lining. Not quite as hot tomorrow as today but nonetheless central and eastern areas will be warm and humid, the high 20s celsius. Big changes into the weekend. Low pressure takes over and brings bands of rain, lots of isobars on the charts as well coming in from the west or the north west, that will bring stronger winds and also much cooler air. This is that they picture, a lot more cloud around, a blustery day, showers, longer spells of rain particularly affecting northern and western areas. The best of the sunshine across the midlands and to the south east where we could make 21 or 22 degrees, significantly cooler elsewhere, generally the high teens celsius. A cooler night to come saturday night and into sunday, it could be a windy day in central and Northern Areas they could be winds touching gale force in exposed places. Plenty of rain across the north west of the country particularly in scotland. Sunshine in the south but feeling much cooler and fresherfor all. Hello, im jane dougall with your latest sports news. Its been confirmed that the ethiad will be the venue for Manchester City and liverpools upcoming fixture. A neutral stadium had been considered to stop fans from gathering outside. Well, tonight liverpools 30 year wait for the title could be over. Theyll be crowned League Champions if Manchester City fail to beat chelsea at Stamford Bridge later. Last night, Jurgen Klopps side delivered the goods with a convincing 4 0 win over crystal palace. Klopp says hell be watching the tv tonight to see if Manchester City drop points, otherwise his side could take the title at their next fixture, ironically at city next week. John barnes was top scorer when liverpool last won the league in 1990, he says the current side will want to secure the league as quickly as possible. If you were definitely going to win the league in manchester by beating them and we were guaranteed to do that, i would rather do that. But theres no guarantee of that. So if you are asking me now, i would much rather Manchester City draw or lose then weve already won, but as you said if we would rather win it at manchester, yes we would rather win it at man city, but if we asay that we go there and they beat us then we didnt win it at man city so i want it as soon as possible. Adam peaty has criticised the governments decision not to allow swimming pools to re open as part of the latest round of lockdown changes. Pubs, restaurants and hairdressers can open in england from the 11th ofjuly, but ministers say indoor gyms and leisure centres will have to wait until at least the middle of next month. Peaty, whos an olympic breaststroke champion, says that decision doesnt make sense. Its doesnt make sense. A very tough decision. The government its a very tough decision. The government have a lot of tough decisions to make that once pubs open i think one of those should be the last thing is to open because obviously what people are like when they have a drink, they get more social and theres nothing wrong with that, it is just like, why are the pills not being added as well . For me, dont get it twisted, i Love Hospitality im going to pubs and restau ra nts, hospitality im going to pubs and restaurants, but it almost feels like there needs to be an explosion while these places are not being open. Oh swimming pools. The pga tour has confirmed the travelers championship will go ahead in connecticut as scheduled, despite several players and caddies testing positive for covid 19 ahead of the event. Former world no1 Brooks Koepka and Graeme Mcdowell both pulled out as a precaution after their caddies tested positive. Our golf correspondent iain carter joins us now and iain, this shows just how difficult it is to keep tournaments going whilst were still in the middle of a pandemic. It shows how difficult it is to keep tournaments going while were still in the middle of a pandemic . Thats right. We have seen in all five players withdraw from this weeks event which is under way in connecticut. Due to covid 19 related reasons on top of caddies testing positive, the player who actually tested positive on arrival and another who has a Family Member who is suffering with covid 19. Five players out of field here, we had reminders from the commissioner of the pga tour yesterday of the player responsibilities because people have noted a lax attitude towards social distancing in the first two events and serious repercussions are threatened for anyone breaching the protocols that have been put in place. They have been toughened up as well and that i say, the tournament is now under way. Thank you very much. Ill have more for you in the next hour. We will start with a pandemic. Morbidly obese patients are twice as likely to die from covid 19 than those who are not overweight, according to research by Public Health england. Campaigners say the pandemic should be seen as an opportunity to help people who are overweight. Fiona trott sent us this report from the north east of england, which has the highest number of obesity related hospital admissions in the country. It was a bit frightening because i thought, what is the correlation between obesity and covid 19. You start listening to the reports and you hear that people overweight are more risk and then you think, how serious the pandemic is. We know obesity is strongly associated with deprivation, so its no surprise that the north east which has high levels of deprivation has also got high levels of being overweight and obesity. Herfirst walk alone during this pandemic. Michelle knows she is at risk and has been afraid to go out. During lockdown, she has also gained weight, and that worries her. This is the furthest ive been from home, by myself. Its been very hard getting fresh fruit and veg at the supermarkets. Its a lot better now, but at the beginning it was very difficult. My husband would go and do the shopping to get items and having to go down the next day, but its a lot easier ordering takeaway is. Plus with my stress and anxiety i do a lot of comfort eating, but i know its got to stop. Its got to stop. Michelle is not alone. The north east has the highest rate of obesity related hospital admissions in england and almost a quarter of children starting secondary school are obese. Ben used to weigh 20 stone. I never really know what time im going to getting, im going to get in from the pub, so it dead easy to pop in and get a chinese