good morning. it is time to dig out the swimming and those toggles because swimming pools are reopening gci’oss because swimming pools are reopening across england in just because swimming pools are reopening across england injust over two weeks‘ time. i have come to the local pool in manchester to find out what regulations need to be in place before we all dive in. plus, today marks the anniversary of the battle of britain. i am amongst the hurricane ‘s and the spitfires to see the significance of that battle. plus that we can forecast which is drier and brighter after a sunny and showery day today. all details coming up and breakfast. —— coming up coming up and breakfast. —— coming up on breakfast. it‘s friday the 10th ofjuly. our top story: foreign travel to dozens of countries without the need to quarantine is possible from today, as government advice against all but essential travel is formally lifted. the list of places includes holiday destinations like france and italy, and means tourists from the uk will be able to visit them without having to isolate on their return. but ministers are advising against all travel on cruise ships, as john mcmanus reports. spain‘s tourist industry is keen to say ola to british holidaymakers as soon as possible. paul‘s heading there tomorrow. now we don‘t have to quarantine coming back in, it‘s a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions — social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything. the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more of us are more likely to venture abroad now that the uk‘s travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it‘s not straightforward. take europe. if you arrive from most places, you now don‘t have to self—isolate for two weeks. but some of these countries have restrictions when you arrive there. people travelling from anywhere else — including, controversially, portugal — do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will too. liz‘s package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight‘s been cancelled. from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights aren‘t currently running. so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there, and i think that‘s where the confusion is. airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they, and the airlines which use them, are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won‘t be plain sailing. the foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment — instructions which it says are based on advice from public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. the government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools and outdoor theatres will be able open their doors, while some sports, such as cricket, will also return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons — but they will be subject to some restrictions. and on the 25th of july, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen. let‘s go to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, now, who joins us from westminster. leila, this news comes off the back of thousands ofjob cuts announced yesterday. the government will be hoping this will help to boost the economy. i suppose this is one way. others are so i suppose this is one way. others are so obviously still struggling. the lack —— the backdrop is pretty bleak. that is why we saw the chancellor announced those measures including the furloughed bonin ‘s, eating out in august, to try to stop some of thejob eating out in august, to try to stop some of the job losses that are now coming thick and fast. some big high street names announcing closures. of course they will be many small businesses are struggling under the radar, too. so yes, we now have the dates for most of the remaining sectors of the economy that have been shuttered to reopen. not all. i think big questions remain. is it too late for some of these businesses. can they operate in this climate in a way that is safe, a way thatis climate in a way that is safe, a way that is profitable and a way that is inviting for people and will those support schemes announced by the government to enough to incentivise people and businesses to act in a way that they otherwise would not have. i think that there is a key question here also around confidence. you are hearing this in some of the messaging from government was up some of the messaging from government was up eat out to help out, work out to help out in the context of gyms the job it is about inspiring confidence in people so they can begin to go out and start spending across the economy in a way that they used to. thanks very much. gyms in northern ireland are set to reopen today, becoming the first in the uk to welcome people back after the easing of restrictions. england will follow on the 25th ofjuly — there isn‘t a set date for scotland and wales. our ireland correspondent chris page is at a gym in belfast for us this morning. ina way in a way this is an experiment, we are all watching on to see how this will work in practice was to paint a picture for us. that is right, charlie was up l fast is getting active again. this gym, the yard in east belfast, has just opened its doors so the members are back using the equipment. it is fitness social distancing style so for example every other machine will be in use for the time being and people will be wiping down the equipment after they finish with it. going to have a word with the two owners. johnny and curtis. to see you here on bbc brea kfast. curtis. to see you here on bbc breakfast. what are you —— what is it like to be reopening? you only opened six or seven weeks before lockdown. leave great to be reopening. you have put in place measures to keep people safe. we are following all the guidelines given by the government. every second machine is switched off and it is for the protection of our members and our staff. you have a ready got people through the doors, plenty of interest has been expressed. even the last few days. the response throughout lockdown has been fantastic. it is amazing to see them back again. we are very close to our members. what have the last few months been like and how do you expect the next one is to be like? the past few months have been absolute hell for myself and johnny, to be absolutely honest. i think the next few months will be promising. fingers crossed everything runs well and we get back up and running. you have done a lot of work getting his plays reading for this moment. —— letting this place ready. —— getting. we have. you have been in this business for quite a long time. do you think lock down has made people reconsider their health and you might see more people coming out? fingers crossed, yes. i have seen wings on social media people not going to gyms, they have taken up not going to gyms, they have taken up home workouts so fingers crossed people will want to start looking after themselves and going more for health and fitness. thank you very much, curtis and johnny and all the very best for your first day back. this is not the only restrictions being eased in northern ireland. they grounds and even cinemas opened. the infection rate in northern ireland remains very low. we are trying to give you a sense of the changes and a lot of them are kicking in today. face coverings are mandatory in shops in scotland from today, and those who don‘t comply could be fined 60 pounds. it‘s one of a number of changes to lockdown restrictions coming into force this morning. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has more. she is wearing one, they are wearing them too. and from today, except for them too. and from today, except for the exception of children and people with certain medical conditions will have to wear a face covering while shopping in scotland or they will be breaking the law. i think it is something we willjust have to get used to for the foreseeable future. anything that's going to help stop the spread i absolutely agree with. wearing a mask into the shop, i'm completely happy to do that. you have a mask with you right now so you will be wearing it in the shop? yes. as this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are 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 was up in the two metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail as long as strict conditions are in place to lower the risk. many shops have already put in mitigating limits to protect staff. there are now protective screens in place in this shoe shop. they help people get on board with the latest changes to the way they shop. obviously for children underfive 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 they would wear a mask and ido insisting they would wear a mask and i do have a spare mask in the shop as they are not in here for a long time. iam hoping as they are not in here for a long time. i am hoping that yes, i am hoping that they will adhere to the guidelines. scotland's first minister has warned that anyone... anyone in a train or a shop it should be as immediate as wearing a seatbelt in the car. they will be fine for anyone not complying. the risk of the virus spreading will increase. the scottish government believes it is an important part of the measures to make sure that doesn‘t happen. more than 65,000 coronavirus cases have been recorded in the usa injust21i hours — a new daily record. it brings the total number of infections there to more than 3.1 million. there has been a spike in infections in recent weeks, particularly in the south and west. president trump has dismissed concerns, saying the numbers are high because so many people are being tested. relatives of care home residents with dementia should be treated as key workers, according to leading charities. it would mean family members can get more regular coronavirus tests, so they can visit loved ones safely and help with their care. the health secretary, matt hancock, says guidance on care home visits will be issued in the coming days. johnny depp has denied he slapped his former wife amber heard after she laughed at one of his tattoos. the actor is suing the publisher of the sun newspaper after it —— referred to him as a wifebeater. mps have warned there‘s a serious risk that parts of england will run out of water within the next 20 years unless urgent action is taken. the public accounts committee is calling on the government to establish a league table ranking how water companies are performing. it said three—billion litres of water are still being lost every day through leaky pipes. if you‘ve been working from home for the last few months you might be keen to get a change of scene — but how would you fancy working remotely from barbados? new proposals are being considered by the caribbean island which would introduce a i2—month "welcome stamp", allowing people to work there for one year at a time. it‘s hoped that it would help ease the coronavirus blow to the tourist trade. if you have got to work from home somewhere, it could be worse.|j think you could put a sofa there... i see what you mean. it‘s the start of the summer holidays for many people today as rules are relaxed to allow quarantine—free travel from dozens of countries across the world. but what can you expect if you‘re heading abroad? katy is at gatwick airport for us this morning. the first thing we notice is that you, like everyone else, will be wearing a face mask. that is absolutely right. good morning, yes. the very obvious change you will notice is people are being asked to use face masks when they arrive at the airport. like all the other passengers, you can see me. gatwick airport normally in a june month would have a million passengers going through the this month it was only 17,004. things have been a lot quieter because of the travel restrictions. now when people come m, restrictions. now when people come in, another restrictions have been lifted a bit, they will arrive, speak to this lady here behind a plastic screen and be directed to which check—in they need go to. and then they will go through their social distancing markers on the floor which you can see. then they can check—in on the automatic machines or if they go upstairs at some of the other airlines which don‘t have automatic chickens, there are plastic screens to protect the staff who are checking them in and checking their baggage in as well. going through to security and also you will have to wear the mask there and when you go to through —— to the departure lounge, not a lot of shops are open however we are expecting cafes a nd restau ra nts are open however we are expecting cafes and restaurants will start to open upa cafes and restaurants will start to open up a bit now. as you can see, some passengers are arriving and i have a few here to speak to. billy has arrived at the airport with his family. morning to you. is it a bit ofa family. morning to you. is it a bit of a special occasion? i was trying to keepa of a special occasion? i was trying to keep a secret but my daughter is determined to tell the world. 60 today! laughs. is this a special family trip you are going on? yes. we are going to geneva to see my brother who has been out there since september so brother who has been out there since septemberso we're going brother who has been out there since september so we're going to see him. he has spent a long time his own. september so we're going to see him. he has spent a long time his ownm must be a massive relief to you now that you don‘t have to self isolate when you come back. did you know that when you booked the holiday? no, no, we weren't sure. a bit last minute all the way through. last week we were talking about whether week we were talking about whether we could go on not because none of us can we could go on not because none of us can self isolate for two weeks when we come back. we were worried about self—isolating when we come back. we were worried about self— isolating on when we come back. we were worried about self—isolating on the other side as well because they made an announcement i think last week, certain countries, that they were making you self isolate when you go to geneva. it was only last week we made a decision. when you heard the government announcement? yes. i wish you a wonderful birthday trip and i hope you have fun. stay safe and when you board the plane there will be social distancing. doing a good distance apartand distancing. doing a good distance apart and keep wearing your mask. this is not just apart and keep wearing your mask. this is notjust about people going off on holiday. it is also about giving the travel industry some hope because tourism and aviation have been hugely hit this crisis so they will hope people start looking holidays soon. is billy still there with you? or has he gone already?” think he is trying to go. if he is still there, katie, can you talk me through the picture on the t—shirt. i want to know when that was in the circumstances around it. you set me i circumstances around it. you set me ur circumstances around it. you set me up! our presenter wants to know more about this photo here full but when was taken what is the story?” about this photo here full but when was taken what is the story? i think i was about 21 and that would have been 1981. so i was at dinner with my beautiful daughter‘s mother at the time and that was my 21st. a long, long time ago. thank you so much. to talk to you. have a good holiday. we will be back with you for more later this morning. a lot of interest in how things are going to work in practice. if you are watching this morning and many people may be doing the same thing, now that you can go away, do you wa nt now that you can go away, do you want to? many people are asking these questions and maybe you have them yourself. many people are also concerned not only about the safety aspect and we will cover these things during the programme, but also what it will be like on the other side in retrospect of the restrictions. sending your thoughts via the usual method. so with rules and regulations varying around the world, how different will your holidays be? in italy, visitors are already returning to rome and the vatican city. our correspondent quentin sommerville, has been checking out some of the sights. four months, rome was mainly for the romans. despite the pandemic it is a pen for business again. european tourists have been welcome for over a month but americans and other overseas visitors are still not coming full so right now there is a moment where italy and the vatican cities attractions are cloud free. in the vatican they normally see 7 million tourists a year. at the moment they come in dribs and drabs. the vatican was one of the first major museums in the world to reopen, it has been reopened for a month but it is a very different experience now. there are far fewer tourists, and it almost feels as if you are having a private tour. before the pandemic about 4000 people in our and now it is about 400. so social distancing rules mean that you have more breathing space and a lot more room to enjoy this. this man says the vatican is welcome to read about british. translation: i want to tell everyone and in particular those who come from the uk, that from all the countries in the world we are waiting for you with open arms. we guarantee that you will be able to visit this museum in perfect security, there are no dangers involved stop it is now a you to be courageous and try. and here we are in the sistine chapel. the highlight of any tour of the vatican. normally when you come in here you will be crammed in with many other tourists, cheek byjail. not by the moment. it is a different experience. you have to queue to get in here. there has been worry in the past that bringing so many tour with —— tourists in courses damage but there is no fear of that now. the chapel is almost silent and spectacular. it never loses its beauty. and many people will be lovingly fat people are able to go once again and see those places. let‘s take a look at today‘s papers. "you‘d better shape up", is the headline on the front of the metro. reporting on the reopening on gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres, the paper says the country can "get back in shape at last". chancellor rishi sunak is under fire over thejob cuts, according to the financial times. it reports that an influential think tank criticised his £30—billion package to avertjob losses as "poorly targeted". "they‘ve sunk our cruises", says the daily mail. the paper says the foreign office has warned against all travel on cruise ships — and calls it a "huge blow" to the travel industry. the times carries a picture ofjohnny depp on its front page. the actor is suing for libel over a sun article that called him a "wife beater" — allegations he denies. would you like to go first or shall i have? this image, it is so fantastic and many papers picked up on it. the idea is that bison are to roman britain for the first time in 15,000 years, it says. just a very small number that will be released and, let me hold this up for you, bison coming back. where are they coming from? they are brought in... 1927 they were extinct in europe and they will be brought in to an area in kentand they will be brought in to an area in kent and i think there are only three of them originally, to 6‘2" tall. they are extraordinary animals. why are we getting them back? the kent wildlife trust says it is about ringing different breeds back into the uk, deemed to be good for the environment and, yeah. what an extraordinary that will be.” for the environment and, yeah. what an extraordinary that will be. i do love that picture. it is great. stunning extraordinary animals. charlie, if a bear stunning extraordinary animals. charlie, ifa bear came stunning extraordinary animals. charlie, if a bear came into your backyard, what actress would you like to scare it away? which back to or actress? a big black bear in your back garden? who do you think you are? would be affected? was thinking of someone. i haven‘t got time to think about this. a female back to? joan collins? she shouted bad bear! naughty bear! very naughty bear and the bear run away. this is when she was in the united states. it was helen mirren. basically, you know, you see stories all the time of bears roaming in backyards in the united states and she said that this bear came into her backyard in lake tahoe and looked at her and lumbered off and he was a big black bear. and just before the bear had appeared she had been reading about wildlife in the area and they said that if you encounter wildlife in the area, if it looks like it is about to charge, it said to make yourself look as big as possible, grab a stick if you can to make yourself look big and then it literally said shout bad bear! and it works.