toil as west indies take control on day three of the first test in southampton. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. there are new, disturbing revelations tonight concerning two troubled hospitals at the centre of a baby deaths scandal, potentially dating back several decades. an independent review into claims that children and mothers died, or were permanently harmed by care failures, at telford's princess royal and the royal shrewsbury hospital, is now looking at 300 more cases, taking the total to 1500 over a a0 year period. it comes after the care quality commission again raised concerns about wider hospital services at the shrewsbury and telford hospital nhs trust. 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan has this exclusive report. when you have got a child, you know what you have missed out on, you know what you have lost, their first word, theirfirst know what you have lost, their first word, their first tooth. know what you have lost, their first word, theirfirst tooth. you know what has been taken from you. ca rly‘s two what has been taken from you. carly‘s two daughters are too young to fully appreciate they had an older sister. keely was born in 2010, but died after 31 hours. staff at the royal shrewsbury hospital failed to spot that she had pneumonia. carly said her concerns about her daughter's greyish colour we re about her daughter's greyish colour were ignored. she was told all was well and sent home. and it was still the best day of my life. i woke up with my husband and my daughter and had a family. and then the next day came... the... i saw her eyes roll, and that was it. she was just, that was, she was gone then. keeley's death is now being examined as part of the largest ever inquiry into maternity care at the nhs. they have discovered a 300 new cases were recently identified by the trust, dating from 2000 till 2011, bringing the total in review to around 1500. in april 2017, we reveal a cluster of 23 maternity cases were to be investigated by an independent inquiry. as more families came forward , inquiry. as more families came forward, in august 2018, the review was widened to cover a longer period of time. in november 2019, a leaked interim report found a catalogue of failings and a toxic culture at the trust between 1979 and 2017. last week, west murcia police said it had started a criminal investigation into maternity care. but the trust's problems extend beyond its maternity services. what we found that the princess royal hospital, i can only describe as a sort of war zone. mark edwards took his fatherjoe, who has dementia, to a&e in telford last december. they were there for nine hours, most of the time on a trolley ina hours, most of the time on a trolley in a hospital corridor. the doctor assessed my dad, took his shirt off, 89—year—old man, and then realised that the heart monitor that he was using, there was no plug. there was no plug in the corridor. we were wheeled into the room where they mix up wheeled into the room where they mix up the plaster of paris. it was like a workshop. a&e performance here is regularly among the worst in england. the trust was rated inadequate overall in 2018 and since then, care has deteriorated further. there is a little group of very senior consultants in the trust, and they believe they run the show. and because of quite a weak leadership over very many years, the reality is that they probably have. 11 months after keeley's death, her soldier father stephen died too, fighting in afghanistan. he died for a reason, fighting for his country, and that makes me so proud. why do you still fight for your daughter? because she deserves it, and it's the only thing that i can do. throughout the pandemic, the work of the stuff he has been widely praised and indeed, when you speak to people across shropshire throughout the year without a pandemic, they do often think the work that front line clinicians have done. but there are repeatedly said to you that for yea rs, repeatedly said to you that for years, these clinicians have been let down by senior leaders, by directors and that there is a cultural problem that stops the trust from improving. in a statement this evening, the trust told us that in the maternity cases, they are fully cooperating with the review, the independent investigation. and the independent investigation. and the wider criticisms of the care they provide, they say that a programme of improvement is under way, dedicated programme of improvement to try and ensure that ca re improvement to try and ensure that care improves here. michael buchanan, live in telford. borisjohnson says stricter rules might be needed in england to ensure people wear face—coverings in confined spaces like shops. at the moment, they're only mandatory on public transport, which is also the case in scotland, where face coverings are required in stores too. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, says it's an important public health inititative. 