secretary, the charities have called for relatives to be designated key workers — to enable them to be regularly tested for coronavirus, which would allow them to visit their relatives. sanchia berg reports. safety first is the understandable policy for care homes. socially distance visits are welcome but nothing like what some patients used to have. now charities say family pa rents to have. now charities say family parents should be designated key workers so they can come back. we are asking for them to have regular testing, had ppa and be able to come m, testing, had ppa and be able to come in, visit, support and care for loved ones alongside the care home staff. —— ppe. family carers are there to provide help with feeding and encourage them to take medication. all of this lack of contact with family carers has led to deterioration in symptoms with this group. this was the closest judy glad men could get to her mother when she recently visited her ca re mother when she recently visited her care home in pant. —— gladman. she says she could give her mother the extra level of contact, it would make a big difference. we can talk through the bars and perhaps do some knitting that she is not being mentally stimulated. we cannot interact enough because of the physical distancing really. it will make a huge difference to her, basically, because she would be seeing me, my husband and perhaps my cousin regularly. she would be much more mentally stimulated. it would probably help their power home as well. care homes say caution is essential and some could not accommodate the many key workers. —— the care home as well. what happens if you have 50 beds and you have 50 people wanting to come in? the government has promised detailed guidance shortly. long overdue say families, charities and care homes. the other uk nations have already published it. following months of coronavirus lockdown, restrictions across the uk are continuing to ease. in england, beauty salons and tattooists can reopen from monday, while gyms and indoor swimming pools can open onjuly 25th. it has just been announced that purpose, cafe restaurants and bars can open in wales from the 1st of august provided coronavirus cases continue to full. in northern ireland, james welcomed back customers this morning. but first, lorna gordon reports from scotland, where it is now compulsory to wear a face covering in shops. she is wearing one, they are wearing them too, and from today, most people with the exception of young children and those with certain medical conditions, will have to wear a face covering while shopping in scotland or they'll be breaking the law. i think it's something that we'll just have to get used to the foreseeable future. anything that's going to help stop the spread, i absolutely agree with. so wearing a mask into a shop or a confined space, i'm happy to do that. you've got a mask with you just now, so you'll be wearing it in the shop? yes, home—made mask, yes. is this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are now being allowed to meet outdoors as long as physical distancing remains. that will also apply to limited indoor gatherings which are now allowed and can include overnight stays. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail, as long as a strict conditions are in place to lower risk. many shops have already put in mitigating measures to protect their customers and staff. in this children's shoe shop, there are now protective screens in place. they are hopeful people will get on—board with these latest changes to the way they shop. obviously, for children under five, we wouldn't be asking them to wear a mask. for an adult, we would pretty much be insisting on wearing masks, and i do have a spare mask in the shop. and they are not in here for a long time, i think it's quite an airy environment, so i'm hoping that, yes, i'm hoping that they will adhere to the guidelines. scotland's first minister has warned that anyone not complying risks a £60 fine. wearing a face covering on a bus, train or in a shop, should for the foreseeable future become as automatic as putting on a seat belt in a car. it should not need to be enforced, but the police can issue fines for anyone not complying. as restrictions ease and normal life resumes, the risk of the virus spreading will increase. the scottish government believes face coverings are an important part of the measures to try and make sure that doesn't happen. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. lockdown has tested people's endurance in different ways. but now, warming up and working out is back. gyms in northern ireland are open again, ahead of the rest of the uk. oh, it's brilliant to be back. it really helps everyone's mental health when they're in the gym. i've really, really missed it. i never thought that i'd say that i'd missed being at the gym, but i really miss notjust the exercise but also the community spirit. i was a bit nervous last night about coming back but so glad to be back now. treadmills are being pounded, routines are being resumed, and weights are being lifted again after more than 100 days. everyone's taking great care to stay within the new rules. every other machine is switched off, to help people keep two metres apart. and users are wiping down equipment after they've finished. gym owners say gym goers are adapting. we have cleaning stations, at every corner at every opportunity of the gym. a lot of staff walking about, making sure everyone is social distancing. we're just here to support the people and make sure the experience is a good one. the fitness industry i think is going to have a big comeback from this. the mental— health side of it is going to be a big, big reality for people and i think the fitness industry is going to do very, very well for this as you can see. fitness programmes are being picked up where they were left off. but the last few months have been tough going for personal trainers, who have had to draw on their inner strength. it was hard to see the end of the tunnel, as i'm honest, as a personal trainer. if you had have told me, we would be in lockdown for four months and without a job, i would not have said i would have came out the other end if i'm honest. we are all glad to be back now but it was a strange time, a strange four months for everyone. the times are becoming a little less strange today. some more