“ look big and then it literally said shout bad bear! and it works. if you have the delivery that helen mirren has, that would carry extra resonance. she would be able to project very well. apparently you are also meant run in a zig—zag formation? somebody will know. somebody. a bull was to mark there we go, it is for a bull. our camera woman was literally doing that. we go, it is for a bull. our camera woman was literally doing thatm took us a while to work out what she was doing. we have sport coming up later and information about changes happening in connection with the covid—19 restrictions. 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 have recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane‘s design. sophie raworth reports. way up in the sky, there will be the thrashing of their life. delay 1940 in nazi germany is beginning the first of many bombing raids in what became known as the battle of written. but the raf‘s pilots managed to fight off the luftwaffe and defend the shawls in their spitfires and hurricane‘s. it is the most famous plane from world war ii. it played a crucial role in the battle of britain. but what we did not know until now was that the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter planes 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 and most thought that eight guns would be too many and impossible to fit on the plains. the captain hill was convinced he was right so he turned to an unlikely person or help this 13—year—old daughter a talented mathematician. together, around the 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 talk about burning the mid— night oil. coming into the office leave after everybody has gone to carry out further calculations and borrow bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less have their own bat. working long hours because they were dedicated. they hazel told those children about her role when they were growing up. it is such a fine thread. the decision had not been made to go with eight guns. this graph, presented to the air ministry in 1934 was the result of hazels 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. that they had to get incredibly close to they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes. just 250 yards away to stand a chance of shooting them down. hazel‘s calculations meant the government changed its mind. the battle of britain proved to bea mind. the battle of britain proved to be a turning point in the war. it was the bravery and success of the pilots that made victory possible, but without the support of many others, the battle may not have been warm. what a great inspiration for young people today and girls in particular that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 19305 someone like hazel in the early 1930s making such an important contribution. 80 years after the battle of britain, hazel hill is finally getting the public recognition she deserved. a remarkable story and in keeping with that, matt has gone to the imperial war museum. this is where there is going to be a flight path later today marking the battle of britain. what a lovely setting. it is an amazing setting. let me show you where i am. first of all, outidea show you where i am. first of all, out idea we have the main airfield itself. a selection of commercial aircraft there. but as the other side we are interested in today. this is the hurricane, 40,000 of these that played a crucial role in that major victory against the germans who were trying to dominate the airand the germans who were trying to dominate the air and the skies above southern britain with the help of these and the spitfires that we will hopefully see here flying later. that helped us on further in the wall. now there are more exhibits here and of course the museum has just are more exhibits here and of course the museum hasjust announced are more exhibits here and of course the museum has just announced that this museum will reopen on august one so it is with taking a visit over the next few months. today we saw what it was like outside. a little damp on the ground. let‘s look at what lies ahead. forecast for this weekend is a big improvement over what we have seen over the past few days, particularly for england and wales. most places will be dry with a little bit of mist later on sunday high—pressure building atlantic settling things down few days. rain started to spread eastward into the near continent. it does not mean we are com pletely continent. it does not mean we are completely dry just yet, heavy showers around around eastern england and scotland, plenty of cloud and much fresher in the west but here we start the day with sunshine. only a couple of isolated showers developing in the west through the day across eastern scotla nd through the day across eastern scotland and england that could be further heavy showers, the outside chance of an odd rumble of thunder. it will be cooler overall with temperatures a little down on this date injuly. that does lead into a fresher night. ab the showers we see today will fade away and couple continuing in the north and west skies around, certainly across the south. seven or eight degrees cooler thanit south. seven or eight degrees cooler than it has been in the last few nights with rural spots getting down into the mid— single figures. the weekend begins on a fresher note in the past few days but a lot more sunshine around to start your saturday. a few showers developing west of scotland and north—west england and wales in particular but these are hit and miss. bulk of the country will stay dry. some cloud bubbling up, best of the sunshine in the south with temperatures similar to day. enter sunday, the southern half of the country will have a bit more sunshine around and it will start to feel warmer as we get south—westerly winds but through the day those wind will pick up, northern ireland, northern and western scotland, delph was by the time the day is out and there will be the return of some rain at times. stays straight towards the south—east corner temperatures backup a little on what we have seen. up to 24 celsius in the south—east corner. even as we go into next week it will be another case of cloud coming and going sunshine at times and a few showers as well. fingers crossed that things will stay dry as we go into later this morning as we hope to see that spitfires take to the air. hello this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we‘ll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: as quarantine rules are relaxed for arrivals from many countries we‘ll be looking at what it means for our summer holidays and the best way to travel safely. we‘ll be celebrating the life of dame vera lynn as her family hold her funeral today. and live music in england is set to return as long as it‘s played outdoors. we‘ll speak to ben earle from the shires. good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news. foreign travel to dozens of countries is possible from today, without the need self isolate for two weeks. the list of places includes holiday destinations like france and italy, and means tourists from the uk will be able to visit them without having to isolate on their return. scotland has a shorter list of exemptions than england, wales and northern ireland. the foreign office has said travel on cruise ships should be avoided. the government has announced that leisure and beauty facilities can reopen in the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england. tomorrow, outdoor serving pools will be able to open the doors and some sports such as cricket will return. monday sees beauticians, had to places and spas reopening. wearing a face covering is now compulsory in shops in scotland. people with certain medical conditions, and children underfive, will be exempt. staff won‘t have to force people to wear them, while police say they‘ll only issue fines as a last resort. scotland is the only place in the uk to introduce the measure in shops. let‘s check in with today‘s gp — drjamie parkerjoins us now. good morning, how are you? good thank you, how are you? well thank you. you are always so polite was to buy think it goes with the territory of being a gp. there is a lot of change at the moment with lockdown and the things we are allowed to do and the things we are allowed to do and the things we are allowed to do and the things we haven‘t been able to do for some time. i wanted to start the face coverings. as we just said a moment ago, for example, in scotla nd said a moment ago, for example, in scotland at the moment, wearing a face covering is compulsory in the shops. it is different in different parts of the uk. ijust wonder how many people are asking you about that and what do you advise people when they do? i think it is important to remember why you are wearing a face covering. it is really to protect other people from yourself in case you are carrying the virus without knowing it which of course you can do and you can pass it on. it is important to remember that it doesn‘t exempt you or allow you just to act normally with it on. we saw in your report earlierfrom with it on. we saw in your report earlier from the with it on. we saw in your report earlierfrom the airport with it on. we saw in your report earlier from the airport that the number of times the reporter was touching herface when it number of times the reporter was touching her face when it was slipping down, that transmission, there are risks with wearing a mask as well put it is important to remember why you are wearing it. it doesn‘t you from those other important measures and it is important measures and it is important in england, where the two metre or the one metre can‘t be enforced, if you are in close contact on public transport, for example. important point you made was up you are talking about touching the face. there has been a lot of research about the risks associated with that. one thing to have the mask on but you can undo all the good you might be doing if you either don‘t put it on correctly or you, your hands mess with it. yeah, and if you forget the hand washing is really key. i think it is being safe when you do wear it. another significant change it around quarantining and this is about people coming into the uk. our people coming into the uk. our people seeking advice from you about that? have they done that? what do you tell them? to be honest, they haven‘t. i would just be reminding people we are in the midst of a pandemic still. although these restrictions have been relaxed, we are in the mix develop pandemic. —— the midst of a pandemic. reminding people that the reason we have been able to get into this situation of relaxing the measures is because we have been following the social distancing rules, it is not because the virus has gone away. not to rest on our laurels, we‘re not out of the woods yet. i think a lot of people are mindful. in essence, there are two camps. a lot of people will be delighted they can go to the gym, for example. maybe they can go to an outdoor concert. and all of those things that becoming available. then there is another group of people literally asking the question day by day, why are we doing this when covid is still in the community? and i dare say that can add to some people‘s anxiety. i dare say that can add to some people's anxiety. absolutely and i think it is a reflection of the situation for top it is a balance of risks and benefits. it is acknowledging that relaxing the lockdown is a risk but the benefits of it to the economy and to the long—term health of the nation are really important and i think it‘s important that when people do go out and they either go to the gym or go to the live events, just remembering it isn‘t back to normal. the viruses are still around and we do still have a responsibility. you are never far away from a vulnerable person. even though physically. actually, through your connections, you are close to vulnerable people who could be significantly impacted by the virus. thank you, doctorjamie parker, speaking to us from nottingham this morning. the culture secretary oliver dowden has called for people to "work out to help out," as he announced that indoor leisure centres can reopen from the 25th ofjuly. holly is at a swimming pool in manchester for us this morning. there will be very many people delighted that gyms and swimming pools and other places can reopen but it is not exactly business as usual, is it? exactly. like everything else, it comes with the additional rules and regulations. i imagine when that news broke yesterday a lot of people will be charging their fitness trackers and looking for the swimming goggles and swimming caps because yes, indoor swimming caps because yes, indoor swimming pools will be reopening in england injust swimming pools will be reopening in england in just over two weeks‘ time for top for a lot of people, they have been shut since the start of lockdown and i am not talking about fitness fanatics. i mean families, older people, people that really invest in leisure centres as part of their weekly routine. whether it is like this or smaller centres that are still very much part of the local community. 4.7 million people in england swim at least twice a month. i have been finding out what that means to some local communities across england. these bars in manchester have an impressive history. it is the only edwardian pool still in use in history. it has been bringing the community get together for over 100 yea rs. community get together for over 100 years. we consider ourselves part of the local community. people come in forswimming, for the local community. people come in for swimming, for classes, for the gym. it has been very painful for us, not just naturally gym. it has been very painful for us, notjust naturally but being able to interact with our customers as well. and it has taken a pandemic for those two —— for this place to close its doors and for more smaller establishments, it has left them trading for water. news that people can reopen is a lifeline. the pool is more than a place to get fit. dave and his family have been coming here their whole lives. he says they have struggled without it physically and mentally. it has always been an integral part of our community here in withington. i moved away and these pesky kids came back about ten yea rs these pesky kids came back about ten years ago. hey! reid kids don'tjust swim, there is a self defence classes, i do some yoga. exercise, it is fantastic for your body but also mental health. i always feel like when you can come here, you always know someone. you never buy yourself. you can noise come and have fun, it is really nice.” yourself. you can noise come and have fun, it is really nice. i am so grateful to be one of these elite swimmers... alice dearing was able to return to training over a month ago. she was a number of team gb swimmers who have been campaigning to get pulls reopen. obviously we have had these regulations in place for the past few weeks and i kind of thought oh, ok, hopefully government can see that things are going well and nobody has taken ill yet or has coronavirus that has been training stop temperature checks and everything like that. you would think it would have sparked something to move a bit quicker but i guess that is not the case. the ball is rolling out and the relevant people are having conversations with their leisure facilities and things like that to get their facilities going. and to get people swimming, local pools are vital. but it is feared that without more government funding, many could still struggle to stay afloat. there is a concern that a lot of leisure centres will not be able to reopen on the 25th of july. those that do, they will be a lot of regulations and changes. we discussed. we are joined lot of regulations and changes. we discussed. we arejoined by lot of regulations and changes. we discussed. we are joined by roxanne who will talk me through some of these changes. i have turned up, i have got my swimming costume and towel, what happens onjuly the first —— towel, what happens onjuly the first -- -- towel, what happens onjuly the first —— —— the 25th? towel, what happens onjuly the first -- -- the 25th? you can download our app and pre— booked sessions on there, that is purely to make sure we have got a reduced capacity. when you enter the centre, they will be a cleaning station with hand sanitiser. we will be requesting that all customers use that before they enter the centre. as you can see on the floor, we have our 1—way system. again, this is to ensure that we maintain the social distancing throughout the sensor. —— centre. you will see our hairdryers are no longer in use. i noticed that as soon i walked in. making our way into the actual changing area where the lockers are, every other locker will be available. the cubicle will be available. change rooms and lockers can still be used? yes but we are requesting that swimmers come beach ready. have your swimming costu me beach ready. have your swimming costume on, have your trunks underneath your clothes, just to reduce the amount of time customers are spending in the change room. we will still have to come at the end of the day, get changed back in again. still following the 1—way system. at —— and i say it is a strange smelling the pool, seeing the poor, there is no—one in it at the poor, there is no—one in it at the moment but it will be exciting. it has been a long time and we‘re so excited to come back. we now our customers have missed the pool. it is the one exercise you can‘t replicate at home so we are so excited. when you get in the pool, there are a of regulations, trying to keep your distance in water. yes we have to make sure we have a reduced capacity in terms of bather load. the lanes will be double width. we are asking customers that they are aware of their surroundings, ensuring that social distance is maintained while in the pool as well as the set changing area. i am sure pool as well as the set changing area. | am sure you pool as well as the set changing area. i am sure you will be inundated with a lot of people excited. so many people have reached out to us and people are excited to get back in the pool and we are excited to be there too. just over two weeks‘ time. roxanne, thank you very much will stop for those looking for a bit more sport, recreational cricket actually begins this weekend. you might be inspired a little bit by england and the west indies stop we had more action yesterday on day two of the first test. you might be more inspired by the west indies captain. he claimed six wickets for 42 runs as england we re six wickets for 42 runs as england were bowled out for 204. in reply the tourists were 57 for 1 at close, trailing england by 147 runs. there were three matches in the premier league last night and the league themselves have told the bbc that they were incorrect penalty decisions made in all three of them. they admitted that manchester united‘s bruno fernandes shouldn‘t have won a penalty for this challenge — he appeared to foul the villa defender. but fernandes went on to score it himself as united beat aston villa 3—0. southampton were also wrongly awarded a penalty, after james ward—prowse appeared to fall into everton defender andre gomes. ward—prowse did go on to miss it though as the sides drew 1—1. and finally, tottenham should have had a penalty for this shove on harry kane against bournemouth. it wasn‘t given, so the match finished as a 0—0 draw. and it‘s fair to say spurs managerjose mourinho, wasn‘t happy about it. hello, jose, can you hear me? no. sorry, there is no it support here. plenty of sport to look forward to. asi plenty of sport to look forward to. as i mentioned, recreational cricket starting and for those that cannot wait until the 25th ofjuly to get in the water, i have some good news for you. outdoor pools in england, they open tomorrow. i‘m afraid to say though in scotland and wales and northern ireland, this does not apply, you will have to wait a little bit longer to dive into the top as for the outdoor pools, do you know what? you will have to ask matt about the weather. that is not on me. so, once you finish swimming you are allowed to change, use the change rooms to get dry, even though there are no hairdryers? exactly. all the ha i rd rye rs are no