Woman hatches ducks from Waitrose eggs

A woman has hatched three ducklings called Beep , Peep and Meep from eggs she bought in Waitrose .
Charli Lello , 29 , from Hertfordshire , put the Clarence Court eggs in an incubator as an experiment to pass the time after being furloughed .
She said the ducklings would live `` a very happy life '' with her pet chickens .
A Waitrose spokesman said fertilised eggs were safe to eat and `` entirely indistinguishable '' from normal eggs , unless incubated .
Ms Lello , who normally works as an assistant manager in a shop , got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Facebook of someone hatching quail eggs from a supermarket .
`` While I was in Waitrose , I saw the duck eggs and thought maybe they would work as well .
I was so excited for them to hatch but I still had in the back of my mind that these are supermarket eggs .
`` They have been collected , bashed around on a delivery truck , then rattled around on a trolley onto a shelf , picked up and put down by who knows how many people , so they still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' A month after putting them in the incubator , Ms Lello heard a tiny beeping sound and the Braddock White ducklings started to emerge from their shells .
She said it had been an `` amazing '' experience hatching the `` cutest little balls of fluff '' but she would not be repeating it .
`` The only reason I could try was because I am currently furloughed and have the time to raise them to an age where they wo n't need me all day .
Under normal circumstances it would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , '' she said .
A Waitrose spokesman said it was `` notoriously difficult '' to identify the sex of white-feathered ducks .
`` Our farmers work hard to ensure ducks and drakes are separated correctly .
As a result of this difficulty in sexing , a male white-feathered duck may very occasionally be left with a group of females , although , these instances are extremely rare .
`` There may also be instances when a wild duck encounters farmed drakes , but again , this is rare , '' he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Farms said : `` It is a feat of remarkably slim odds that a duckling has been hatched .
But we acknowledge that it 's not impossible . ''

bbcuk--2020-06-13--The Salisbury Poisonings: TV drama revisits Novichok attack 'horror'

Scenes of streets in lockdown , health officials wearing PPE , dangerously contaminated surfaces and a battle with an invisible enemy are set to feature in a new TV drama from Sunday .
But the events depicted in BBC One 's The Salisbury Poisonings took place two years before the coronavirus pandemic began .
The three-part series is based on the events of March 2018 , when the Wiltshire cathedral city faced one of the biggest threats to UK public health in recent years .
Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found slumped and foaming at the mouth on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poisoned with the deadly nerve agent Novichok .
The government would later conclude it was an assassination attempt by two agents of Russian intelligence service the GRU .
It 's an extraordinary story , which Salisbury is still recovering from .
But the dramatisation is n't some kind of James Bond-style spy thriller .
The Skripals are only seen briefly at the beginning of the first episode , and the Russian suspects are not shown at all .
Instead , it focuses on the response of the local community and health officials .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the people who had to clean up this mess , rather than the people who made it , '' says Declan Lawn , who co-wrote the script with Adam Patterson .
`` It 's about ordinary people who have to pick up the pieces .
We thought that 's where the drama was , where the emotion was .
We did n't want to do the obvious thing , which would have probably been an espionage drama .
`` But I hope that what we 've done is show that there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for us , they are a hidden network of people who keep this society together . ''
At the centre of the The Salisbury Poisonings is Tracy Daszkiewicz ( played by Anne-Marie Duff ) , the director of public health for Wiltshire .
She had been appointed just three months before the Skripals were poisoned , but had worked for Wiltshire Council for more than a decade .
In reality , Daszkiewicz played an integral role of the response to the poisoning , but avoided media exposure - in part to not betray @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the police , she used CCTV to work meticulously to find out who the Skripals might have come into contact with on the day they were poisoned , and took a cautious approach to protecting the public .
`` To us now , it seems perfectly logical , '' says Duff , referring to how common certain health measures have become since coronavirus .
`` Of course we close our doors and windows and wear masks , but at the time , it seemed like she was being thoroughly extreme and overreacting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tracy is her background .
Her background is in social work , she 's very grassroots , she comes at things from a tactile level .
So she 'll ask , 'What do we know to be true ?
What do we know if someone has food poisoning ?
What if the water source becomes contaminated ? '
'' Both Skripals survived the attack , as did Det Sgt Nick Bailey , a police officer who was one of the first to respond to the attack .
But a local woman , Dawn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the substance several weeks after the initial attack .
On 30 June , Ms Sturgess and her partner Charlie Rowley became unwell at a house in Amesbury , eight miles from Salisbury , after spraying a bottle of perfume containing Novichok on her wrists .
The perfume had been given to her as a gift from Rowley , who had found it in a charity shop bin .
He said it had been disguised as a well-known perfume brand and was in sealed packaging .
Actress MyAnna Buring , who plays Ms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Salisbury Poisonings may surprise those who remember media coverage of her death in 2018 .
`` A lot of us remember a lot of news outlets describing her as homeless and a drug addict , and in doing so sort of dismissed her death as inevitable because of her life choices , '' Buring recalls .
`` And that simply was not true .
She was not homeless , she was not a drug addict , she was a woman who had experienced mental health issues , and knocks in life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can relate to .
She did struggle with alcohol but she was working really hard to turn her life around .
She had a loving family , partner , friends . ''
It can often take a long time for a TV drama or film to be made about a real life event , but The Salisbury Poisonings has been turned around relatively quickly .
Indeed , the series was only completed in the last few months .
Director Saul Dibb explains : `` We filmed our last sequence the week before lockdown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after that we finished it remotely .
It just had this creeping sense of resonance as coronavirus took over us . ''
The drama was filmed mainly in Newport , south Wales , plus Bristol and other parts of the south-west , rather than in Salisbury itself .
Duff has said producers were `` very sensitive '' about where to recreate certain events .
Nonetheless , there has been some criticism of the drama , including from DS Bailey 's parents , who said in a letter to a local newspaper last year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' .
DS Bailey himself , however , did not object , and has met the actor who plays him , Rafe Spall .
Like ITV 's recent drama Quiz , the BBC has decided to broadcast the three episodes on consecutive nights , rather than risk losing momentum ( and audience interest ) by making them weekly .
As a drama it `` works as a narrative on a number of different levels '' , says Dibb .
`` It 's partly a domestic drama , partly a thriller , and partly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this invisible enemy that can kill lots of people .
`` So it was about finding ways to harness all of those things to be able to tell a story which I think all of us felt had the potential to be more than a straightforward docu-drama .
`` And it 's extraordinarily surreal , this weird thing happening in the middle of this small British cathedral city , that even if you were directly poisoned or not , everybody - it seemed to me - became contaminated by this poison . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ at 21:00 BST on Sunday 14 June .