restrictions are being eased, cinemas are reopening, as are playgrounds and amusement arcades. life is becoming more active here is the transmission rate of the virus remains low. chris page, bbc news, belfast. the first minister of wales mark drakeford has set out dates for a large number of businesses to come out of lockdown over the next three weeks. our correspondent tomos morgan is at oxwich on the gower peninsular. tell us more about what is in store. from tomorrow, hotels and self—contained accommodation will begin reopening in wales. the major announcement from the press conference today is setting a date for indoor restaurants, pubs and cafe is to reopen. he said they can reopen from the first as long as rates begin to decline. many of the businesses we have been speaking to so businesses we have been speaking to so realistically they might not have an outdoor space or it might be very limited, and they had been waiting for the date to be announced. that will no doubt be a relief to many of the businesses across wales will stop there has been a huge nest in the announcement half an hour ago of businesses that can reopen in the next couple of weeks. —— a huge list. there can be a fitness class outside of up to 30 people. the following week, playgrounds will be able to open. on the 27th, museums and cinemas will be able to reopen. the other thing mark drakeford has also said, the two metre social distancing rule will remain in place in wales but as nail salons and beauty spots continue to reopen on the 27th, might not be feasible. as long as they can maintain high hygiene standards, they can reopen. the main news is that wales has finally set a date on the indoor hospitality sector to reopen and that would be from the 3rd of august. dame vera lynn, who died last month at the age of 103, has been honoured with a flypast over her home village in sussex. hundreds of people gathered in ditchling to pay their respects before her funeral. duncan kennedy is in ditchling. well, jane, this is the place that dame vera called home for something like 50 years. and hundreds of those villagers came out today to pay their respects. as you said, she was described as the forces sweetheart and that's why members of the army, the air force and the navy all took pa rt the air force and the navy all took part in today's events to say farewell to dame vera lynn. the final journey for dame vera lynn. it was a village that came out, but it was a nation saying farewell. dame vera's daughter, virginia, walked with the cortege, past friends and neighbours. traffic stopped, memories were plentiful. it's a very special day. dame vera lynn living in the village, all the locals knew her and it is going to be a very sad day. obviously very iconic who she is. she was a heroine, absolute heroine, yeah, yeah. at noon, a battle of britain memorial flight soared over the village. three passes on behalf of the air force, army and navy, dame vera's life forever intertwined with the armed forces. # when the lights go....# it was the aching cadence of her sonorous voice that helped vera lynn comfort millions during a moment of supreme national peril. from radio audiences at home... to concert performances before and after the war, her allure was an innocent charm, mixed with songs for the age. it is a day of sadness, because we have lost dame vera, her death will leave a great gap in our community. of course, in the whole nation, she was loved and cherished by so many people. the cortege then moved onto a private funeral at a crematorium near brighton. there, the tri—service solemnity became part of the day. in dover, the famous white cliffs have been turned into a canvas of gratitude. a projection of recollections. dame vera lynn, a symbol of resilience, a voice of hope and inspiration for a nation that today said goodbye. well, the funeral service is continuing to take place in brighton, just a small group of family and friends, socially distanced, for some readings and the music by dame vera herself. the full memorial service will take place at a later date. duncan kennedy in sussex, thank you. the time is1.20pm. our top story this lunchtime. travellers arriving in the uk for dozens travellers arriving in the uk for d oze ns of travellers arriving in the uk for dozens of countries are no longer required to quarantine for two weeks after rules are relaxed for people coming from more than 60 areas. and on the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain — the story of the 13—year—old girl who helped design the spitfire so crucial to the allies' victory. formula 1 heads into the second race weekend of the season in austria, where racing points sergio perez was fastest in first practice. johnny depp has been giving evidence for a fourth day in his libel case johnny depp has been shown a series of photographs that his former wife amber heard say were from an assault by the hollywood actor. johnny depp has been giving evidence for a fourth day in his libel case against the sun newspaper, about allegations he was violent towards his then wife amber heard. our correspondent david sillito has sent this report. johnny depp arriving for a fourth day of questioning about his turbulent relationship with his former wife, amber heard. his case for libel against the publishers of the sun was triggered by an article that described johnny depp as a wife—beater. in court, johnny depp was questioned about the description of amber heard's claims of physical abuse as, an elaborate hoax. he was shown photographs that he says show that she says show marks sustained by an assault, an assault that he says didn't happen. these photographs are amongst a number that have been released, showing what amber heard says our injuries caused row in december 2015. johnny depp says, their heads collided whilst she was swinging at him but he denies striking or assaulting amber heard. he was questioned about a row that took place a few weeks later, on her birthday. it was put to him... news group newspapers say there is overwhelming evidence that johnny depp assaulted amber heard. johnny depp says it's all a fabrication. the photos, the testimony, a carefully compiled dossierfor what's been described as an elaborate hoax. david sillito, bbc news. a bbc investigation has found there have been more than 160 cases of sports coaches engaging in sexual activity with a 16 or 17—year—old in