hairdryers? exactly. all the hairdryers are out of order at the moment. but in terms of getting changed, they are not going to make you walk back to the car in your swimming costume. you turn up with yourswimming swimming costume. you turn up with your swimming costume underneath your swimming costume underneath your clothes and then bring a change of clothes for going home afterwards. thank you and we will see you later. we are on a learning curve about various industries and how things will work in practice. beauty salons, nail bars and tattoo studios in england will be able to reopen their doors from monday in the latest announcements about easing lockdown restrictions. but not all treatments will be available — as those that involve touching someone‘s face are still thought to be high risk. threading is a problem. that‘s one of those techniques that involves ta ke of those techniques that involves take —— touching a face. we can‘t do make up either. we‘re joined by beauty therapist and make—up artist naveeda. thank you forjoining us this morning. iam right, aren‘t i? it is about things connected to touching the face. absolutely and good morning to you as well. most of our treatments when clients come in, they want their face done. that is so important to them. having their eyebrows, their lashes done. having facials done, especially after lockdown. they want to look fresh, they want something that will boost them. but they are not allowed to do it. i was excited when i first heard that we could open and then when i read the list it is like 70— 80% of treatments i do we cannot actually offer. so i don‘t know. treatments i do we cannot actually offer. so i don't know. so, is it with you being open if you are going to lose up to 80% of your business? i think it is something to start with. that is a good thing. at least to get things back to work, opening up to get things back to work, opening up and getting staff back into work. but, again, everybody thinking there will be a massive rush but if you are responsible, we are not going to bookin are responsible, we are not going to book in loads of people. we are going to make sure our treatment times are short. at the end of the day, we must be careful with all of our hygiene, making sure that we disinfect after each client and that ta kes disinfect after each client and that takes time. so we‘re not going to get a massive outpouring. in one way i suppose it is good because we don‘t offer too many treatments but it does get us ready for when it does get busy. i am just looking at some pictures of the screening that would be in place in a nail bar or beauty salon. when it comes to hygiene... whenever i have been a lwa ys hygiene... whenever i have been always expect things to be disinfected afterwards, especially as you touch parts of the body, if you get a pedicure or something, or face treatment. you would expect everything to be disinfected anyway. our working practices changing that much? not really. it isjust making sure that after each client, where we wouldn‘t necessarily disinfect every single worktop, if a client leaves are bad or a phone on a worktop, we need to make sure to disinfect now. it is just being more. . . disinfect now. it is just being more... just making sure. you are right. hygiene goes along with the salon and you‘ve got to make sure everything is clean. but when you are busy you don‘t necessarily start spraying all around the room to make sure it is disinfected. but now it is something that we really do need to do. how have you reacted, your stuff, i don‘t know how many work with you, but i suppose people are nervous in many ways and i wonder if in your industry there will be people who are nervous about coming into close contact with people who they don‘t know who they have been in contact with. i totally agree. i ama in contact with. i totally agree. i am a diabetic myself so it is not only that i am worried about being careful for my clients, i am worried about me. it is really important. so with the ppe and the disinfectant and the masks, i don‘t think it should be a problem stop we like to make sure the staff of following guidelines, making sure they are cleaning up, and throwing away everything that they use on a client straightaway. so it is not going to be difficult, i think it is just something that will be time—consuming and therefore starting slowly might be a good idea because it allows time to clean up around you after each client. and it is about making sure that we stay safe. we saw what happened when the pubs opened and it was chaos. i think we need to take responsibility asa think we need to take responsibility as a therapist and clients need to ta ke as a therapist and clients need to take that responsibility as well. but i think everyone wants their eyebrows done but they can‘t have that done. they are going to be overgrown with a moustache and everything and they want it waxed off and they cannot have it done. that is a shame. many of the treatments clients would want are unavailable. thank you for talking to us this morning and good luck with your reopening. i hope business goes well. thank you so much. take care. i was goes well. thank you so much. take care. l was concerned goes well. thank you so much. take care. i was concerned about your eyebrows, but i think you are ok.” appreciate that concern. she was the forces sweetheart whose songs helped to raise morale in world war ii. today, a flypast will honour dame vera lynn as a private funeral is held for her. she died last month at the age of 103, and will be remembered today in the village of ditchling where she lived. fiona lamdin is there for us. fiona, what‘s happening there today? i see hunting and cake. this will be quite a day and a day of celebration ofan quite a day and a day of celebration of an amazing life. a day of celebration and remembrance. you can see her picture is everywhere here in the village because this is where she lived for 50 years. it was a very sad day but also a special day. and here in this tearoom she was a national treasure but for the people who lived here, she was here for 50 yea rs who lived here, she was here for 50 years and she was very much one of their own. let‘s come over to emmett. this is your tearoom and we are in the vera lynn room. show us around. we have pictures and picture in the corner. and before we went on air, her songs were playing here while people have tea and cake. we have this room is a vera lynn room because we sell the pictures for charity for her children's charity and we are good friends with jeannie who has been amazing to us. vera will be sadly missed. she is such a treasure and we're definitely to miss her. so you are close to vera's daughter. yes. she is absolutely lovely. thank you so much for letting us come in to see your lovely tea room. letting us come in to see your lovely tearoom. now, margaret, you spent much time with dame vera. tell us about some of the special times you had together. i was very lucky to be able to do that and we had some lovely conversation sitting in her drawing room which is full of all her memorabilia and family and late husband and she was just such a kind and caring, compassionate woman, quite twinkly eyed. but a lwa ys woman, quite twinkly eyed. but always treated with the greatest respect because she is an icon and she isjust a respect because she is an icon and she is just a very lovely and warm person. earlier you were telling me she would often pull out her photo albums. a special moment. we would look through and i think one of her disappointments was that she did not have more of the photos. lots of her boys sent her photos over time and obviously she did take some herself because it is not like today when we all had a phone and could snap away. it was wartime. and she was a role model. she was. after the war, many women were meant to go back to the home and take care of family and husbands and she had family and a husbands and she had family and a husband but she went out and worked. a wonderful person. thank you very much for letting us come here this morning. let‘s peek through this window here. the streets of ditchling will be lined today as the residents of the village come out to pay their last respects to this wonderful woman. it pay their last respects to this wonderfulwoman. it will pay their last respects to this wonderful woman. it will be quite some day. thank you very much, fiona. today we mark the 80th anniversary of one of the country‘s most important victories in the second world war — the battle of britain. matt is at the imperial war museum in duxford where preparations are underway. quite a scene there, matt and i know you love looking around there.” quite a scene there, matt and i know you love looking around there. i do indeed. the museum has really ca ptu red indeed. the museum has really captured the history, and notjust celebrating the 3000 aircraft to help defeat the luftwaffe and the messerschmitt behind me but also the fa ct messerschmitt behind me but also the fact it is a huge team effort and one of the most important victories in world war ii in which the germans we re in world war ii in which the germans were trying to dominate the sky across southern england but ultimately the british raf defeated them. of course it was notjust those in the sky, it was those who operated the radar as well and the home guard, just to name a few. it is all on show here. the imperial war museum here in duxford opens on august first. as we said earlier, we hope to have a spitfire take to the air later hope to have a spitfire take to the airlater in the hope to have a spitfire take to the air later in the programme, weather permitting. let‘s have a look at the weekend first. it does look dry and bright for many of us over the past few particular over england and wales with more sunshine around. high—pressure will be moving into view across the uk we head into this weekend and that will help lift temperatures a little bit across the southern half of the country by the time we get sunday. eastern parts of scotla nd time we get sunday. eastern parts of scotland and eastern england, we still have cloud and outbreaks of rain around, showery in nature but heavy bursts are possible. right in the west but it does feel fresh out there. even here, a couple of showers possible through the david eastern scotland and eastern england are most likely to see heavy and thundery developing later on. the temperature will be a little lower than normally expected at this time of year. still reaching the low 20s in the south—east corner but for most we will sit in the teens. you do need to weigh up the fact we have a strong july sunshine overhead and it should still feel warm once that sun is out. the breeze picks up a little bit it from the north—west and will fall light as we go into saturday. tonight will be a cool night than recently and just a couple of showers around but as you can see, the temperatures in single figures as we start tomorrow morning. into the weekend, dry and bright start for many, a little more cloud to the north and west and that will bring the odd shower to the west of scotland, northern ireland, north—west england the north and wales but most places will stay during the day. sunniest towards the south—west where there is the parties conditions, temperatures similarto parties conditions, temperatures similar to today‘s high. another fresh night than to take us into sunday but we start on a sunny note yet again in the sunshine will continue the further south and east you are. more cloud, more breeze pushing into northern ireland, northern and western parts of scotla nd northern and western parts of scotland as we go through the day and that breeze could reach gale force later on and we will see outbreaks of rain but with the wind coming from the south—westerly direction, temperatures will take a person could hit 24 celsius in the corner to start sunday — to see sunday up but into next week it looks like we will return to a case of the wind coming in from the west and temperatures dropping yet again. next weekend looks a little more changeable as we go through the week with a mixture of sunshine and a few showers as we go through as well. certainly, there will be no hurricane is in the forecast but hopefully a spitfire later on. that‘s how it looks here and i will give you back to the programme. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines: no need to self—isolate on returning from holiday, as restrictions are lifted for many of the most popular destinations. flying again, but it‘s not back to normal for passengers. i‘m at gatwick with the details of what jetting off to the sun will now look like. club cricket, outdoor shows, beauty treatments and tattoos are all back on in the coming days in england. it is time to dig out those goggles and swimming caps. indoor pools like this can reopen in two weeks‘ time, but the restrictions will be tough. i‘ll be looking at how leisure centres will cope. it‘s friday 10 july. our top story: foreign travel to dozens of countries is possible from today without the need self—isolate for two weeks. the list of places includes holiday destinations like france and italy, and means tourists from the uk will be able to visit them without having to isolate on their return. but ministers are advising against all travel on cruise ships, as john mcmanus reports. spain‘s tourist industry is keen to say hola to british holidaymakers as soon as possible. paul is heading there tomorrow. now we don‘t have to quarantine coming back in, it‘s a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions — social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything. the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more of us are more likely to venture abroad now that the uk‘s travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it‘s not straightforward. take europe. if you arrive from most places, you now don‘t have to self—isolate for two weeks. but some of these countries have restrictions when you arrive there. people travelling from anywhere else — including, controversially, portugal — do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will, too. liz‘s package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight has been cancelled. from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights aren‘t currently running. so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there, and i think that‘s where the confusion is. airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they and the airlines which use them are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won‘t be plain sailing. the foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment — instructions which it says are based on advice from public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. the government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools and outdoor theatres will be able open their doors, while some sports such as cricket will also return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons, but they will be subject to some restrictions. and on 25july, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen. let‘s go to our political correspondent leila nathoo now, who joins us from westminster. leila, this news comes off the back of thousands ofjob cuts announced yesterday. we have this delicate balancing act between the government‘s need to get the economy going again and the lockdown restrictions easing, and we are watching day by day as these changes are taking place. absolutely, and don‘t forget the backdrop is ofjob losses already coming thick and fast. that‘s before, even, we have this latest stage of the reopening. boots yesterday, jon lewis yesterday, became the latest high—street firms to announce job losses. that is why you had the chancellor earlier this week announcing more support measures, the furlough bonus scheme, the discount, announced in august. even the chancellor admitted he could not save everyjob. so yes, we have this latest stage of reopening of most of the remaining sectors of the economy that have had to be shut up the economy that have had to be shut up until now. not all, of course, but i think the question is, first of all, will that reopening lead to any spike in infections? on the economic front, is it too late for many of these businesses? can they operate in this climate with social distancing measures still in place, ina way distancing measures still in place, in a way that is profitable, in a way that attracts customers? and i think that is something that is crucial now in the weeks and months to come. and you are hearing that from the government, this idea of a collective national effort in order to get the economy back on track. we have had services like it out to help out, worked out to help out, in the context ofjim ‘s. how confident people are to get back out there in public and spend their money again —— gyms. face coverings are mandatory in shops in scotland from today, and those who don‘t comply could be fined £60. it‘s one of a number of changes to lockdown restrictions coming into force this morning. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon has more. 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, for 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, yeah, i'm completely happy to do that. you‘ve a mask with you right now, so you‘ll be wearing it in the shop? yes, homemade mask, yeah. as this new measure comes in, other restrictions are being eased. up to 15 people are now allowed to meet outdoors, as long as physical distancing remains. that will also apply to limited indoor gatherings, which are now allowed, and which can include overnight stays. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail, as long as 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‘re 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‘re 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 seatbelt 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. more than 65,000 coronavirus cases have been recorded in the usa injust 24 hours — a new daily record. it brings the total number of infections there to more than 3.1 million. there has been a spike in infections in recent weeks, particularly in the south and west. president trump has dismissed concerns, saying the numbers are high because so many people are being tested. relatives of care home residents with dementia should be treated as key workers according to leading charities. it would mean family members can get more regular coronavirus tests, so they can visit loved ones safely and help with their care. the health secretary, matt hancock, says guidance on care home visits will be issued in the coming days. johnny depp has denied he slapped his former wife, amber heard, after she laughed at one of his tattoos. the actor is suing the publisher of the sun newspaper at the high court in london over an article that referred to him as a wife—beater. the sun has defended the accuracy of its story. the case continues. bison will be introduced to british woodland to restore an ancient habitat and its wildlife. european bison are the continent‘s largest land mammal, and are being introduced as part of a £1 million project to try and help manage woods near canterbury. they‘re expected to be in their new home by spring in 2022. it is worth saying it prompted a bit of discussion about wild animals being released, and i am not quite sure how we got onto it... because helen mirren, there is a piece in the times today, she scared of a bear, and the way you do that is you a naughty bear, bad bear, go away, bear. and it goes away. and the conversation became about how you deal with certain animal situations andi deal with certain animal situations and i headed in my head there is at least one wild animal from whom in the event of trying to away you zig—zag when you run, and we suggested a bull, which is wrong, and it turns out... to be fair, susan suggested all, i am calling susan suggested all, i am calling susan out on that. we have had an e—mailfrom susan out on that. we have had an e—mail from canada —— susan out on that. we have had an e—mailfrom canada —— suggested a bull. he has said regarding the advice for bears, never approach any bare, that is in capital letters, if you are in your car, stay in it —— any bear. they won‘t attack unless threatened, and learn the difference between a black bear and a grizzly bear. do you want to know the difference? i think that is probably for another time, isn‘t it? the a nswer to for another time, isn‘t it? the answer to the question which animal do you zig—zag when you run away from, it is an alligator or crocodile. it is useful information in the event of an unlikely circumstance, let‘s be honest. this is something you may have an opinion on. the rules are changing today for travel to and from scores of countries including popular tourist destinations like france and spain. but many people are keen to get away but perhaps some people are being a bit more cautious. travellers are being asked to check in online wherever possible, to reduce contact between people. wearing a face covering while flying is now compulsory. in scotland, they‘re compulsory at airports, too. passengers are being asked to arrive at the airport alone or with members of your household or support bubble. airports are also warning people not to travel if you or someone in your household or support bubble has been told to self—isolate. so it would be interesting to see if people are flying and how many planes are in the skies this morning. so what you are seeing here, it looks like a load of yellow dots, but those yellow dots are plans and those are the plans in the sky in europe on the online freight radar this morning —— flight radar this morning. i can‘t tell if it is significantly busier than it has beenin significantly busier than it has been in weeks, but the plans are up in the airand been in weeks, but the plans are up in the air and people are on the plans. —— planes are up in the air and people are on the plains. —— planes. katy austin is at gatwick airport to see what the measures look like in practice, and joins us now. and you are wearing a face mask. yes, and everyone at the airport is being asked to wear a face mask and definitely on—board as well. summer holidays might be on again but the travel experience will feel very different. so the desks here are pretty quiet, because toohey hasn‘t started its flights, not until tomorrow. easyjet is already flying, a few more passengers around, but when you get there you see a lot of signs reminding you to keep socially distance from people, keep your mask on, and when staff are involved in check—in or bag dropped they are behind plastic screens. so a few changes you will really notice. in terms of the airport being quiet, it is really quiet. normally injunior get 2.2 million passengers departing from gatwick. thisjune it was only 17,000. it is really important for the aviation and tourism industry that travel starts again. i am joined by stuart wingate, the chief executive of gatwick airport. so a really important day for you, when holidays can get going again. really important day for you, when holidays can get going againm really important day for you, when holidays can get going again. it is a very important day for both our airlines, such as 2e, but also our passengers having the confidence from many locations that they can come back and not quarantine when they arrived back in the uk. and you have had to do lots of preparations, you haven‘t had to close the airport but you have had to make changes. the teams who work at gatwick have been open throughout the period, so they have never closed down. at the airport we have spent a lot of time preparing for the reopening of a lot of flights across holiday destinations. a lot of emphasis on hygiene, so hand sanitisation. obviously the wearing of face mask, the installation of perspex screens to protect passengers and staff, so lots of emphasis really on having the hygiene levels at the airport as high as they can possibly be so that passengers and their staff are safe. and is a lot of this about confidence, really? it certainly is. today we have will have 15 aircraft moving down the runway, by the end of the month, over100 moving down the runway, by the end of the month, over 100 and by the end of august we will be busier, but by no means as busy as we would normally be at this time of year. normally you would have 900 flies, did you say? this august we will have between 300 and 400 flights, but the requirement not to quarantine is encouraging more to people have the confidence to travel and with the safety measures in place we are expecting to be somewhat busier during august. sell a very gradual ramping up of things. this has been such a difficult time, though. the crisis has really hit the travel industry, the aviation industry. what about the future of the airport? can things ever go back to where they were? well, we have had a big emphasis on safety and hygiene at the moment. a big emphasis on working with our big carriers, really important to start tomorrow, and gradually we will start to return to normal. but we think it will probably take somewhere between three and four years to recover to the 2019 passenger volume years to recover to the 2019 passenger volume levels that we were previously experiencing. and of course, you may not have all the same carriers flying from here that you did before. it is a very dynamic industry. our biggest carrier, easyjet, are flying. we're looking forward to welcoming british airways back to the airport. norwegian are already back at the airport and today 2e are having their first test flight, today 2e are having their first test flight, and as of tomorrow they are backin flight, and as of tomorrow they are back in the skies to the spanish destinations and then later in the month across degrees. and of course, gatwick has already had disease and job losses as a result of the pandemic. are you hopeful they will be no more? well, the pandemic has had a massive impact on the industry, certainly on the airport and also the airlines and all of the associated ground handling businesses. so there have been quite severe job losses and there may be some more, i'm afraid, before we fully recover. thank you forjoining us. one more change to tell you about, you cannot spend a lot of time shopping eating and drinking yet because not many cafe‘s restaurants are open yet but we do hope that will ramp up over the coming weeks and months. can you have a look at the departures board there? it is noticeable that there is literally no—one near you at the moment. other flights leaving this morning? there are. you cannot see passengers around me now is because main flights do not start until tomorrow. the staff are doing final preparations and there is a test flight preparations and there is a test flight but that is why this area is quiet. downstairs at easyjet there has been a steady stream of hinges coming through because they are flying again. we spoke to passengers going to switzerland. but as a whole, the airport is quieter than it normally would be. as passengers prepare for their first foreign travel in months, there are more major changes taking place at home, too, as the next phase of easing lockdown gets underway. swimming pools, gyms, beauticians and outdoor theatres in england will once again throw open their doors over the next few weeks. we can speak now to dr muhammad munir, who is a virologist at lancaster university. good to have you on the programme and thank you for taking time with us this morning. it is really interesting. we were talking to our correspondent at gatwick airport with a face mask on. and it will be compulsory in many cases, particularly in scotland if you go to the shops, and in airports and people are being asked to wear them. how effective is a mask? this is interesting because for the last few weeks we have been debating about wearing masks and the important thing to understand is that this virus came with many surprises and we should not take it easy. it is clear now. looking at recent data we can see that the virus has been spreading through droplets and contaminated surfaces and also through airborne roots as well. so considering the possibility of an airborne route along with other route, a mask will reduce the chances of getting the infection and spreading it. all in all it is good to have it on. just reading the fa cts to have it on. just reading the facts here, this may not be pleasant, if you sneeze you can shed more than 30,000 droplets in a sneeze, ok? so if you sneeze and that travel six feet and you wear a face covering, how many of those droplets, roughly, that out?“ face covering, how many of those droplets, roughly, that out? if you sneeze you have 30,000 droplets and each droplet is size between five and 50 mu.. smallerthan each droplet is size between five and 50 mu.. smaller than that it is big enough to carry viruses. and when you sneeze within a face covering you will still shed some virus through that the spending on how strong your sneezes. but not having a face covering, the small particles can go much longer than six feet. having the face covering would certainly reduce that distance but it is not clear how much that would depend on for as such as the sneeze intensity and the type of face covering. a question now relating about all the things that have changed today. hopefully we can doa have changed today. hopefully we can do a quick fire round. starting first with flying. people talk about how much risk there may be with particles in the air in the plane. what are the facts? the fact is that virus circulating for a longer duration. so if air—conditioning and ventilation is not enough, the risk of reaching a person at a distance is high. we were at a swimming pool and there are changes in place such as going in with your costume. the chlorine in the water, the idea is that that will eliminate the virus. what about in the area? a swimming pool outdoors is less risky and if the water is properly chlorinated the water is properly chlorinated the chances outside would be significant lower than outside where the virus would stay in the air for a longer duration. how long can it stay in the area? up to three hours, according to our own calculation. still infectious for three hours but studies we have conduct did through artificial means, artificial aerosol generation, suggests a two 16 hours but a generation, suggests a two 16 hours buta minimum generation, suggests a two 16 hours but a minimum of three. what is the risk, the likelihood of contracting it? you could socially distance but walk through a part of the year that has it? —— a part of the there. walk through a part of the year that has it? -- a part of the there. that is one of the dangers with indoor exercise and indoor businesses. that isa exercise and indoor businesses. that is a risk that once the viruses in the air, the for people to contract the air, the for people to contract the infection is very high when they are indoors at a high density. when you hear, this made me think, when you hear, this made me think, when you tell us these fact and you hear about what is opening up and i wa nted about what is opening up and i wanted to ask you about a person on a running machine in a gym, i don‘t think i could be comfortable wearing a mask. other risks sufficiently low to justify us going back to these places where things can begin the airand where places where things can begin the air and where respiratory activity is happening? if we carry on and carry out all the hygienic measures, the risk is minimised but 90% of people do not have antibodies against this virus so any change in social behaviour will bring on the risk. so we reduce the risk because we cannot stay in lockdown, even after a vaccine we have to be careful, we must be very strict with how strictly we will follow the control measures because this will help us prevent local lockdowns and second waves. i don't mean to put you on the spot that i am going to, would you go to a swimming pool? would you go to a swimming pool now? it is my personal opinion that at this stage i see there is a high risk. i would this stage i see there is a high risk. iwould not this stage i see there is a high risk. i would not go myself but that is my personal opinion. what about a gym? almost the same for me. looking ata gym? almost the same for me. looking at a scientific perspective, there is no difference between a gym being safer than a salon. we look at the density between the population and the participants rather than if there is a chance to social distance and whether hygiene is there. for us, the location does not matter, what matters are the measures required to keep us safe if they are adopted. tomorrow, would you fly? if it is extremely necessary then yes but not for leisure purposes at this stage because we still have a lot of threat out there that we need to be conscious of because this is not just a matter of individualism, it isa just a matter of individualism, it is a matter of the nation and the global health so we‘ll have to play a role. it has been interesting talking to you. thank you so much and for answering those questions candidly as well. just goes to show, doesn‘t it, that you cannot forget that the pandemic is still out there and you must still be responsible in your behaviour for the safety of others. much of what we're talking this morning are the changes in the lockdown that are happening at the moment and how people are adapting. it does affect everything about our approach to our lives at the moment, not least the way we say hello. social distancing has meant that we‘ve put a stop to shaking hands. and you and i have not had a big hug for ages. and we saw in the factory yesterday with the chancellor, he did the elbow bump. it does affect our normal behaviour. it is interesting that people do an elbow bump because they still do want to have that interaction. a handshake... how much of a thing of the past will that remain? brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been finding out. it is one of those everyday things that somehow now feels really odd. would you be comfortable shaking a stranger‘s hand at the moment? would you be comfortable shaking a stranger's hand at the moment? no, i would not. while this covid—19 is still around i think no handshakes are definitely a no—no. still around i think no handshakes are definitely a no-no. if you cannot even hug your grandchildren without feeling a bit strange, why would you shake the stranger's hand? a recent poll found that more than 60% of people say they will not shake hands with anyone ever again. time for a socially awkward greeting with professor susan mickey who heads up the centre for behaviour change at university college london. do you think, on the whole, we should stop shaking hands?” do you think, on the whole, we should stop shaking hands? i do. the reason i think we should is that it isa reason i think we should is that it is a very good way of transmitting a virus from one person to another. every year, tens of thousands of people die from seasonal influenza. that is also spread, partly, through direct coughing and sneezing but also through touching hands. so we need to try and change human routines and human habits for the long—term to decrease our transmission of any virus or bacteria in this society. so farewell to the handshake? farewell to the handshake. and i will not shake you on that. there is no doubt that shaking hand spreads germs. this study compared a normal handshake with a fist bump and found that germ transfer was 90% lower when bumping fists. so is this really the future of social greetings? all this? the hopelessly inelegant elbow. if you must do something, do that but i‘m just as happy to say hello to someone or how are you rather than that. what about fist pumping? no. i really have not thought about that at all. a fist bump is not something i think about. time for another socially awkward greeting, this time with historian louise. we meet in front of a roman wall insane organs. some historians think the handshake started with greeks and romans as a gesture of peace, holding out a empty right hand to show you have no weapon. louise is not convinced. if you have someone buy the right hand you can doa someone buy the right hand you can do a little dagger work if you wa nted do a little dagger work if you wanted to with the left and, actually, it isn‘t good position for the stabbing so i don‘t know if that is correct. the handshake is a friendly greeting gesture is more around the french revolution, the ideas of liberty and quality and freedom. the adopt of the handshake is completely equal. equal, simple and sometimes historic. it can bring together warring parties. it can heal old wounds. so if the handshake really is to go, are they good alternatives? in japan, really is to go, are they good alternatives? injapan, notably, there is a very lovely head bowing. which is very nice. and different types of bowing in depth the bowing communicate different things. in southeast asia, they have namaste. again, nice gesture showing respect, welcome, acceptance. so i think we should begin thinking about ways of communicating to other people that does not involve transmitting the virus to them. but old habits die hard. giving up the handshake is pa rt hard. giving up the handshake is part of any new normal for most will be difficult. it is really fascinating and you see it played out all the time. i don‘t know how people are but when you see people you have not seen for a while you think that you have to stop doing the things you would do naturally. we are getting used to it, obviously, overtime. naturally. we are getting used to it, obviously, over time. but it is ha rd it, obviously, over time. but it is hard and there is a lot to be said for physically touching your friends. today marks 80 years since the first military campaign fought entirely in the airduring the second world war. today we mark the anniversary. matt is at the imperial war museum in duxford. it isa it is a spectacular sight when you are up close with the spitfire, isn‘t it? are up close with the spitfire, isn't it? they are absolutely unbelievable. 