"And that simply was not true. She was not homeless, she was not a drug addict, she was a woman who had experienced mental health issues, and knocks in life, which I think all of us can relate to. She did struggle with alcohol but she was working really hard to turn her life around. She had a loving family, partner, friends."


bbcuk--2020-06-13--Growing up black in one of England's whitest counties

When Cheveay Oakley moved from London to Cornwall with her mother at six years old , she had never experienced any racism .
But with the predominant ethnic group in Cornwall being `` White '' - accounting for 98.2 % of the population - and the south-west region being the least diverse in England , she began to face challenges she had never even thought about .
From having racial slurs shouted at her from passing cars to being singled out in class when the history of slave trading was being taught , Cheveay , 20 , explains in her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grow up as a black person in one of England 's whitest places .
'My first memory is of racism' I was born and originally lived in London .
When I was six years old , I moved to Camborne in Cornwall with my mum , Ali .
That 's where her family lived so we did it to be closer to them .
My mum is white and my dad is Jamaican but it was n't until we moved to the south-west that I encountered my first racism experience .
I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about seven or eight years old in infant school .
I had been in Cornwall for about a year or so .
Some boy called me a brownie .
I was so confused about the fact he would use it a lot to tease me .
This is n't only my first memory of racism , it 's my first memory ever .
I remember my mum came into the school to address it and how the mother of this boy started crying .
She was really upset and felt really guilty .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ before this so I 'd gone to nursery and reception there .
A lot of my classmates were from all over the world .
Then to come to Cornwall and be the only black child - I was not used to this sort of thing .
I had never even thought of it .
It made me think 'What 's wrong with me ? '
and then I was suddenly aware of being different in that area . '
I was really embarrassed and felt naked' My mum struggled with how to explain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to tell me that I might have to face this kind of stuff in my life .
People saying these things and making judgements based on my skin colour .
I did struggle with fitting in with particular groups as I got older .
I do n't know whether that was predominantly because I was black though .
As a person generally , I was quite isolated in that sense as well .
I moved friendship groups a lot and did n't really enjoy school .
We barely covered any black history at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the slave trade when I was about 14 or 15 years old .
It resulted in a teacher singling me out in front of the whole class of white students asking me how I felt to be the only black child .
I just remember this sinking feeling .
I was already very aware I was the only black child in that classroom .
I was really embarrassed and felt naked .
I remember my mum being very upset about it .
There were so many occasions that have stuck with me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at me from passing cars .
This happened on multiple occasions .
It was humiliating .
There were people who said `` I 've never been with a black girl '' or who felt they could continue to ask more personal questions .
I was scared to meet people 's parents in case they did n't like me or judged .
Cornwall is a beautiful place , with some beautiful people who are so accepting and without prejudice , but there is still a very backwards , old-fashioned mindset there .
It was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as people would say `` oh , you 're so white '' or `` you act so white '' .
What does `` acting white '' mean ?
I 'm acting like a person .
There 's no acting white or acting black .
I 'm a British person . '
I would let people use racial slurs' When I would call it out , people would ask why I was using the race card .
But it was because they were being racist .
It would get to a point where I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things to me and I would n't call it out .
I would let people use certain racial slurs like the N-word .
I would allow it or otherwise I would n't be accepted .
Looking back at my younger self , I kind of wish I was stronger as a person and strong enough to stand my ground .
I think because I was so scared about not being accepted and not having any friends , I just allowed it .
If I was the person then that I am now , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be treated that way .
I recently joined in an anti-racism protest in London with my cousin .
It was really such a lovely experience .
To see that many people come together , of all races , goes to show it is n't about white fighting black .
It 's a fight against racism .
To see the amount of respect people showed for George Floyd , and all the other people who lost their lives , was amazing .
There was one point we were kneeling in complete silence .
Everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was no judgement from anyone and to feel that included was so nice .
This whole movement at the moment and the way people are coming forward with their own experiences , that 's what made me want to speak out .
I hope I can help other people to use their voice .
I think education is key .
It 's about educating people to understand that if you see someone who looks different in a place where the majority of people are white or black , it should n't make a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person .
One thing I try and do is not get upset with the person who is being racist because they 've learnt it .
It 's not them as a person .
It can be unlearnt .
It 's about getting them to understand .
Being mixed race , I have one side of me that 's white , that I can educate .
And a black side that I can empower and help become equal .
I 'm aware I have two races I can help .