0ur science editor, david shukman reports. scotland is creating a new normal in the struggle against the coronavirus, going further than the rest of the uk by requiring masks to be worn in shops. i think it reminds people that we need to be taking precautions. i think it's a good thing because it protects people. yeah. yeah, of course. anything that stops this virus is a good idea. the reason is that anyone infected can spread the virus with coughs, sneezes or even by speaking loudly. the risk is greatest indoors, especially in crowded spaces with bad ventilation. that's where scientists say that face coverings can make a difference. those droplets are caught by the mask, so most of the droplets then don't go on to infect other people around me. some of the droplets might escape through the sides of the mask, but then they would fall down to the area around me. the latest figures show that masks now have to be worn everywhere in public in as many as 71 different countries. they are becoming more widely accepted. it's estimated that in italy, 80% of people now wear them, in the us, 70% and in spain, 65% while in the uk, the figure is 25%, though that may now be a bit higher since that data was gathered. and a new voice has entered the debate. with tourist destinations struggling like the almost empty amalfi coast in italy, the travel industry now says that face coverings should be mandatory, whatever different governments may think about that. the use of face masks should not be political. there should not be stigma around it. it is just the way we go forward to be able to move around freely while protecting others and also protecting ourselves. the chancellor, rishi sunak, did not cover his face in this photo opportunity earlier in the week, and he was criticised for it. at the moment, though, it is only on public transport that masks have to be worn in england, wales and northern ireland. but the prime minister now says science is shifting and that we need to be stricter about face coverings, a sign that under pressure, a new policy is on the way. david shukman, bbc news. the number of people reported to have died after testing positive for coronavirus stands at 48 in the past 2a hours. it takes the total number of deaths across the uk to 411,650. travellers from dozens of countries are now able to enter many parts of the uk without quarantining for 1h days. the relaxation of the rules applies to more than 70 countries and territories, many favourite holiday destinations. katy austin is at gatwick airport. yes, travel has fallen dramatically during the pandemic. gatwick airport is only handling 70 flights today. compare that to 900 on the same day last year. things are now starting to ramp up slowly, but travel looks and feels different. at the moment we are being asked to wear masks in the airport and on planes. there are hand sanitising stations and as you go through the airport, there are lots of reminders for social distancing and not many bars and restau ra nts distancing and not many bars and restaurants are open yet either, so a very different experience. but there is a significant change today is the near blanket quarantine measures are being eased. from today, if you arrive in england from a list of 75 countries, you no longer have to self—isolate for 1h days. that includes popular holiday destinations like france and italy, but if you are coming into scotland from spain, you will still have to quarantine. if you are coming in a country that has been excluded from that list, including the us and portugal, you will still have to quarantine. there is more information and detail on the bbc news website. the foreign office has also lifted its advice against travel to dozens of countries, although it is still advising people not to take journeys on cruise ships. however, today is an important day for the wider tourism and travel industry. they are hoping people start booking their holidays again now, and they are hoping that people do that quickly, although they don't expect a quick return to precrisis normality. katy austin, at gatwick. there were lockdown changes too in northern ireland today. gyms, cinemas and playgrounds are re—opening. indoor weddings can also take place again. northern ireland has recorded no deaths linked to coronavirus since last friday. in wales, pubs, cafes, restaurants and bars will be able to serve customers indoors from 3rd august if covid—19 cases continue to fall. hywel griffith is in cardiff. clive, wales has been coming out of lockdown at a different pace. the welsh government is reticent to deliver rapid—fire changes until today, when they announced a full calendar of them. so as of tomorrow, holiday accommodation can reopen. b&bs, cottages, places that offer self—contained accommodation and probably self—catering too because although cafes, bars and restaurants can reopen in wales as of next monday, it will only be those places that can serve customers outdoors like these bars in the city centre in cardiff. at some of the biggest pub chains in wales have told us it will not be viable for them to reopen for another three weeks, taking them into august and putting some staffjobs under fire. better news possibly for people in the hairdressing industry, beauty salons and cinemas all getting to reopen over the next three weeks. but no dates yet on the reopening of indoor gyms or swimming pools. so basically, if you want to eat out or work out in wales over the next three weeks, you will need to do it in the great outdoors. hywel griffith, live in cardiff. it's almost two weeks since leicester went into local lockdown after a sharp rise in coronavirus infections. working conditions in the city's textile factories were highlighted as a major concern. 