20,000 of these beautiful aircraft were made, as well. played a pivotal role, of course, in that crucial battle. but what are they like to fly? who better to tell me then one of the spitfire pilots here at duxford, john remain, very good tojoin you. ——john john remain, very good tojoin you. —— john romain. how long john remain, very good tojoin you. ——john romain. how long have you been flying these aircraft at what makes it so special to you? 1987 was the first time i had the privilege of flying spitfire. they are just gorgeous aeroplanes. pilot decide if they look right, and if they look right they normally flight right, and that was very true for the spitfire. you can see the clean lines, it is a gorgeous looking aeroplane, and it flies beautifully. and it had a bit of a advantage over the german planes, didn‘t it? and it had a bit of a advantage over the german planes, didn't mm did, it was a fast, very manoeuvrable aeroplane, but also it was forgiving. so the pilots during the battle were getting tired. they we re young, the battle were getting tired. they were young, doing lots of different sorties every day, and the spitfire looks after them, so did the hurricane. where is the messerschmitt was different. the messerschmitt was different. the messerschmitt was different. the messerschmitt was a challenging aeroplane to fly and so the germans suffered a little bit with that against the guys flying spitfire. and it wasn‘t all about combat aircraft, and we have the big air show coming up and commemorations of the battle of britain in september. there is a way that people can get involved a little bit, isn‘t there? there is, we have the big battle of britain display in september with the imperial war museums. we also have a mark 11 spitfire going around doing the nhs thank you message, and people can go on to the just giving page, they can put forward the name of someone who is a loved one or has done someone particularly special during the pandemic. that name can be on the aeroplane and it it will fly in september with all of those names on it. so go to the giving page. of course, we will be seeing a spitfire hopefully take off in the next hour or so. fingers crossed it will stay dry. the greater chance actually of getting dry and staying dry throughout this weekend with a bit more sunshine around. but out there this morning, still low pressure pulling away from us. but just notice how we have that air of high pressure, in the atlantic and starting to work its way in. perfectly timed for the weekend if you have any outdoor plans. out here at the moment, plenty of cloud to eastern parts of scotland and england. some heavy showers around at the moment. in the west, it is a bit fresher to start that you have the sunshine out in many parts at the sunshine out in many parts at the moment. we could see one or two showers brewing here through the day. but across eastern scotland and eastern england, even if the sunshine does come out, there is still going to be a couple of heavy and may be thundery showers to take us through into the afternoon. more of the heavy breeze into scotland today, temperatures down a little bit on what we expect this time of year. the high of 22 degrees in the far south—east corner. most of us sitting with temperatures in the teens, but don‘t forget thatjuly sunshine is still every bit as strong. once you are in the sunshine it will feel warm enough. once you have lost the son will be a rather cool night tonight, temperatures more widely down into single figures. a few showers continue in the north and west but most places will be dry into the start of the weekend. and it should be a bright start on saturday for many parts of the uk. the best of the sunshine throughout the day across southern and eastern areas of the country. the cloud will build—up as you go through the day in western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england and north wales there is still the chance for another very isolated shower. most will be dry, temperatures are fairly similar to today. saturday night will be another reasonably fresh one, temperatures down into single figures, but for sunday, the winds going into a more south—westerly direction. most of us will start off dry and sunny. should be a sunny day across the far south and south—east of the country but the wind will be picking up across scotland and northern ireland. outbreaks of rain here later in the afternoon, but as isaid, here later in the afternoon, but as i said, south—westerly winds are where you get the sunshine, especially in the south—east, it is going to be a warm day. temperatures should be back up above where they should be back up above where they should be back up above where they should be for the time of year with a high of 24. that‘s it for me now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. foreign travel to dozens of countries is possible from today without the need self—isolate for two weeks. the list of places includes holiday destinations like france and italy, and means tourists from the uk will be able to visit them without having to isolate on their return. scotland has a shorter list of exemptions than england, wales and northern ireland. the foreign office has said travel on cruise ships should be avoided. the government has announced that leisure and beauty facilities can reopen in the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools will be able open their doors, and some sports such as cricket will return. monday sees beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons reopening. customers will be able to return to gyms from 25july. we can speak now to the culture minister, caroline dinenage. very good morning to you. thank you for your time this morning. it is a time of great change right now. as of today, there are differences of course across different parts of the uk, buta course across different parts of the uk, but a lot of people in those industries will be welcoming the opportunity to run their businesses once again, whether it is a hairdresser or a gym as they go across the next few days. how confident are you that your timing is right, the balance between getting the economy going and the safety of people? so that has always been the challenge that we have had to ta ke been the challenge that we have had to take really, really seriously, balancing the scientific advice and public health interests with economic interests as well, and making sure that we steer our country very safely onto the next step. and that‘s why we are at the stage where we have been able to make the announcement of the next batch of things that can reopen. let‘s concentrate on one or two specifics, if we might. we are spending some time at a swimming pool this morning and a lot of people will be desperate to get back in the water. very good for you, very good for your fitness. other people might be questioning whether it genuinely is safe, particularly with indoor swimming pools. can you reassure people that it is indeed... these are safe environments during a pandemic? well, you know, we have worked really, really carefully with sage and other scientific experts to be as sure as we can. you can‘t com pletely be as sure as we can. you can‘t completely eliminate any risk altogether but we are mitigating the risk as much as possible. the pools and gyms will be reopening quite soon. we have put in place quite a strict set of measures and guidelines for them to work too, to keep people as safe as possible. but you know, there are health and mental health, well—being issues to ta ke mental health, well—being issues to take into consideration here as well. during lockdown, we have really encouraged people to still go out and take exercise, because we understand how important it is for people‘s emotional health and well—being, and some countries didn‘t do that, and this is the next stage in getting people back to doing the activities that they love and keeping them happy and healthy. you talk about the scientific advice that you are following, if we can stay on the one subject for indoor pools, for example, how long does coronavirus. .. pools, for example, how long does coronavirus... how long in the air do you believe, is your advice, that coronavirus is a risk in an indoor swimming pool environment, in the air? how long a period of time?” swimming pool environment, in the air? how long a period of time? i am not the scientist, charlie. you are responsible for reopening these environments, so people would expect you to know what the risks are that you to know what the risks are that you can weigh up the benefits against the risks. so what we have done is balanced very carefully the scientific advice, and we have people... what is your scientific advice in connection with that environment? with a swimming full environment? with a swimming full environment? with a swimming full environment? with an indoor swimming pool environment. what is the scientific advice upon which you are basing your decision? we are basing our decision upon putting in place really carefully thought out mitigations, alongside the public health benefits of people being able to get back into sport and activity. well, this morning we have spoken to a biologist, and people asking these questions, as they choose i don‘t choose to go to a swimming pool, we asked him about an indoor swimming environment, dr muhammad munir, and he told us the latest scientific advice was that the coronavirus was advice was that the coronavirus was a risk for at least three hours in the air in an indoor swimming pool environment. does that correspond with the advice that you have? so i think basically you will always find scientists that have very slightly different views on this. is he wrong? sage, which is our scientific advice organisation, they come together from a broad advice organisation, they come togetherfrom a broad range of different backgrounds, and we take the balance of what they have recommended. but swimming pools won‘t be reopening until 25july, so we still have plenty of time to put in place the mitigations to make sure people feel safe being able to do it, and to balance that with the public health risks of actually not reopening things, of not allowing people to get back to their lives. you know, the british people have been incredibly strong and incredibly resilient over a very long period of time, but we must now begin to recover and eventually restore our way of life. we have to focus on giving people things to do that they love, that they enjoy, and that they love, that they enjoy, and that are really good for their mental and emotional health and well—being. mental and emotional health and well-being. it is an important point to make, and if we turn our attention to another area you are in charge of, it as, for example. now, we know that outdoor theatres, for example, will be able open shortly. there are 1100 active theatres, approximately, in the uk. and it is clearly, for them, they are desperate to be able to start doing some form of work, and these obviously are predominantly indoor theatres. at this stage, do you know how many of those theatres are in jeopardy? well, we are working very ha rd jeopardy? well, we are working very hard with arts council england to really establish that. we set up a body very early on of $160 million to support those who were at imminent risk of failure, and as you know, earlier this week we announced a much larger package, £1.5 billion, which is a world leading package of funding to support more, as they go forward. forgive me, the question was, do you know how many are in imminent threat of closure? we understand there is around 1100 active theatres, and i know that a certain sum of money has been put into the industry. but they are currently unable, in indoor auditoriums, they are unable to open. so ijust wonder, how many of those, do you know, in your role as culture minister, how many of those are in imminentjeopardy of closing? well, different people are in different financial situations, but we stand ready to support them at every single stage. so nobody should be at the point of collapse and not getting support from arts council england. they have been given the funding to do that. but in the meantime, what we want to do is getting our theatres back up and running. that‘s why yesterday we announced that outdoor theatre could start, and we have got some brilliant examples of that in the uk, a theatre down in cornwall, and at the same time we have announced pilots for indoor theatre with social distancing. we are getting that up and running in partnership with people like butlins and with the london palladium. and that will lead hopefully, shortly, to being able to open indoors with social distancing. of course, we know the silver bullet for our theatres and our entertainment industry more broadly is being able to open indoors without any form of social distancing, and of course we want to do that as soon as it is safe to do so, and that‘s where pilots and we are working very closely with public health england, will be absolutely vital. thank you very much for your time this morning, the minister of state for digital and culture speaking to us this morning. that of course crosses digital, cultural media and sport, which is one of the things we are looking at this morning, as things are starting to reopen. and holly is in manchester at a swimming pool for us this morning. we spoke to a biologist about all the technical issues about how long the virus can stay in the air. the fact is, though, that there are so many people who love swimming. it is healthy for mental health, and it is a business, and businesses are keen to get back. exactly, it is a very difficult decision, isn‘t it, and a lot of people have been campaigning for a long time to get swimming pools back open. they had hoped they would be able to reopen on fourth of july. they had to wait a bit longer, but injust over july. they had to wait a bit longer, but in just over two weeks‘ time, swimming pools and leisure centres will be reopening in england. it is great news not just will be reopening in england. it is great news notjust for fitness fanatics but for families, for older people. there are so many people, as you say, who really feel the benefits, not just the fitness benefits, not just the fitness benefits, but those mental health benefits, but those mental health benefits that you get from exercise and from swimming as well. susie is and from swimming as well. susie is a swimming teacher. you must have been really missing out over the last few weeks. yes, really, really missing out, both the swimming and the teaching, myjobs have been taken the teaching, myjobs have been ta ken away, the teaching, myjobs have been taken away, and will be for a while. for another few weeks at least, anyway. yes, definitely. on that note, i know you‘re a swimming teacher, but swimming is something is really important to you and has actually change your life. definitely, so after having kids i had post—natal depression and needed to exercise more, i tried various exercises which didn't work out for me,| exercises which didn't work out for me, i ran, a cycle, and itjust didn't work. sol me, i ran, a cycle, and itjust didn't work. so i went back to the pool and we learned how to swim really, really well, and it hasjust come along from there, really. a couple of years after that i decided to retrain as a swimming teacher, to try and help others get the benefit i had from it. it is incredible hearing your story, and being back here this morning, it is money coming back and you can smell the chlorine, you can... you know, the atmosphere in the room. you must have been really missing it over the past two weeks. it is so good to be back. there is no normally so much more noise and activity in here with screaming children and people all around. it isjust lovely to children and people all around. it is just lovely to see it all again stop with that in mind, we have been hearing from people throughout the morning talking about concerns about how we are in a confined space, you cannot wear a mask here. there will be changes implemented before the bulls open but do you have any concerns? no. ithink bulls open but do you have any concerns? no. i think it is comprehensive, the guidelines, it is up comprehensive, the guidelines, it is upfor comprehensive, the guidelines, it is up for leisure centres now to adopt and implement as appropriate to their sites. i know the chlorine in their sites. i know the chlorine in the pool will kill the virus and thatis the pool will kill the virus and that is how the pool will stay clea n. that is how the pool will stay clean. people need to listen to what the leisure centre tells them to do. it will be different. it will be strange for a while and people who are used to coming in and throwing themselves in and doing whatever they want may not be able to do that. they need to listen to the leisure centre and do what they are asked. great to talk to you this morning. thank you for talking with us. there was a campaign to open the pools and i am joined now byjane who works for swimming blend. we we re who works for swimming blend. we were expecting them to be opened on july four along with every step three guidance for all businesses on that day. we were asked to produce our guidance which is detailed, ready for reopening and we publish that on june 15 so ready for reopening and we publish that onjune 15 so we were devastated when we were not allowed to open. now swimming england has had a lot to say about the guidance but there has been discrepancy about being in the pool and how close you can be to other swimmers. a tiny discrepancy. we produced a detailed guidelines. the recommendation is for every day that i have six square metres. last night when the guidance came out, three square metres slipped in. that was the pre— covid distancing so we think we made an error so we have asked them to change that back to six square metres which every operator would be ready for anyway. so comejuly operator would be ready for anyway. so come july 25, operator would be ready for anyway. so comejuly 25, you are comfortable that pulls us safe for swimmers to return to. it is safe and controlled. we will have double width lanes in the pool and swimmers will not swim alongside each other. we change the way they swim so they do that so the transmission in the air is minimal. quite minimal. i know many people are looking forward to getting back into the water again, me as well, because it is a little warm here this morning. as i mentioned, you do need to wait until july 25, this only implies to england and not the other countries we have to wait longer full if you cannot wait to get back on the water, open water pools are open from tomorrow but i cannot promise anything about the weather. we will find out more about the weather for the weekend coming up. thank you very much, holly. the lockdown has had a huge impact on the music industry as stages lay empty and some artists turned to virtual concerts for some of their gigs. now, the government has announced that outdoor performances in england can go ahead from this weekend. crowds will be limited and social distancing rules still in place. # reminded me why we are not lovers # reminded me why we are not lovers # kissing me hard, rolling in the thunder # remind me why we are not lovers # maybe it isn‘t our time # maybe lightning strikes twice # lightning strikes twice # lightning strikes twice we‘ll speak to ben earle from the country duo you are looking suitably musical with a guitar in the family pictures behind you. how is lockdown treating you? it behind you. how is lockdown treating you ? it has behind you. how is lockdown treating you? it has been challenging as it has been for everybody. i have two young children at home, a four—year—old and then two—year—old and doing a lot of homeschooling stuff was not my forte. i cannot lie. i should stuff was not my forte. i cannot lie. ishould have stuff was not my forte. i cannot lie. i should have been on tour. it has been nice however to connect with the family. at least you can give good music lessons. you mentioned being on tour and you could not do that but there is a hen now that outdoor performances can have happen. what would that look like? for our part of the industry, i cannot really see it happening before next year. our shows, they area before next year. our shows, they are a social event and i think this announcement yesterday was great for classical music and theatres as well but when we play festivals we look out and see a sea of people who are close together and it is a social experience. that is why people go. it isa experience. that is why people go. it is a step in the right direction but my biggest concern is for eve ryo ne but my biggest concern is for everyone working in the industry. we watch people on stage and just think... you see five or ten people on stage you forget that it takes an army of people to get those people on stage and they are the ones who are on stage and they are the ones who a re really on stage and they are the ones who are really struggling. they live month—to—month and even though the announcement was great and will support venues and hopefully venues will not need to close, i do hope that there is support coming, more support coming for particularly the cruise. it is interesting how you phrase that because the impression i get is that, for example, supposing an outdoor venue gets in touch with you and says they would love you to come in to a gig and they can lay it on and it would appropriately. are you saying, personally, as in your decision, is that you do not think it would be the right thing to do? presumably you speak to other bands and artists, do you think that is the sentiment at the moment? that almost no matter what the technical, whether you are given a green light that it whether you are given a green light thatitis whether you are given a green light that it is possible that maybe you are thinking it would not be the responsible thing to do? personally, yes. if i looked out... our audience isa yes. if i looked out... our audience is a bit more mature, shall i say? but they are more at risk of catching coronavirus and i think when people have a good time it is difficult to social distance. personally i cannot believe that pubs are open. i cannot understand that. people drinking and having a good time. you want to get close. and, also, ithink good time. you want to get close. and, also, i think it is amazing that the drive—in shows are happening now is seen and the socially distanced shows with the big platforms that says a lot for the human spirit. let‘s get things happening, which is great but from a personal level, until there is a vaccine and people feel safe, i feel uncomfortable being on stage and seeing hundreds of thousands of people. it is interesting, what you are saying, it shows the number of opinions, people from different places. now your wife as a teacher and there has been so much discussion about returning to school as well. much of that is reflected in your thinking as well. much of that is reflected in yourthinking in as well. much of that is reflected in your thinking in terms of how responsible you feel you should be? the teachers have been incredible. they are putting themselves on the front line as the nurses are and lots of people work on the front line. but there is a mental health aspect to the lockdown and i have seen with our kids, going back to school was incredible for them. my son goes to nursery school four days a week and it was a wonderful time being at home for so long but they do need the social aspect to their life. my wife and her school have been amazing at keeping everyone in a bubble. great to talk to you. when you do finally get back out there, i am sure the fans will appreciated that in the meantime, keep making music and take care of yourself. 