their care, over the last four years. it's prompted campaigners to say the law must now be changed. the charity the nspcc has renewed calls for a legal loophole to be closed, to ban anyone who has a position of power over a child from having a sexual relationship with them. laura scott has this exclusive report. what's the difference between a teacher and a sports coach? my teacher and a sports coach? my teacher can't have sex with me but my sports coach can. it's an area of law that's been a subject to scrutiny. this nspcc campaign is calling to any adult in a position of power over 17 or 16—year—old to be banned from having a sexual relationship with them. i spoke to a young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents age. young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents agelj young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents age. i met jeff, my swimming coach, through our local swimming coach when i was at primary school age. things changed quite dramatically looking back, i would say, when i turned 16. one day, he gave me a hug. it got more physical, he would ask me not to tell anyone because people would judge us. i trusted hisjudgment and ta ke judge us. i trusted hisjudgment and take on things, and that he was an aduu take on things, and that he was an adult i'd known for a long time, and almost talked myself out of the fact that i felt uncomfortable with it. the sexual offences act prohibits certain professions such as teachers and social workers from engaging in sexual activity with a child in their care, even if they are over their care, even if they are over the age of consent. it doesn't apply to sports coaches outside of school settings, driving instructors or faith leaders. across the 131 councils in england and wales that responded to our freedom of information request, there were 1481 cases since 2016 involving sexual activity with a 16 or 17—year—old, bya activity with a 16 or 17—year—old, by a person potentially in a position of trust that would not fall under the sexual offences act. 164 cases related to sports cases or adults who worked in sport. as far back as 2017, the department for digital, culture media and sport announced there would be a change to the law but this hasn't happened and it's been kept under review ever since. now mps have renewed calls for there to be action. there is a gaping legal loophole that perpetrators of child abuse are walking straight into. i've been raising this with government for six yea rs raising this with government for six years now, and my frustration is that we keep on having reviews, and in those intervening years, while the government hasn't acted and has just had consultation after consultation, more children have had their lives wrecked by sports coaches. the ministry ofjustice says it will set out its plans for legislation in due course. sports coaches and teachers shaped children plasma careers and often spend solitary and intense time with them. the law treats them differently. laura scott, bbc news. the west indies batsmen have continued to frustrate england on the third morning of the first test in england. this is a site that the cricket deserved, loose deserved, blue this is a site that the cricket deserved, blue sky are beautiful if long as you're winning. day three seemed pivotal. success could be a question of centimetres. england only had a small total to defend, wickets needed to come quickly. the bowlers knew that, the captain knew that. kraigg brathwaite is the kind of batsmen who efficiently and effectively accumulates runs, exactly what the west indies needed and quickly there were signs that england were becoming frustrated. this cricket ground is isolated from the world. you can almost imagine the world. you can almost imagine the buyer seeking a bubble surrounding it. but the action will be followed in the caribbean. as jofra archer bowled fast, and shai hope deflected the ball to the boundary. so flowed the play. what could increase england? irritation? look at this. hope out lbw before the replay revealed archer's but over the ball, which means no bull, no wicket, which means try again, or try something different. dom bess slow bowling, ben stokes say fans in england had something. ben stokes decided to bowl himself, kraigg brathwaite did his thing is, 60 and west indies going strong but stokes will keep trying and there was kraigg brathwaite out lbw, really. well, this is a test. an american sprinter appeared to have obliterated the world record for the men's 200 metres only have discovered he ran 15 metres less than he should have. noah lyles powered across the line in 18.9 seconds, considerably better than the safest ever time set price usain bolt. let's listen to the incredulous commentary. that cannot be right, that cannot be right!|j was saying the exact same thing!m turned out it wasn't, the reason, the organisers had put his starting blocks in the wrong place. it was a victory that became one of the defining moments of the second world war, and the nazis' first defeat. today marks 80 years since the start of the battle of britain. the spitfire was one of the iconic aircraft that took part, and now the raf has recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane's design. sophie raworth reports. newsreel: way up in the sky, there are messerschmitt, junkers, heinkels or dorniers that are going to get the thrashing of their lives. july 1940 and nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids in what became known as the battle of britain. but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend these shores in their spitfires and hurricanes. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition — most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help — his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things. and, of course, they were taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. it's amazing that history hangs on so fine a thread, isn't it? you know, if she'd got the calculations wrong or she hadn't been asked to help and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934, was the result of hazel‘s calculations. with eight guns firing, the fighters typically had just two seconds to hit their target before pulling away. they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes — just 250 yards away — to stand a chance of shooting them down.