0ur correspondent sian lloyd has been given exclusive access to the health and safety inspection team in leicester, carrying out on the spot factory visits to enforce lockdown rules. we're in the area, looking at the textiles industry and looking at compliance for covid. a visit unannounced to a clothing factory from safety inspectors. more than 30 spot checks have been carried out by the health and safety executive at sites across the city in the past week alone. leicester remains in lockdown after a spike in the number of cases of covid. and while health officials say there is no single cause for the increase, conditions in some of the 1,500 factories in leicester's clothing industry are under scrutiny. they can be quite overcrowded, some of these buildings, so social distancing is key, but also, the welfare arrangements are not always great, so we have been into these businesses, we have talked through what their arrangements are and where they are not up to standard, we have taken action. in this case, the inspectors were largely satisfied with what they saw, but did ask the company to improve some hygiene, which will be monitored. elsewhere in leicester, this man was so concerned by what he saw that he has passed on the names of eight so—called sweatshops to the authorities. we are protecting his identity because he still works in the trade. they were in factories that maybe used to have 50 people, working comfortably. they now had 80, 90 people in the same area. if somebody did have covid, or was unwell, they were still there. they were still passing it on. garments going through six, seven pairs of hands before they get packed and sealed. leicester city council told me today that his concerns are being acted on. covid—19 has once again shone a light on both pay and working conditions in some of leicester's clothing factories — concerns that have been raised before. so what is needed for things to change? this family business has been making socks in leicester since 1937. it signed up to a voluntary code which includes ad hoc inspections, but that doesn't happen everywhere. the working practices in the uk have been help to be enforced by the employees themselves. they don't have a big voice because they feel unsafe and they are not able to voice it themselves. it has led to calls for the setting up of a single enforcement agency with more teeth. they should be clean. they should have the right facilities for everybody to work in. it's the workers' need to be looked after. you cannot have one class for yourself and one class for another society of people. while some changes are happening on the ground, the focus of this city is getting the local lockdown lifted, but that is at least a week away. sian lloyd, bbc news, leicester. one of the online retailer boohoo's largest shareholders is selling its stock in the fashion firm afer saying the company had failed to address concerns about working conditions at a supplier in leicester. boohoo has announced an independent review of its supply chain. but standard life aberdeen has criticised the retailer's response to claims that workers are exploited as "inadequate in scope, timeliness and gravity". the high court in london has been hearing details of arguments between the

currently seeing record daily numbers of confirmed coronavirus cases, and the country's top health official for infectious diseases says some states should delay ending their lockdowns. as you can see, cases were falling towards the end of last month, but they're now rising steeply again, and have topped 60,000 in recent days — the greatest single—day tallies for any country since the global pandemic began. here you can see the states in darker blue that have had the most cases per head of population in the last week, with the worst—hit being south carolina, with an average of 305 daily cases per million people, louisiana with 321 and florida with 423. but the state with the most cases is arizona, from where our correspondent, sophie long, reports. loud music plays. when the governor of arizona lifted the state's stay—at—home order, people partied, pre—pandemic style. it was a joke to us. we werejust like, covid, fake news. days later many woke up to what will probably be the worst hangover of their lives. never imagined in my life i would be in a hospital, you know, on a breathing, oxygen tube. i felt like i was going to die. the bars and nightclubs have now been shut down again. the pumping music replaced by an eerie silence. but the damage has been done. at the beginning of the pandemic some hoped the summer heat might help slow the infection rate. well, if you want proof that is not happening, it's here. it's currently around 44 celsius in phoenix. the temperature is rising and so are the number of confirmed covid cases at an alarming rate. arizona is now the coronavirus hotspot, not just for the united states, but for the world. and yet people here are still queueing many hours for tests and waiting many days for the results. they are getting results back in eight days. well, eight days, that's not actionable information. you can't use that information any more. if the person was infected with covid—19, you've missed your opportunity to intervene and get them into isolation so they don't infect their family members and co—workers. those who lost loved ones in this sudden surge find ways to express their grief and their anger. mark died alone in hospital last week. i don't want my father to just be another number. the reason why people are getting sick and numbers are skyrocketing here, and we are number one not only in the entire country, but the entire world, is not because of lack of individual responsibility. it's because of lack of leadership. and it's the tired hearts of medical staff that are breaking as they are forced to make decisions they hoped they never would. sometimes you just have to go into crisis mode, and what that means is basically having the triage, like in a military setting, having a triage of who gets to get that resource and who doesn't. but you have very limited resources and you know sick patients need it, you have to pick and choose who gets that life—saving intervention. that's a horrible situation to be in. i have never had to be in