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 have recognised for the first time that a 13—year—old girl played a vital role in the plane‘s design. sophie raworth reports. newsreel: messerschmitt and junkers — way up in the sky, will face the thrashing of their life. 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 the 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 did not know until now was that the role that a 13—year—old girl played in its design. this new generation of fighter planes 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 and most thought that eight guns would be too many and 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, a talented mathematician. together, around the 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 talk about burning the midnight oil. coming into the office late after everybody has gone to carry out further calculations and borrow bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their own bat. working long hours because they were dedicated. hazel told her children about her role when they were growing up. it is such a fine thread. if she had got her calculations wrong and a decision had not been made to go with eight guns, who knows what might 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. that they had to get incredibly close to the enemy planes. just 250 yards away to stand a chance of shooting them down. hazel‘s calculations meant the government changed its mind. the battle of britain proved to be a turning point in the war. it was the bravery and success of the pilots that made victory possible, but without the support of many others, the battle may not have been won. what a great inspiration for young people today and girls in particular that can look upon someone like hazel in the early 1930s making such an important contribution. 80 years after the battle of britain, hazel hill is finally getting the public recognition she deserved. a remarkable story. sticking with the theme of commemorating the battle of written anniversary because matt is outside the imperial war museum in duxford and it is a little drizzly there this morning. just a little. and it is getting heavy making us nervous because hopefully the spitfire you see behind me will take to the air in the next 30 minutes. today is the anniversary, the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain. we need the rain to clear, however. let‘s look at the forecast because there will be showers around today but if you want something dry this weekend, most of you will get it. it does look sunny across the country, a few showers here and there but many places will be predominantly dry. the reason we have high pressure moving in off the atlantic to ta ke pressure moving in off the atlantic to take us through the weekend, there will be dry weather and the low pressure will continue to clear but it is still close enough to produce weather like this across eastern england at the moment full showery rain at the moment, still quite humid in east anglia in the south—east but further west we have sunshine and a fresh start to the day. a few showers here and there but the showers this afternoon across parts of eastern scotland and england can be on the heavy side with the odd rumble of thunder. temperatures today will be down on what we have seen recently, a little bit of a fresh feel. a high of 22. into the evening and overnight, showers will fade for the most part and there will be a couple in the north—western quarter of the country but most will be dry to take us into tomorrow morning. clear skies across the south and it will start to tomorrow with temperatures widely down into single figures. a fresh start to the weekend but a dry start with sunshine around for many of you. that will continue through the day. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines... no need to self isolate on returning from holiday as restrictions are lifted for many of the most popular destinations. flying again — but it‘s not back to normal for passengers — i‘m at gatwick with the details of what jetting off to the sun will now look like. club cricket, outdoor shows, beauty treatments and tattoos are all back on in the coming days in england. good news for water babies! indoor pools like this can re—open in two weeks time — but the restictions will be tough — i‘ll be looking at how leisure centres will cope. the battle of britain remembered — we‘re live at the heart of events marking the 80th anniversary. we will be watching this aircraft ta ke we will be watching this aircraft take off in the next 30 minutes. it‘s friday the 10th ofjuly. our top story... foreign travel to dozens of countries is possible from today, without the need to self—isolate for two weeks. the list of places includes holiday destinations like france and italy, and means tourists from the uk will be able to visit them without having to isolate on their return. but ministers are advising against all travel on cruise ships, as john mcmanus reports. spain‘s tourist industry is keen to say hola to british holiday—makers as soon as possible. paul is heading there tomorrow. now we don‘t have to quarantine coming back in, it‘s a big help, knowing that we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions — social distancing and masks and everything, hand sanitiser and everything. the hotel seems to have it mostly under control. more of us are more likely to venture abroad now that the uk‘s travel quarantine has been relaxed, but it‘s not straightforward. take europe. if you arrive from most places, you now don‘t have to self—isolate for two weeks, but some of these countries have restrictions when you arrive there. people travelling from anywhere else — including, controversially, portugal — do still have to follow the quarantine rules. and people arriving into scotland from spain will, too. liz‘s package holiday to croatia tomorrow is still booked, but her flight has been cancelled. from what i understand, although some countries have opened up to tourists, a lot of flights aren‘t currently running. so although the accommodation is available for tourists, there are no flights to get there, and i think that‘s where the confusion is. airports will become a bit busier again in the coming weeks. they and the airlines which use them are desperate to get paying passengers through their doors and into the air. but the return of international travel won‘t be plain sailing. the foreign office is advising all britons not to travel on cruise ships at the moment — instructions which it says are based on advice from public health england. john mcmanus, bbc news. the government has announced the latest easing of lockdown restrictions in england, with some leisure facilities and beauty services allowed to reopen. from tomorrow, outdoor swimming pools and outdoor theatres will be able open their doors, while some sports, such as cricket, will also return. from monday, customers can return to beauticians, tattooists, spas and tanning salons — but they will be subject to some restrictions. and on the 25th of july, indoor pools, gyms and other sports facilities will reopen. let‘s go to our political correspondent, leila nathoo, now, who joins us from westminster. as people try undigested and understand what is opening and when, this is good for those businesses but the balancing act between what is safe and what is needed to help the economy is a tricky one. clearly, there is the hope this latest stage of reopening won't lead toa latest stage of reopening won't lead to a huge rise in infections. of course, to a huge rise in infections. of course , everyone to a huge rise in infections. of course, everyone that is reopening tomorrow, in the coming weeks, will have to abide by social distancing so there will be safety measures in place. but of course, ministers are now very place. but of course, ministers are now very conscious of getting the economy back up and running as much as possible, that's why you're the chancellor rishi sunak earlier in the week, announcing more support measures to try and stem the tide of job losses, that furlough bonus scheme, leading out scheme, all against a pretty bleak backdrop, i have to say. when it comes to jobs you have john lewis and boots, the latest high street names announcing closures and potentially thousands ofjobs at risk so this is a very precarious time and i think we have got significant sectors of the economy again able to reopen, but can they do it in a way that is profitable, can they keep the safety aspect there with the social distancing measures in place? can they be inviting to customers and i think that is now a key issue. you are hearing it from the government now, urging people to have a collective national effort, if you like, to get the economy moving but can the government inspire people to behave in a way they otherwise wouldn't with those incentives that they put in place? can people get confident again to go out and spend in the way they were before? thank you. gyms in northern ireland are set to reopen today, becoming the first in the uk to welcome people back after the easing of restrictions. england will follow on the 25th ofjuly — there isn‘t a set date for scotland and wales. our ireland correspondent chris page is at a gym in belfast for us this morning. chris, good to see you. interesting we‘ve been talking about, you‘re a swimming pool today, head of preparations for opening, gym owners must be excited but there are still concerns about how to keep them safe, those who are exercising, perspiring, breathing heavily, how to keep them safe? yes, that's right, gyms are reopening here, head of the rest of the uk today. feet are pounding the treadmill is again, weights are being lifted, workouts resuming, social distancing rules in place, everyone staying two metres apart, signs to remind everyone. equipment being wiped down after every user. let's talk to a few people who have come here to this fitness centre in east belfast, bright and early. steven, what's it like to be back? it's great to be back, we missed it when it's been closed. how much have you missed it during lockdown? a lot. i never thought i would say that, i miss being at the gym! but i miss not just the exercise but the community spirit that here. first work-out for a while, how is it feeling? really tough, yes, pretty tough! getting back into it. almost like starting from scratch again, but sure, that's what it's all about. thank you for talking to us. let's have a word with tamlyn. you are one of the first people back to the gym. northern ireland is ahead of the re st of northern ireland is ahead of the rest of the uk so how have you found it? very, very good, loved it, i was a bit nervous last night about coming back but so glad to be back. what sort of a routine have you been doing? very little at the moment, tried to do home workouts but they did not cut it so i am so glad to be backin did not cut it so i am so glad to be back ina did not cut it so i am so glad to be back in a real gem, it so good. whenever you came back in and got going, how did it feel, good for your mental health as well as your physical health? yes, definitely, just delighted to be back in the zone, feel a bit weak, but still good. thank you very much indeed for talking to us. all the very best with the rest of the day. as you can see, plenty of excitement, weight being lifted, moods being lifted, energy generated, everyone being careful to keep each other safe but this isn't the only restriction being lifted in northern ireland, amusement arcades, auto playgrounds, cinema reopened as well. chris, so good to see you. thank you very much. more than 65,000 coronavirus cases have been recorded in the usa injust 24 hours — a new daily record. it brings the total number of infections there to more than 3.1 million. there has been a spike in infections in recent weeks, particularly in the south and west. president trump has dismissed concerns, saying the numbers are high because so many people are being tested. relatives of care home residents with dementia should be treated as key workers, according to leading charities. it would mean family members can get more regular coronavirus tests, so they can visit loved ones safely and help with their care. the health secretary, matt hancock, says guidance on care home visits will be issued in the coming days. mps have warned there‘s a "serious risk" that parts of england will run out of water within the next 20 years — unless urgent action is taken. the public accounts committee is calling on the government to establish a league table ranking how water companies are performing. it said three billion litres of water are still being lost every day through leaky pipes. the town now is nine minutes past eight. let‘s take you to an image this morning. these are the live images this morning. from the imperial war museum. one of the spitfire aircraft you can see there. the reason this event is taking place, it‘s the anniversary, the 80th anniversary of the start of the battle of britain. in the next few minutes we understand the spitfire you can see there will be taking off and taking part in a fly—past as pa rt and taking part in a fly—past as part of those commemorations. to tell you about the pilot flying it, his name isjohn, matt is down there this morning as well. bringing us the weather. of course, the conflict was memorialised with those words, remember that if from winston churchill, referring to the small group of pilots who risk their lives. starting up, let‘s listen in. the plane preparing to get up in the airfor the plane preparing to get up in the air for this fly—past. rather marvellous. we expect the flyover to be around 25, 26 minutes past eight. at the imperial war museum it‘s been interesting, actually it‘s going to be reopening on the 1st of august, you can see these marvellous aeroplanes. that‘s where matt taylor is this morning. commemorating the battle of britain this summer, a new hangar at duxford. that‘s where the aircraft are stored. rather lovely there. you saw the brolly taken away there, we we re saw the brolly taken away there, we were closing in. someone holding an umbrella just above the pilot, his name is john, umbrella just above the pilot, his name isjohn, he will be flying the aircraft today. just as they do those last few checks. we will keep the cameras there, we will go back to see the cameras there, we will go back tosee... the cameras there, we will go back to see there it is! shall we stated that, just for a moment? it taxis off the grass, onto the runway. looks like it is doing a turn, to take off towards the left. such a distinctive sound. many people will be watching closely as these events begin in what looks like pretty drizzly conditions. 80 yea rs, like pretty drizzly conditions. 80 years, the anniversary today, of the start of the battle of britain. love the sound of it. it is something rather special, matt has been down there this morning, very much enjoying commemorations. the time now is 12 minutes past eight. it‘s the start of the summer holidays for many people today as rules are relaxed to allow quarantine—free travel from dozens of countries across the world. but what can you expect if you‘re heading abroad? katy is at gatwick airport for us this morning. give us a sense of what it will be like. first of all, you are wearing a face mask and that‘s what everyone will have to do. the other, of course, it is deserted behind you, but there are some flights taking off today? that's right, pretty quiet although there are a few flights taking off. there will be a new addition to the list you need to rememberwhen you go new addition to the list you need to remember when you go to the airport, i have my passport, you always need to remember that but now you've got to remember that but now you've got to add a mask as well, a face mask or covering is something you are asked to wear at the airport at all times although don't panic if you forget, there are machines selling them. that's not the only thing you notice that's different, when you arrive, people advising you will be behind plastic screens, as you go through, you might already have checked in on your phone or online but as you go through to drop your bag, you will notice more signs reminding you to wear a mask and hand sanitiser points, extra cleaning in place as well. you will keep your mask on when you go through security and on the flight itself. the chance to go on holiday isn'tjust nice for passengers itself. the chance to go on holiday isn't just nice for passengers who have been missing the chance to go abroad, it's really important for the travel industry because as you said, this airport has been pretty much deserted. normally injune you would have 2.2 million passengers departing from here on a normal june, this year it was 17,000, absolutely huge drop. gatwick airport has already had to make job losses to cope with the impact. airlines also losing thousands of jobs. it's an important moment. i'm here with martin kleiman from last—minute dot—com, talking about how people have been behaving at what they've been booking. obviously a big drop off and people booking, but has not picked up? in march, april, may, we see dramatic change in business. from june, april, may, we see dramatic change in business. fromjune, and i think injuly, every time the government makes an announcement like the air bridges, we see a massive surge in people excited and browsing and starting to look again for their holiday. what are the most popular destination so far, now people know they won't have to quarantine when coming home most of those countries? we see domestic business, sharp increase, people thought their summer holidays were going to be cancelled, now it looks like the summer is going to be back on so they can book again, looking at all their favourite destinations. for us, it's been spain, greece, france, italy. all the familiar destinations where people are desperate to get back and have a holiday this year after such a terrible time. our people booking as well as browsing? my god, they are booking! it's not back to full business, like anyone, but when we consider perhaps, in march, 95% down, i think today, something like 65% down compared to la st something like 65% down compared to last year, not back to full but they are definitely booking and there's definitely a lot of business happening, yes. people getting much more confident about the fact they can go on holiday. over the last few months, people complaining they have struggled to get refunds for cancelled holidays from some travel companies including last—minute travel dot—com. are you getting on clearing the backlog? it's a number one priority. we were holiday booking company, never a refund company, so we had to adapt quickly. it's not easy, of course. the number one priority is the customer. we are very lucky as a company, we don't have assets, the customer is our numberone have assets, the customer is our number one focus. that's what we do. we focus on the refund, but thankfully, we are focusing on bookings as well. people come i guess, wanting flexibility about their booking, wanting to know absolutely. we focus on flexibility, if you are booking a hotel you look for a flexible package and we have many of those and we highlight those. and of course, you do good research, find out the hotels are safe, the destinations are safe, there is a lot more to the booking process but hopefully, we've made it easier and a nicer process for the customer. martin, thank you so much for joining customer. martin, thank you so much forjoining us. finally, one more thing you notice when you get to the airport, normally you might want to sit in the departure lounge with a coffee, or a meal, sit in the departure lounge with a coffee, ora meal, not many restaurants open, that will ramp up over the coming weeks but if like us, you fancy a nice early morning coffee, you might be disappointed at the moment! really interesting looking around, katie, thank