I had gone to school in London before this so I'd gone to nursery and reception there. A lot of my classmates were from all over the world. Then to come to Cornwall and be the only black child - I was not used to this sort of thing. I had never even thought of it.


bbcuk--2020-06-13--My Money: 'We are £200 to £300 a month worse off'

My Money is a series looking at how people spend their money - and the sometimes tough decisions they have to make .
Here Laura Tarver from Oxford takes us through a week in her life during the coronavirus pandemic .
Laura is 35 and lives in Abingdon , just outside Oxford with her husband , two-year-old daughter and cat .
She works part-time as a speech and language therapist both for the NHS and privately .
Her husband Tim is a doctor .
In her spare , toddler-free time , Laura enjoys running , and during lockdown has taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ am woken at six by my little girl Izzy shouting from next door .
Today I am working from home , while she goes to the childminder .
Our time during lockdown has been quite varied .
At the start , I tried to juggle my two-and-a-half days of work around childcare , being very thankful that I did n't work full-time .
I then had a very brief stint being redeployed as a home carer within the NHS , and now that things are starting to get back to normal , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and language therapist again , thankfully while Izzy continues to go to the childminder .
Today , the childminder fees for June come out - £563 for the month ( although the government pays 20 % of this as part of the tax-free childcare scheme ) .
As all of my work is usually schools based , it is not known yet how long we will have to work from home for - we are starting to try to carry out more therapy online , but this is tricky with many of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very small plus side , working from home is saving me money and time on commuting , which is often an hour each way in Oxford traffic .
I spend £33 on filling up the car today , which I have to do significantly less often than pre-lockdown .
Today , during my lunch break , I pop out to pick up some clothes and a toy trolley for Izzy , which I found advertised on a Hand me on Baby and Toddler site I follow on Facebook .
These sites have saved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years , as well as avoiding buying new when not needed .
Generally , I like to get as much as possible from places such as this , charity shops or second-hand sales , although with those not being available over the past couple of months , I have had to get a few bits like toddler sandals and shorts during my weekly shop .
Our fortnightly cleaner also starts back today , hurrah !
Although a bit of a luxury , I feel that this £20 a fortnight is more than justified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in our marriage !
In the evening I take part in an online ukulele course , shown on Facebook .
In non-Covid times , these take place in a pub in Oxford .
Although lockdown has obviously limited our opportunities to go out , I was never able to make this class in person due to Izzy 's bedtime , so having the chance to do it online now is a plus !
The class organiser has kindly made the class fee voluntary ( £6 ) for those who are on limited finances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go out today , making me feel considerably poorer !
Our mortgage is £1,000 a month , while a combination of various insurances ( cars , house , pet ) , mobile phone , council tax and a couple of charity and professional subscriptions comes to £314 .
We try to review these fairly regularly , to check that other subscriptions have n't sneaked in that we are no longer using , but they do seem hard to pare down .
I pop to the supermarket to get a few bits we are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ £18 .
This includes a big bag of compost - like half the country , I 've got into gardening during lockdown .
Because I do n't have a clue what I 'm doing , anything that does n't die feels like a bonus - and I ca n't wait to see if we get anything edible out of it in a couple of months time .
I also treat myself to a takeaway chocolate milkshake from a local cafe ( £3 ) .
This is the first time I 've had the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weeks , and feels like heaven !
Later on , I buy an e-book for a bargain £2 .
I usually tend to try to get books out from the library , or from the charity shop , but again with those options out of action at the moment , I have been getting a few online .
Today me and Izzy head to the supermarket for our main food shop of the week .
This comes to £63 , which is a bit less than usual .