that situation. some hospitals here are now preparing to operate at up to 150% capacity, an indication that arizona is expected to be the epicentre of this explosion of new cases and the impact on people across the state could get even worse. sophie long, bbc news, phoenix, arizona. president erdogan of turkey has signed a decree converting the world —famous cultural site hagia sophia in istanbul into a mosque. it follows a court ruling that it should never have been converted into a museum. russia's 0rthodox church says the decision is regrettable because the building was originally constructed as a cathedral. it's been a frustrating day for england's bowlers on day 3 of the first test against the west indies in southampton. a short time ago they were all out for 318, giving them a first innings lead. joe wilson reports. finally a beautiful day for cricket, if you're playing. a85 test wickets and dropped. stuart broad made it clear today he was angry about england's selection. well, the fast bowlers england had picked struggled to break through. with some judgment and some luck, west indies were progressing. the captain had to influence the game. first ben stokes held a catch to dismiss shai hope. kraigg brathwaite had made 65 when stokes the bowler got him lbw. delighted skipper? try relieved. now, we are also aware of the risks of contact these days. did brooks hit this? umpire said yes. the review replay agreed. just a touch. well, jermaine blackwood has a reputation for whacking the ball into the air too often. yeah, he knew what he'd done, and so did england. but remember the bigger picture. west indies were still scoring, and now leading. shane dowrich barely made a run last time he toured england. now he batted like he belonged. and for a while, roston chase had england on the run too. next, the rivalry of the all—rounders, the clash of the captains. jason holder found the fielder... and taken, good catch. ..archer. stokes had the wicket and the plotjust shifted. when so much in southampton is unique, the test of the match is reassuringly familiar. joe wilson, bbc news. an american athlete dared to dream he'd smashed the men's 200 metre world record, but it turned out he'd run faster than usain bolt, because he only ran 185m. noah lyles was running solo in florida against rivals at other tracks as part of the inspiration games, and he crossed the finish line in 18.9 seconds — way ahead of the record set by usain bolt in 2009. but the commentator, steve cram, was immediately suspicious... that cannot be right?! that cannot be right. it was later revealing that lyles' starting blocks had been put in the wrong place. the funeral has taken place in east sussex of the forces' sweetheart, dame vera lynn, who died last month at the age of 103. two spitfires flew over the funeral cortege as it made its way through her home village of ditchling. duncan kennedy was there. plane engines. it was a village that came to pay its respects, but this was a nation saying farewell. dame vera lynn's funeral cortege navigated the narrow streets, lined with people she called friends. applause. her daughter, virginia, walked behind the procession. traffic stopped on a day for reflection. we've lost one of our great, you know, nationaltreasures, really. and this is more of a celebration to show our respect for her, what she's done for our country. she was a heroine, absolute heroine, yeah. two spitfires from the battle of britain memorial flight soared over the village. symbol of dame vera lynn's close bonds with the armed forces. # don't know where...# below, spontaneity amid the solemnity. # but i know we'll meet again some sunny day.# applause. # when the lights go on again...# dame vera lynn's own rich tones gave solace to a nation at war, and to later generations, as her life arced across the decades. it's a day of sadness because we have lost dame vera lynn. 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 later moved to a private funeral service near brighton. dame vera's coffin borne by members of the air force, army and navy. along the coast, in dover, the famous white cliffs have become a canvas of remembrance. a tribute to dame vera lynn — emblem of resilience, voice of hope, inspiration for a grateful nation. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy ending that report. today marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain, when the raf defended the country against wave after wave of bombing raids from nazi germany. the young british pilots flew new fighter planes called spitfires and hurricanes, turning the aircraft into iconic symbols of resilience. but what's never been revealed is the role played by a schoolgirl from london in their success, as sophie raworth explains. newsreel: way up in the sky there are messerschmitts, junkers, heinkels and 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 this 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 plains, but captain hill was convinced 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 1000 rounds a minute was essential for success. they talked 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 of their own bat, working very long hours because they were really dedicated to these things. and of course, people taking their work home. hazel told her sons about her role when they were growing up. amazing that history hangs on so fine a thread. you know, if she got the calculations wrong or if she hadn't been asked to help, and the decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what could have happened. this graph, presented to the air ministry in 193a, 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,