you. we can speak now to the travel editor of the independent, simon calder. he‘s at london city airport this morning. simon, good to see you. as we‘ve been waiting to talk to you, we saw katie at gatwick, it was really quiet but she was saying some flights are opening tomorrow. what‘s been your observations in terms of busyness, frequency of travellers at london city airport? london city opened for international flights today. it opened domestically a couple of weeks ago, but it's been very quiet. normally at this time of day, you will get loads of people flying out to frankfurt, zurich, edinburgh, all sorts of business destinations. those aren't happening yet. there's been flights so far to palomar, ibiza, malaga in spain, another one, 920 sam going to florence. if that's not exotic enough, you can go to teesside or dundee! that's something to look forward to! but it's quiet, people started getting here are 5:30am, planes are by no mean full, there is ple nty of planes are by no mean full, there is plenty of room if you want to plan your escape. here's a question from dave, simon. in relation to the flights themselves, what it‘s like when you‘re on board, he said i went to majorca on a fly, everything fine with masks. until we got in the air. they were selling drinks, food, which then led to everyone taking off their masks. no social distancing, questions need to be asked to airlines serving food and drinks. on the plane. i mean, what are the guidelines? what's the procedure? it's all different, depending on what airline you refer to and! depending on what airline you refer to and i imagine this one was ryanair, it's even selling scratchcards, can you believe! aer lingus, easyjet, simply giving you a glass of water if you ask for one, not serving food and drink, british airways giving you a bag with crisps, biscuits, bottle of water, which you have to remove your mask for but anyone who thinks there is anything remotely compatible between social distancing and passenger aviation is, i'm afraid, completely mistaken! if you do not like the idea of being in close proximity to other people, you don't know, simply do not go flying anywhere yet! it is not a socially distancing experience, particularly in my experience, particularly in my experience, when you get to an airport, you are put on a bus so you are standing like that for 20 minutes when you travel around to the terminal. it's not for the faint—hearted. the terminal. it's not for the faint-hearted. really interesting, we‘ve been talking about so many things today. it‘s going to come down to personal preference and how safe they feel. a couple of practical questions. heidi says, as we started to fly again what happens if we have antibacterial hand bottles, will they be taken away from us, as it‘s a liquid, do we keep this, it‘s more critical than the risk of terrorism she says. difficult to obtain and replace immediately when you arrive at the destination, she says she would want to hold onto it. yes, but look, the 100 mil rule has applied for the la st 100 mil rule has applied for the last 14 years. you can get plenty of sanitisers, i've got it in 100 mil sizes, as katie said earlier, almost nothing is open air site, which ever airport your ad, if there is a well— known high street airport your ad, if there is a well—known high street chemist, that will be open and it will be able to sell you more if yours gets confiscated. it is a matter planning, just expecting to be told what to do, lots of social distancing inside the terminal but of course, when you get on the plane, the airlines are desperate to sell every seat they possibly can. if they can do, you will find yourself very close to other people. simon, the significant change today, for many flights coming in, there is no longer a quarantine requirement. you arrive, this applies to british people who been away but also to those people coming to this country from many, many destinations. that is quite a significant change, isn‘t it? it is. at last the travel industry feels it can start to offer something like a proper summer with spain, france, italy, croatia, greece and many other countries on the list of places from which you don't need to quarantine. if you are coming to england, wales, northern ireland. spanish travellers coming to scotland will still need to self—isolate at home for two weeks. don't think, i am flying into manchester or newcastle, i will dodge it, you won't be able to, you have to fill in a passenger locator form, if that is if you are going to be in scotland, they will come and look for you if you are supposed to be quarantining. it's still a real mess and i tell you what. overnight, there's been confusion about what happens to people who took the advice on your programme, one week ago today, when grant shapps told you if you were quarantining, having been away say, right back in the la st been away say, right back in the last few days, from today, you can stop quarantine, that's what he said to you. and the foreign office has backed up that position. but the home office appears to be saying, no, you have to comply with the rules as they applied when you landed. it's a right old model. hopefully, we'll get some clarity later but for many of us who planned our travels on the basis of what he said on your programme last week, it's a bit of a mess! well, really confusing. simon, thank you so much. we will try to muddle the mess. always good to see you. take care. simon making reference to some of the restrictions, we will hopefully be speaking to nicola sturgeon in a few minutes. and will talk about the difference between the various regions of the uk. what‘s it like for businesses abroad who are waiting for british tourists? we‘re joined now by sue aspey, who owns the wigan bar in malaga. good morning to you. how are you? good morning to you. how are you? good morning. yes, very good, thank you. it's sunny here, it's beautiful. the sun is shining, the sea looks really inviting. i tell you what, we‘ve been asking this morning, our viewers, you what, we‘ve been asking this morning, ourviewers, how they you what, we‘ve been asking this morning, our viewers, how they feel about flying and there is a real mixed bag about confidence, about getting on the plane and how safe it is at the destination. tell us what it is like you are? i believe it's perfectly safe. we are all really conscious, you know, we've got our families, we don't want to have covid—19 here any longer. all the bars and restaurants are sanitising, somebody comes to the terrace, into the area, they use the sanitiser immediately. when they've left, the tables are sanitised with aspirate that we have, especially purchased. everybody is doing this, the chairs, everything. it really is, i really do believe there is a safe, i have no fears for my family. if they come over, no fears at all. it's charlie here. good morning, charlie! such a beautiful scene, many envious eyes from here looking at where you are. i wonder in terms of the beach itself, we can only see a little bit behind you, is that being separated out to a degree? how are they monitoring people‘s behaviour? out to a degree? how are they monitoring people's behaviour?m out to a degree? how are they monitoring people's behaviour? it is separated out. they have sun beds at greater distances. and also, you can't actually see it in the position of the camera. but there is a lifeguard station which isjust out of your picture. that would normally come that would be monitored with one person but they have four people now and they are continually come up and down the ladder, into that lifeguard station, coming down, speaking to the people on the beach, making sure they are distancing. they've got other patrols that come along and anybody that isn't obeying the rules, they are told, you know, it's working very, very well. the andalusian government seem to be really switched on and we feel safe. and the holiday— makers that switched on and we feel safe. and the holiday—makers that have switched on and we feel safe. and the holiday— makers that have already arrived to have said they feel safe. talk to me, we‘ve seen the pubs open here in the uk. in england. we saw lots of pictures, people really excited about getting to the pub but you are a bar owner, when some people, when they‘ve had a few drinks, you become more relaxed, the social distancing rules appear less important or seem less important, perhaps, when you‘ve had a few drinks. how are you coping with that, how are you prepared for that? we are more of a that, how are you prepared for that? we are more ofa bar that, how are you prepared for that? we are more of a bar restaurant, really. yes, we do have people that come in, we show the sport, etc. but it's more of a family bar, you know? so we don't get people particularly, that come in and drink a lot and get rowdy or whatever. but it is going to bea rowdy or whatever. but it is going to be a problem all over the world. if people had too much to drink, they get to huggy and over here, the police, again, they will, if you call them, they will respond to that. and separate the groups. we are nearly done now but ijust want you to emphasise how lucky you are to be where you are, i know it‘s work for you but give us a quick run down. for example, what‘s the temperature? how has that sea, have you been in the sea lately? it was the tourist guide! being honest, i've been here 20 years, i've not beenin i've been here 20 years, i've not been in the sea in the last four! which is very remiss of me. when you live here, it'sjust part of life, you know? it'sjust lovely. the temperature has been around about 32, 30 three degrees. the sun has been shining every single day. i cannot remember the last reign that we had. it'sjust beautiful, we are so lucky. really lucky. and anyone thinking should i, shouldn't i go on holiday please, go on holiday, wherever you go. certainly, holiday please, go on holiday, whereveryou go. certainly, in spain, in andalusia, in malaga, you will be safe. it's lovely seeing that sunshine. i think you need to ta ke that sunshine. i think you need to take a moment, get into that water! four years? the countryside is so beautiful. i like going out into the villages and things. generally, doing a bit of touring around, rather than sitting on the beach. but maybe i will follow your advice and have a dip later. i am with you, sue. you stick to what you enjoy. so lovely talking to you. thank you so much. goodbye. the time now is a 20 8am. today, we mark the 80th anniversary of the battle of britain. we saw that spitfire taxiing earlier. matt is at the imperial war museum in duxford. he is responsible for all the weather and i think he has messed i weather and i think he has messed n weather and i think he has messed up! can we please have that sunshine we had in spain? we have been defeated by the weather i am so very sorry. the spitfire, you can see here, back from its taxiing. you cannot have desperately low cloud, the spitfire has to run on visuals. we have looked at this time but it will be featuring throughout the commemorations for the 80th anniversary through the summer, all the way through to early and mid—autumn. to tell us more about why we are here is their curator from the imperial war museum adrian. tell us what duxford is so important when it comes to the battle of britain. it was an raf fighter base during the battle, also a station, it had an operations room that controlled the aircraft in the area. directed towards the enemy. several squadrons operated from duxford during the battle, particularly from september, they were quite heavily involved in the fighting over london and the south—east. there is a lot of heritage here. it's been a tough time for everyone. you have closed as well but thankfully, with the commemorations, you're set to reopen. org is the first, we will be reopening with social distancing measures in place —— august the 1st. and in september, we will reopen our new battle of britain exhibition, we will have the operations block, where you can learn about how the operations room worked and the people who worked on it and we will be open battle of rating exhibition in the hangar, you can learn about some of the aircraft vehicles and other equipment that was present during the battle and the people associated with it. and, weather permitting, there will be more opportunities to see the spitfire up in the air. thank you forjoining us. sorry we didn't bring you the weather we wanted this morning but, if you hang around for the weekend, things are set to get better. let's have a look at the forecast because things will turn drier and sunnier for many of you as we go into the weekend, the big improvement particularly across england and wales. low pressure is moving off into other parts of northern europe and we will replace it with high—pressure moving in of the atlantic this weekend and high pressure generally means much more in the way of drier conditions and the closer they are to the centre, the closer they are to the centre, the sunnier it can be. at the moment, the best of the sunshine is to the west, a fresh start but the sunshine warming things up. a north—westerly breeze could bring one or two showers through the date in the west, but eastern scotland, eastern england, lots of cloud, some showers pushing towards east anglia. they could be some heavy showers later on today, the odd rumble of thunder in eastern counties of england and a north—westerly breeze, so temperatures down a little bit in re ce nt so temperatures down a little bit in recent days. most places in the teens, at the highest, 22 in the south—east corner. once you have lost the sunshine of the day in the west, it will turn quite cool through tonight, temperatures down into single figures for many. most of the showers will fade away but one or two will continue to the south—western corner of the country but most places dry as we head into the weekend and a slightly fresh start to saturday. but a dry start for most of you, reasonably sunny as well. the best of the sunshine is the further south and east you are this time. in the west, a bit of cloud bubbling up, some sunny spells and a small chance of a shower in western scotland, northern ireland, but most places will be dry, similar to today. the winds go to a south—westerly on sunday which will bring more cloud to northern ireland and western scotland later in the day, outbreaks of rain and a win could touch gale force before the days ahead but with a south—westerly wind and plenty of sunshine the further south and east you are, it is going to be warmer. temperatures could hit around 24. next week, westerly winds are back, temperatures down to where we should be if not a little lower than normal and some sunshine at times, but showers will be back, too. i am so sorry we weren't able to bring you the spitfire in the air but, as naga says, it is all my fault. it is a magnificent site behind you anyway, just sitting there. and get yourself dry, it hasn‘t gone unnoticed. thank you very much. you are watching brea kfast you very much. you are watching breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it is a day of changes and lockdown restrictions in the uk. we will take a look at what is happening in scotland. face coverings are now mandatory in shops, except for young children and people with certain medical conditions. up to 15 people are now allowed to meet outdoors, as long as physical distancing remains. limited indoor gatherings are now allowed and can include overnight stays, but, again, must maintain social distancing. and the two—metre rule is being eased on public transport and in retail as long as strict conditions are in place to reduce the risk. we‘re joined now by the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon. good morning to you, thanks for your time this morning on breakfast. good morning, nice to be with you. the sun looks like it is shining up there. you have made it compulsory for people to wear face masks in shops. why shops, why not other hospitality settings, perhaps retail? sorry, just retail. because people going into shops, it is an enclosed space and somewhere where it can be difficult to keep a physical distance safely and public transport, which has been mandatory for some time, our judgment transport, which has been mandatory for some time, ourjudgment is that it should be the law that people wear face coverings. in, for example, a restaurant or a wear face coverings. in, for example, a restaurant ora pub, for obvious reasons, it is more difficult to wear face coverings because of the nature of the activity you are doing but there needs to be other mitigations in place in these kinds of settings. so this is about taking a common—sense, practical approach but we know that there is, ithink, increasing evidence now that wearing a face covering can play a part in stopping the transmission of the virus. i think it's important to say it is not something that gives you immunity to the virus or as a substitute for the other measures like washing your hands properly and save physical distancing, but it can add a layer of protection and as we start interacting with each other much more now, it is important that we do all of the things that reduce the ability of this highly infectious virus to spread, so i hope everybody across scotland today complies with the law on public transport, trains, buses, ferries and now in shops, it is compulsory to wear a face covering. what will happen if they don‘t? who polices it? the police. how does that work? you go into a shop, you are wearing a mask, you going to change room and ta ke a mask, you going to change room and take it up and say i don‘t want to wear it, whose responsibility is it? first of all, if you are not wearing a face covering, and the police will undoubtedly tell you you should be and try to encourage you to do it, ultimately, the police can impose a fixed penalty notice, a fine, in other words. but i have compared this to the wearing of seat belts. when you get into a car, you don't have a police officer standing next to the car checking you are wearing a seat belt. if you are caught not wearing one, you can of course be fined but that is not why we wear a seat belt when we get into a car. we do it because we know it is for our own protection and, for the foreseeable future, what i'm saying to people is that wearing a face covering in a shop or public transport should become as automatic tellers as putting the seat belt on when we get into a car. that is the kind of enforcement regime but also the attitude and approach to this that i hope people will take. what is your feeling about how people are viewing the pandemic? because when you see things easing, and i know scotla nd you see things easing, and i know scotland has been at a slower pace, compared to england particularly, there is also that feeling that life gets back to normal. what is your gut feeling about how people feel in terms of safety and abiding by the rules ? terms of safety and abiding by the rules? people in scotland are, by and large, abiding rigorously by the rules. we now have infection rates in scotland that are very low, perhaps five times lower than they are in england, but this is a key pivotal moment. i describe it in the scottish parliament yesterday as a moment of optimism. we have driven the level of the infection right down and all of these new freedoms that we are going to be able to enjoy over the next few weeks are ha rd enjoy over the next few weeks are hard earned by all of us, but this is also a moment of maximum danger. we describe ourselves as having been in lockdown for the last almost four months, but, actually, putting ourselves into lockdown, we have put the virus into lockdown and, as we come out of lockdown, we let it as well, so if we don't take great care over these next periods, then the risk is the virus starts to spread again, because it hasn't gone away and we see in many other countries, much of america just now, melbourne in australia which, just a few weeks ago, had infection rates lower than scotland's i think, and now it is in another six—week lockdown, so this isa another six—week lockdown, so this is a highly infectious virus, as infectious as ever and very dangerous so, as we start to interact, particularly indoors where the risk of transmission is much greater, we have to find other ways of denying get the chance to spread. we have described in scotland, we have the withington campaign, face coverings, avoid crowded places, clean hands, test and self—isolate and if