M. ill have all of the details at 20 seven a. M. 6 27am. Its tuesday, june 16. Our top story. The Prime Ministers under growing pressure to extend Free School Meal vouchers into the Summer Holidays in england. It comes after premier League FootballerMarcus Rashford called on the government to reverse its decision to stop the scheme. Borisjohnson is also facing calls to reduce the two metre social distancing rules after thousands of shops reopened yesterday. These shops were in england. John mcmanus reports. As non essential shops begin to reopen in england, shoppers rushed to fill them. Wales and scotland havent been given a date when they could do the same. The pandemic is not over though, and precautions we re not over though, and precautions were taken. And, shoppers were asked to keep two metres apart. But one retail boss said that rule must be scrapped. Economically unviable with that distancing in place you cannot just allow a sufficient number of customers in store to give it an economic chance. Another measure on the agenda may be the Cabinet Meeting to discuss its regular review of covid 19 precautions. Its also coming under pressure from the hospitality sector, which says 1 millionjobs are at hospitality sector, which says 1 million jobs are at stake at less u nless million jobs are at stake at less unless the two metre rule becomes one metre. And restaurant chains have called for tax breaks and Financial Support until social distancing has ended. Marcus rashford. Manchester uniteds Marcus Rashford has continued his fight for free meal vouchers over the School Holidays in england. He says he relied upon similar help as a teenager. Parliament debated the matter today. Some conservative mps are rumoured to be unhappy at downing streets refusal to change course. And as those Summer Holidays approach, a warning from our most popular Tourist Destination on what might happen if the uk doesnt drop two weeks quarantine for overseas arrivals. We decided the best way is to do away with the quarantine measures. We will have them instilled during 22, onjune 20 do we will them. Should the uk want to keep them beyond that day which have to do with their own view of health, we will respect this. We will have them untiljune 22, and onjune 22 we will remove them. John mcmanus, bbc news. Were joined now by our Political Correspondent, jonathan blake. Jonathan, good morning to you. Since Marcus Rashford was my comments put the Prime Minister under since Marcus Rashfords comments put the Prime Minister on more pressure, what else is happen . There are so many people who feel very strongly about this issue, and after you say, Marcus Rashford broke so openly about his own experience and his own familys reliance on Free School Meals, there are plenty of people who feel very strongly that the government should change its mind on this. And we will get a sense on this. And we will get a sense on this later on about how many conservative mps willjoin with labour in trying to persuade the government in changing tack. Yesterday the Prime Minister said he would respond to Marcus Rashfords letter, which he wrote, calling for the government to change its policy. But that it understood struggles that families were facing. The government has pointed out it is spending £63 million, giving out to local authorities in england to allocate to the poorest families who have been hit hardest by the measures put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus. But it is likely to be perhaps an uncomfortable hour or so in the house of commons chamber, when mps debate this later on. And we will be speaking to rebecca long bailey, shadow education secretary and grant shapps, who is on the programme in the next couple of hours. So the former leader lord hague calling on the government, adding his voice to many on scrapping the two metre rule . Lord hague has been very clear, writing in the Daily Telegraph, along with many other government ministers, it has to be said, saying reducing the two metre rule to one metre could help save many sectors of the economy, which plays a very difficult few weeks and months ahead of that metre rule remains in place, particularly because the Hospitality Industry. William hague has also criticised the quarantine measures put in place for travellers coming to the uk from abroad, not exactly a ringing endorsement of the governments steps that it has taken from the former tory leader. We will get an indication later on ofjust how destructive, as William Hague has put it, the lockdown has been for the uk, when unemployment figures are published for the three months up are published for the three months up until april as well as an indication of how many people have been claiming Unemployment Benefits during may. Jonathan, thank you so much. We will speak to you soon. There have been two new confirmed cases of coronavirus in new zealand, ending a 24 day streak of no new infections. 0ur correspondent Shaimaa Khalil is in sydney.

We know they were in managed isolation, in auckland in new zealand, and they were given exceptionally on compassionate grounds to go to wellington onjune 13 to see a dying parent who actually died that night. So they we re actually died that night. So they were on their way, in a private vehicle to make funeral arrangements. We understand from the director of health in new zealand that they didnt come into contact with any members of the public on the way, they were in a private vehicle. Now we know that one more Family Member is at risk. We also know one of these women was showing mild symptoms, the other was asymptomatic. But they were not tested before they left isolation from that hotel in auckland. 0ther points of contact of course, the Health Authorities are looking at now, are those in the Isolation Hotel in auckland about also the fourin hotel in auckland about also the four in the brisbane plane on the way to new zealand.