17—year—old in their care, over the last four years. it's prompted campaigners to say the law must now be changed. the charity the nspcc has renewed calls for a legal loophole to be closed, to ban anyone who has a position of power over a child from having a sexual relationship with them. laura scott has this exclusive report. what's the difference between a teacher and a sports coach? my teacher and a sports coach? my teacher can't have sex with me but my sports coach can. it's an area of law that's been a subject to scrutiny. this nspcc campaign is calling to any adult in a position of power over 17 or 16—year—old to be banned from having a sexual relationship with them. i spoke to a young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents age. young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents agelj young swimmer, whose instructor was close to her parents age. i met jeff, my swimming coach, through our local swimming coach when i was at primary school age. things changed quite dramatically looking back, i would say, when i turned 16. one day, he gave me a hug. it got more physical, he would ask me not to tell anyone because people would judge us. i trusted hisjudgment and ta ke judge us. i trusted hisjudgment and take on things, and that he was an aduu take on things, and that he was an adult i'd known for a long time, and almost talked myself out of the fact that i felt uncomfortable with it. the sexual offences act prohibits certain professions such as teachers and social workers from engaging in sexual activity with a child in their care, even

digital, culture media and sport announced there would be a change to the law but this hasn't happened and it's been kept under review ever since. now mps have renewed calls for there to be action. there is a gaping legal loophole that perpetrators of child abuse are walking straight into. i've been raising this with government for six yea rs raising this with government for six years now, and my frustration is that we keep on having reviews, and in those intervening years, while the government hasn't acted and has just had consultation after consultation, more children have had their lives wrecked by sports coaches. the ministry ofjustice says it will set out its plans for legislation in due course. sports coaches and teachers shaped children plasma careers and often spend solitary and intense time with them. the law treats them differently. laura scott, bbc news. the west indies batsmen have continued to frustrate england on the third morning of the first test in england. this is a

listen to the incredulous commentary. that cannot be right, that cannot be right!|j was saying the exact same thing!m turned out it wasn't, the reason, the organisers had put his starting blocks in the wrong place. it was a victory that became one of the defining moments of the second world war, and the nazis' first defeat. today marks 80 years since the start of the battle of britain. the spitfire was one of the iconic aircraft that took part, and now the raf has recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane's design. sophie raworth reports. newsreel: way up in the sky, there are messerschmitt, junkers, heinkels or dorniers that are going to get the thrashing of their lives. july 1940 and nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids in what became known as the battle of britain. but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend these shores in their spitfires and hurricanes. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we didn't know until now was the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter plane had originally been designed with just four machine guns. but this man, captain fred hill, a scientific officer in the air ministry, became convinced that four guns would not be enough. each plane needed eight. he faced stiff opposition — most thought eight guns would be too many, impossible to fit on the planes. but captain hill was convinced he was right, so he turned to an unlikely person for help — his 13—year—old daughter, hazel, a talented mathematician. together, around their kitchen table, they worked through the night on complex calculations to prove that eight guns firing at least 1,000 rounds a minute was essential for success. they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat, working very long hours, because they were really dedicated to these things. and, of course, they were taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. it's amazing that history hangs on so fine a thread, isn't it? you know, if she'd got the calculations wrong or she hadn't been asked to help and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what would have happened? this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934, was the result of hazel‘s calculations. with eight guns firing, the fighters typically had just two seconds to hit their target before pulling away. they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes — just 250 yards away — to stand a chance of shooting them down.