we follow these five key measures, then we have a much better chance of keeping this virus under control as we get things back to normal, but life should not... i'm interested when it comes to the rate of infection or the number of infections per pupil 100000 and in scotland, it is so much lower than the rest of the uk —— number of infections per 100,000. yet you have been slower in terms of ease in lockdown and we will come to air bridges... we have been a bit slower and more cautious in easing lockdown. interpretation of the words, absolutely. what is the science that is guiding you to be more cautious, that is different to what is guiding the uk government?” don't think the science is different, the science is the same. lam applying different, the science is the same. i am applying myjudgment to that science in the decisions that i and the scottish government are taking. lam not the scottish government are taking. i am not criticising other governments, we all have to take their own decisions and none of these decisions are easy but my responsibility is to look at the evidence, to look at the scientific advice and say, ok, what do i think and what does the government think we should do here in order to ease ourselves out of lockdown without, as we do it, giving this virus the chance to run riot again. is it not confusing for a citizen of the uk to see quite different opinions and actions being taken in response to the same science? no... if you look at scotland right now, put the pandemic to one side, we have different rules on the drink—drive limit, for example. we have different rules on the price of alcohol. you know, the scottish parliament takes a whole host of decisions. we have free prescriptions and free tuition in scotland that doesn't exist elsewhere in the uk, so the people of scotland are used to having a parliament that takes its decisions at the law in scotland, as relates to the tackling of the pandemic, is what people in scotland, whether they live in scotland or are visiting scotland, had to comply with. and i am not complacent about this, these things can change in the course of this virus very quickly and that is why i am pretty nervous about the next few weeks, as we come, ina about the next few weeks, as we come, in a much more significant way than we had to date, out of lockdown, but i would say that the viruses at lower levels in scotland thanit viruses at lower levels in scotland than it is in the uk as a whole, which says to me that you know, maybe we are doing things reasonably well and getting things reasonably right and people in scotland understand the rules pretty well and are abiding by them. it is down to people across the country that we have got infection rates as low as we have just now, because people have been complying with the laws and with the guidance. the big challenge for us now, and it is not going to be easy, is to get our lives back to some kind of normality where we keep the virus under control and there are parts of the world right now where it is surging out of control again, and that should be a warning to all of us. as a scottish nationalist and someone who has been pro—scottish independence, this difference and the comments that have been made around the way you have handled this and the scottish government has handled this, this is playing into your hands in terms of an argument for independence, isn‘t it? your hands in terms of an argument for independence, isn't it?” your hands in terms of an argument for independence, isn't it? i have never seen this pandemic is an argument for or against independence. i have tried not to be political, party political or engage in constitutional politics over this. there are people out there who are going to believe i'm treating this as some sort of fuel for an argument for independence and believe the worst of me and there is possibly nothing i can do to change their minds, but i think most fair—minded people will see the scottish government having play this with a straight bat, having tried to protect scotland as much as we can from a deadly virus and that is what i will continue to do. and as would appear to be the case right now, and i'm not complacent about this, the majority of people in scotland appear to think the scottish government is doing an okjob around this, then i am not sure that is something that should be a criticism of the scottish government. my challenge now, having got to where we are, is to keep on doing the things and persuading people across scotland to do the things that allows to keep this virus under control. we face very immediate threats of spikes in this virus as we come out of lockdown. what we are seeing across the world right now is not a second wave, it is a continuation of the first wave and as lockdown is lifted and the virus gets the chance to spread again, we have got to contain that, drive the infection is as low as possible, in case we do face, which is highly likely, perhaps, a genuine second wave come the winter. the more successful we are now is getting as close to elimination to this as possible, the more able we will be to cope with that later in the year and that is all i am focused on right now, trying as far as possible to protect people from a virus we know is deadly but also, increasingly, we know does long—term health damage to people get it. nicola sturgeon, first minister of scotland, thanks very much for talking to us. of course, we are talking to the politicians of the uk about the principles and the structures and we are also very interested... holly is ina are also very interested... holly is in a leisure centre, a swimming pull, and how will all of this work in practice as things reopen? tell us how where you are will work. good morning. yes, as you say, it is something we have almost gotten used to, rules and regulations as places we and swimming pools are no different. as you come in here, you will have your costume are already on, your towel at the ready and there are hand sanitising areas in place, remind us to keep the two metre distance and, we are used to it now, following the one—way system so you are not meeting any other swimmers coming in and out. you might notice there are some hair dryers. they are out of use because of the rules and regulations, bad news for people like me, you have to leave with wet hair but i‘m sure we can get used to it. again, following the one—way system, there are lockers in place but they are advising people to avoid them as much as possible but they are there in practice, as well as changing rooms, so when you come out of the pool rooms, so when you come out of the pool, you don‘t have to get into your vehicle wearing your swimming costu me, your vehicle wearing your swimming costume, you can get changed, so bring a change of clothes with you. so following the system once again. it has been a while since we have seen this, back into the swimming pool seen this, back into the swimming pool, you can smell the chlorine, the familiar smells but what is really unusual is the fact that there is no one here. no children playing or anything like that but that will reopen once again on the 25th ofjuly in england, and it is great news not just 25th ofjuly in england, and it is great news notjust for fitness fanatics but for people who really see their local leisure centre as a place to get into a routine, i suppose. for families, for older people. and it is notjust state—of—the—art facilities like this one but also for those local community centres that are the heart of those communities across england, asi of those communities across england, as i have been finding out. withington baths in manchester has an impressive history. it‘s the only edwardian pool still in use in the city. it survived two world wars and it‘s been bringing the local community together here for over 100 years. we consider ourselves really integral to the local community. so we have people coming in for swimming, for classes, for the gym. it‘s been very painful for us, not just financially but being able to interact with our customers as well. and it‘s taken a pandemic for this place to close its doors to the public and, for smaller establishments like this, it‘s left them treading water financially. so the news that many places across england can reopen is a lifeline to those who feel their local pool is more than just a place to keep fit. dave and his family have been coming here their whole lives. he says they‘ve struggled without it both physically and mentally. it's always been an integral part of our community here in withington. and then i moved away and ended up, cos of pesky kids, came back here about ten years ago. hey! the kids don'tjust swim here, they do self defence classes, i do a bit of yoga. there's all sorts of stuff going on. and exercise, it's fantastic for your body but also your mental health. i always feel like when you can come here, you always know someone, you‘re never by yourself. so you can always just come and have fun, and it is really nice. as an elite athlete, alice dearing was able to return to training over a month ago. she‘s one of a number of team gb swimmers who have been campaigning to get public pools reopened. obviously, we‘ve had these regulations in place for the past few weeks and i kind of thought, oh, ok, hopefully government will see that things are going well for us, nobody‘s taken ill yet or nobody has coronavirus that‘s been training, and how well we can stay apart, the temperature checks and everything. you think it would have sparked something to move a bit quicker, but i guess that‘s not the case, but at least the ball‘s rolling now and the relevant people are having conversations with leisure facilities and stuff to get this going. and to get people swimming, local pools are vital. but it‘s feared, without more government funding, many could still struggle to stay afloat. yes, that is a concern from swim england, a lot of swimming pools require funding to make sure they can reopen but those that can, a lot of people excited. mike and ev, looking forward to the 25th ofjuly, you must have really missed it the last few weeks. definitely, swimming has been part of our live, we are stuck on pretty much every sunday as a family, so we are looking forward to being part of our weekly routine. tell me, what is your favourite thing about swimming, what have you missed? i have missed playing with my family. i suppose it is a great place to come and meet your friends as well? i don't really have any friends that come to my swimming lessons. you will have to get them involved! and so it is swimming lessons that you do and have you really missed out on those? yes, a bit. so you are looking forward to getting back in. what is your favourite stroke? front crawl, backstroke? backstroke.” favourite stroke? front crawl, backstroke? backstroke. i like backstroke? backstroke. i like backstroke as well. and it is not just about physical health, it is your mental health as well. it is quite a lot of people‘s routines, to come here early in the morning every day or at the weekend, and it is a massive part of family time so it will be good to create those routines again. you are not alone, john and sophia are here. john, you must have been really missing out. yes, so, even from a young age, i swa m yes, so, even from a young age, i swam and played water polo so being ina swam and played water polo so being in a leisure centre is kind of like within me, so being on lockdown and not being able to go to a pool has been quite tough, even with the kids. the seven—year—old on lockdown, loads of energy, so it is great for them to go in and burn everything off. it must be really difficult for you, sofia, everything off. it must be really difficult foryou, sofia, because you haven‘t been able to do exercise andi you haven‘t been able to do exercise and i reckon you really love exercise. yes, i really like doing my exercise. what is it about you lovers —— about swimming that you lovers —— about swimming that you love and the pool? you get to come here and you go away from the pool and maybe get some juice and sandwiches and things, good to meet your friends? sandwiches and things, good to meet yourfriends? and sandwiches and things, good to meet your friends? and maybe sandwiches and things, good to meet yourfriends? and maybe the sandwiches and things, good to meet your friends? and maybe the odd party as well? so it won‘t be long before you can go back. i do need to ask, a lot of people are still very concerned, coronavirus obviously is still there. are you concerned about bringing yourfamily still there. are you concerned about bringing your family here still there. are you concerned about bringing yourfamily here on still there. are you concerned about bringing your family here on the 25th ofjuly? no, because, obviously, as you can see looking around, the team have done an excellent job in making around, the team have done an excellentjob in making sure it is safe for not only the staff that had to come back above the customers, when we arrive as well. so i would feel quite confident that we can come back and keep ourfamily feel quite confident that we can come back and keep our family safe. it won‘t be long before you are making a splash. the 25th ofjuly, that does only apply to england. you will have to wait a little bit longer if you are in scotland, northern ireland and wales. i have just thought of a good use for this, if the cameraman might accidentally fall in the water, i could always fish him out. that wasn‘t a threat! naga: des know you too well! take care, holly. —— they know you too well. it is interesting seeing them go around the pool, all the changes with the social distancing, a lot of people will be concerned. with the social distancing, a lot of people will be concernedm with the social distancing, a lot of people will be concerned. it is like this rethink, a lot of places and people, how they behave more generally and, for example, the whole business of how you greet people. it is handshaking, which people. it is handshaking, which people are simply not doing at the moment, unless it is by accident and then you stop and realise... it has happened to one or two people. perhaps thinks it is —— means it is the end of the handshake. graham satchell has been looking into it. it is one of those everyday things that somehow now feels really odd. would you be comfortable shaking a stranger‘s hand at the moment? no, iwould not. while this covid—19 is still around i think no handshakes are definitely a no—no. if you cannot even hug your grandchildren without feeling a bit strange, why would you shake the stranger's hand? a recent yougov poll found that more than 60% of people say they will not shake hands with anyone ever again. time for a socially awkward greeting with professor susan mickey who heads up the centre for behaviour change at university college london. do you think, on the whole, we should stop shaking hands? i do. the reason i think we should is that it is a very good way of transmitting a virus from one person to another. every year, tens of thousands of people die from seasonal influenza. that is also spread, partly, through direct coughing and sneezing but also through touching hands. so we need to try and change human routines and human habits for the long—term to decrease our transmission of any virus or bacteria in this society. so farewell to the handshake? farewell to the handshake. and i will not shake you on that. there is no doubt that shaking hand spreads germs. this study at aberystwyth compared a normal handshake with a fist bump and found that germ transfer was 90% lower when bumping fists. so is this really the future of social greetings? orthis? the hopelessly inelegant elbow bump. if you must do something, do that but i‘m just as happy to say hello to someone or how are you, rather than that. what about fist bumping? no. i really have not thought about that at all. a fist bump is not something i think about. time for another socially awkward greeting, this time with historian louise rawls. we meet in front of a roman wall in st albans. some historians think the handshake started with greeks and romans as a gesture of peace, holding out a empty right hand to show you have no weapon. louise is not convinced. if you have got someone by the right hand you can do a little dagger work if you wanted to with the left and, actually, it is good position for the stabbing so i don‘t know if that is correct. the handshake as we think of it, as a friendly greeting kind of gesture, is more around the french revolution, the ideas of liberte, egalite and equality and freedom. the adopt the handshake as completely equal. equal, simple and sometimes historic. it can bring together warring parties. it can heal old wounds. so if the handshake really is to go, are there good alternatives? in japan, very notably, there is a very lovely head bowing. which is very nice. and different types of bowing and depths of bowing communicate different things. in southeast asia, they have namaste. again, a very nice gesture showing respect, welcome, acceptance. so i think we should begin thinking about ways of communicating to other people that does not involve transmitting the virus to them. but old habits die hard. giving up the handshake as part of any new normal for most will be difficult. the handshake. the funeral will take place today of dame vera lynn. it isa it is a very special day for for the people in the village of ditchling where she lived and fiona is therefore for us now. good morning. yes, as you say, in a few hours' time, the streets behind me will be filled with residents as they come out to say their final goodbyes. susan is one of dame vera's very good friends and you also worked with her. tell us a little bit about how you first met. i first met dame vera when i was a teenager and then over the last 20 years, became a very close friend and acted as her personal assistant. tell us some of the beautiful stories you have been telling me this morning. the fish pie! one of dame vera's favourite meals and she used to come very regularly and have the meal at home and i think one of the meal at home and i think one of the things that would surprise people is the sheer volume of mail she receives, for her 100th birthday, we had 3,500 cards and we are getting them from children as young as five who are probably studying history on the curriculum and her music is playing and something in her voice touches them and they write to her. and people up to the age of 100, obviously some veteran still around from burma that correspond and she signed all of her letters herself. and a very humble lady. incredibly humble, never forgotten her roots, and i've never seen her upset or irritated by signing something or meeting people, she loved it. thank you very much, i understand today will be a very difficult but moving day for you. david, you are in charge today, tell us what people can expect. well, i am hugely proud to be leading the events today and what is going to happen is that dame vera‘s coffin will be brought to the top of the high street and she will be met by a military guard of honour and we will process down the high street but stop at midday for a fly—past, two spitfires at midday will circle the village three times and then the procession will go on and we will ta ke procession will go on and we will take her to the crematorium for a private service with the family. thank you very much. it is a very special day, she will, at her ashes will be buried here alongside her husband at this church in her beloved village, where she will always be remembered. fiona, thank you very much and how lovely that the sun is shining for what will be a very special day down there. thank you. we will be back with you tomorrow morning from six. whatever you are up to today, i hope you have a good day. bye-bye. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. foreign travel to dozens of countries is possible from today without needing to self—isolate for two weeks on return to the uk. now we don‘t have to quarantine coming back in it‘s a big help. we can just go out there, we can stay in the hotel, obviously taking all the precautions. as the requirement to self isolate when returning from dozens of countries is lifted, the travel industry hopes more people start booking their holidays. i am at gatwick airport to find out what the new travel experience will be like for passengers. outdoor shows, team cricket, beauty treatments and tattoos are all coming back in england in the next few days.