meal or pop into the fish and chip shop. He lost weight through a Fitness Programme at sunderland football club. The pandemic makes him want to lose more. I think its got to make you think about your lifestyle and changing and things. The pandemic to me, it has changed me in a way that i never thought i would change, but i have. And being locked in the house is horrendous, so i think the exercise was an excuse to get out of the house as well. Helping people lose weight is something a local nhs trust is trying to do. It was so concerned about obesity it appointed a specialist consultant in Public Health. Obesity is complex, so so many factors go into it, not just the clinical aspects, but the social and environmental factors which mean the nhs, the hospital on its own, cant address this problem and it really needs everybody going in the same direction, so that is Central Government but also the nhs, the local authority, the communities themselves all working together towards it. Hi, caroline, how are you . But campaigners say the government hasnt done enough. Two years on and nothing has done and these policies have been left to languish and are no closer to becoming reality and in the meantime, the number of children and adults living with obesity has increased. And this should really be a catalyst now for the government to finally step up, take some action and help create an environment that makes it easier for everyone, adults and children, to be healthier. The department for health says it is working with local councils to tackle child obesity and has made huge progress already by cutting sugar from half of all drinks on sale. Being vulnerable to covid 19 has changed michelles outlook. Coming out of the pandemic, i feel the future, for me, is positive, its bright. I will lose weight. My grandkids are still young and i want to be there a long time for them. Royal mail has announced plans to cut 2,000 management jobs, as part of a plan to save £130 million. The company said its been too slow to adapt to the drop in the number of letters being sent and the growth in parcels. Royal mail says frontline postal staff are unlikely to be affected. Relations between israel and the palestinians have been strained in recent weeks, after israel announced plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank. The decision led to both sides stopping co operation on many security and civil matters, including medical travel permits. And the palestinians say that is now putting the lives of hundreds of people at risk, as yolande knell reports. Crying. Myras in constant pain. Cancer has blinded her in one eye and the tumour is spreading. She needs an israeli permit to leave gaza for specialist surgery abroad. But the Palestinian Office that should help her is no longer working. She is my daughter, not a dog, she is a child, her mother, mariam, says. Where are the childrens rights . The human rights . Last year, it was crowded when we visited this Cancer Centre at a palestinian hospital in eastjerusalem. Today, each empty seat represents someone who could not get here. Palestinian leaders have stopped cooperating with israel because of its plans to annex land they want for the future state. But when it comes to medical care, that is leaving their own people suffering. Anyone coming for treatment from the west bank or gaza has got to have israeli permission and security clearance. Those from gaza, which is ruled by hamas militants, face the tightest restrictions and hospitals there lack equipment and drugs. Without the Palestinian Authority making the connection and paying the bill, hundreds of people are stuck. But in this childrens ward, there is some positive news. Osama has leukaemia. This doctor and the team here worked around the clock to bring him from gaza with his mother, but they cannot do that for every patient. I spent two hours talking to many people to explain how it is critical and life saving for this child to reach this hospital, so it is not easy and i can say that if this child did not get this referral, he will die waiting for, you know. One day is critical for acute leukaemia. Doctors say he now has very good odds of surviving. Meanwhile, other palestinian patients like little myra remain unable to get treatment, caught up in the politics. Yolande knell, bbc news, eastjerusalem. Could Vladimir Putin stay in office until 2036 . Well, voting has begun in russia on constitutional changes which would allow him to do so. If the public back the measures, mr putin could rule for another 16 years. Voting began this morning. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, it will continue into july. The pandemic seems to have had an effect on mr putins popularity, as our moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford explains. Coronavirus hasnt helped with that at all. Certainly some of the independent polling here has suggested that mr putins Approval Rating is down to around 59 , which of course in a western democracy might not sound too bad, but its not great for Vladimir Putin. And i think hes aware that things arent going to get better here, particularly economically. The impact of coronavirus and oil prices are all having an effect, notjust on the economy but on the public mood. So i think thats why the kremlins so keen for this vote to happen now. Otherwise you might wonder why on earth hold a vote in the middle of a pandemic. Mr putin already postponed this vote from april. It was supposed to happen towards the end of april. Its happening now. And in fact because of the pandemic its been spread over an entire week instead ofjust one day, so there is early voting beginning today. People can head to the polling stations across the country from today, but the big final day will be onjuly the 1st. But i think what the kremlin really hopes for this vote is that it can get as many people to turn out as possible, because this is really a vote where mr putin wants the legitimacy, the mandate, of a big turnout, people coming out in force to approve many changes to the constitution, including this key one which would allow him to stay on until 2036. The headlines on bbc news. Questions over coronavirus antibody tests. Theyre being rushed out, according to a group of doctors. New york, newjersey and connecticut have asked people travelling from states where covid 19 cases are rising to go into self isolation for 1h days.