That is the latest new zealand from sydney for us this morning on breakfast. 10,000 families are to be given Free Internet access to the internet for six months to help with online learning. With the majority of children still out of school, there are concerns about poorer children missing online lessons because their families cant afford an internet connection. The schools minister nick gibb says the government will do everything they can to prevent children falling behind as a result of the pandemic. Next years oscars have been pushed back by two months from february to april because of the coronavirus pandemic. 0rganisers of the 93rd Academy Awards have also agreed to extend the eligibility window for nominees to the end of february. Considerations will be extended temporarily to films that are released on streaming platforms rather than solely in cinemas. Its 6 09am. Remember the last time you went to the cinema . Er, probably to see the last star wars film. That was a long time ago. Did you go to the drivein cinema . Because time ago. Did you go to the drivein cinema . Because i time ago. Did you go to the drivein cinema . Because i think we are allowed to do that. Think the atmosphere would be perfect, but if you dont have a convertible and the sun isnt shining. But when they do the drive in in grease, that would be the perfect time. When you have three kids screaming in the back stop date night, dan. We arent beaten yet thats the promise from the Manchester United and england striker Marcus Rashford after the government rejected his calls for a rethink on Free School Meal vouchers. Yesterday on breakfast, the footballer talked to sally about his own experiences of relying on Free School Meals during his childhood. He wants ministers to reverse the decision to end Free School Meals for children in england during the summer. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin has been speaking to some of the people who rely on the scheme. Youve never been in a situation like this before, have you . No. I have worked my entire life since i was 18 and i find have worked my entire life since i was 18 and ifind myself have worked my entire life since i was 18 and i find myself unemployed for the first time ever. And its a really difficult situation. These are the conversations sparked by 22 year old Marcus Rashford. Are the conversations sparked by 22 year old Marcus Rashfordlj are the conversations sparked by 22yearold Marcus Rashford. I wake up 22yearold Marcus Rashford. I wake up in the middle of the night and think oh my god, i have nothing for the children to en in the morning or to have the time all my children to have the time all my children to eat. Marcus rashford has asked mps do not stop School Meal Vouchers. The striker said i understand because ive been there. When youre growing up, do you remember being hungry . Yeah, of course. But i also understood stop my mum did the best she could within the circumstances. I just my mum did the best she could within the circumstances. Ijust knew how ha rd the circumstances. Ijust knew how hard my mum was working. You know . If theres food on the table, there is on the table. If there wasnt, i had friends who understood my situation. Now im in the position im in, its very important for me to help the people who are struggling. At this charity food depot, they say there is plenty of evidence that people really are struggling. This unprecedented situation. We have had to double outputs, we have distributed 430 tons of food in the last 12 weeks. Where are you off to . After the food bank stop going to help this Junior School bank stop going to help this Junior School after the bank stop going to help this Junior School after the food bank to help some junior scores. A busy day . A very busy day. Thank you. Demand for schools since lockdown has exploded. In that time, Marcus Rashford has helped channel 20000000 pounds do this charity to help feed over 400,000 children. Ian is here to collect, to make the puzzles for 120 families. There are have been a number of times where i have had pa rents number of times where i have had parents ring up and they have said i really need this week, i wont ask every week. Im sorry to be asking, but i really need help this week. But that that need to explain is what breaks my heart. They wouldnt ask for it if they really didnt need it. And right now, they really need it. And right now, they really need it. And right now, they really need it. Back at school, teachers unload the food that will make up parcels, the same teachers will deliver the next day. Buses which will help alongside the governments own Voucher Scheme to replace the school meals. But despite Marcus Rashfords intervention, that scheme will end this summer. At the very bottom of the pile economically, those people are suffering economically. A 5 6 week holiday with nothing, and a few parcels are most no food voucher from the government, its a bit of a disaster. When these gates close at the end ofjuly, so too will the Voucher Scheme. Marcus rashford tweeted to his 2. 7 million followers, we a re tweeted to his 2. 7 million followers, we are not beaten yet. And with support expressed by labour last night, there will be a full debate in Parliament Later today. The voucher is £15 a week per child. Cathy and sara tell me that has become essential. Its a lifeline, it really is a lifeline for me. The universal credit only covers my rant and the council tax. There is absolutely nothing left for us add i and i. Just absolutely nothing left for us add i and i. Just dont know how to feed the family and pay the bills. What impact without avenue . Im terrified. I really am. What impact will that have on you . You say you will be lost without it . And so say you will be lost without it . And so will they. Since he appeared on breakfast yesterday, Marcus Rashfords campaign has received widespread support. His united teammate danieljames congratulated him, saying the response has been amazing. Former england cricket captain Michael Vaughan tweeted to say all of us need to be like Marcus Rashford. Radio 2 presenter zoe ball called him an inspiration. While comedianjohn bishop said the issue is something everyone should agree on, and that he has the utmost respect for rashford for what hes doing. And gary lineker said a young footballer shouldnt have to be imploring our government to do this, but its great that he is. What a fine young man. The government says it wont be offering Free School Meal vouchers over the holidays, but is pledging extra money for local councils to help provide food for those most in need. There will be, i think Marcus Rashfords letter will be quoted in the debate in the commons today and also i think he is holding out hope there will be some kind of discussion with the Prime Ministers offers about potentially what will happen. We will keep a very close eye on that over the coming days and weeks stop and we will be talking about it on the programme today. Lets take a look at todays papers. The mirror leads with more on what premier League FootballerMarcus Rashford told us on breakfast yesterday, that he has vowed to fight on after the government said Free School Meal vouchers in england will not be provided during the summer. In the Daily Telegraph, former conservative foreign secretary, William Hague, predicts an economic catastrophe as a result of the lockdown. He says it has led to increasing inequality, social tension and unaffordable debt, and advocates a policy of mass testing. The times leads with a study that suggests two million children have done little or no schoolwork at home during the pandemic. The paper says it threatens the Educational Development of a generation of children. The Belfast Telegraph leads with changes to lockdown rules in Northern Ireland, after the Stormont Executive confirmed hotels, bars, restaurants and cafes can start to reopen from 3july, on the condition that the spread of the virus remains low.