Although most of our spending @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supermarket spends have definitely gone up - probably due to less eating out , and feeling like we deserve some `` treats '' at home !
In the afternoon , I take Izzy for a bike ride near our house , on her balance bike .
Lockdown has meant I 've got much better at finding these close by , free activities , whereas before it was always easiest to sign up to classes like music or gym classes for easy entertainment .
It 's nice to have time to play at home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tied into a schedule , as well as saving some cash !
In the evening I carry out some private speech therapy online .
Pre-lockdown , I saw four or five children privately every week .
This has now decreased to only two , who I see online .
I have n't yet got my head around how to provide therapy online effectively for everyone I see , but need to start thinking about that if the situation is unlikely to change for a while .
For the moment though , this does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worse off .
Today we have a lovely walk with a friend , her toddler and two-month-old - the first time I 've met the little one !
While it 's great to be allowed to meet up again , I am missing our usual options of a cup of tea in someone 's house or a cafe , especially given the looming rainclouds .
Still , it 's another free outing .
We also treat ourselves to our weekly lockdown takeaway , this week Lebanese .
This has been a little treat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away of going out for dinner , to pubs , cafes etc , although ironically we used to manage this much less than once a week .
It 's also the time in the week that me and Tim make to sit down and have a proper conversation , which can often get missed with work and toddler bedtimes .
We are making our way through all the local places still offering takeaway food in our town - all to support the local economy of course !
Today 's was £40 , quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for tomorrow lunchtime too .
More blogs from the BBC 's My Money Series : • UK : 'This was not a normal week - our spending doubled ! '
• China : 'People have started leaving their houses again' • Canada : 'With love on my side , I can get through today' Today me , Tim and Izzy meet up with some different friends to help them walk their dog .
Our child entertainment options have changed a lot since lockdown .
Previously we would have relied a lot more on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , farm parks and cafes .
Now , we tend to have a walk or a cycle ride , with a packed snack for Izzy .
It 's enlightening to see that she gets just as excited by these smaller , cheaper trips as the previous bigger ones , although she does keep asking for different activities she is going to do `` when virus gone '' .
Although we have definitely saved money on our weekend trips out , we did compensate for being at home so much with a 10ft trampoline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so we hide out at home in the afternoon with a film .
We also have to jumpstart the car .
( Note , do n't let your toddler play at `` driving '' without checking the lights are switched off at the end ! )
I clearly do n't learn from my mistakes as the same thing happened a few weeks ago with the other car !
Luckily this time we do n't have to end up shelling out for a whole new battery ... Another day , another walk with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a local farm park , which has opened up a few walks past the animals , and ( woop woop ) the cafe !
So we spend £2 on parking and £5.50 on ice creams for us all .
It 's been lovely this week catching up with friends we have n't seen for so long .
This afternoon , despite having time to cook , we were all feeling super lazy , so we got Domino 's Pizza ( £20 ) , which made me feel a bit guilty from both a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ always we promised ourselves that next week would be better… How does Laura feel about her week ?
As it was `` bill week '' , this obviously made it much steeper than other weeks in the month .
Taking out the bills and childcare costs , we spent £209 on other things , which is more than I was expecting before adding it all up .
It was a slightly decadent week , with two takeaways , but apart from that I do n't think there were any other big luxuries .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has gone up since lockdown , I think spending has gone down on other things such as trips out and shopping for non-essentials , so I do n't think we are doing too badly .
We 're looking for more people to share what they spend their money on .

Pledges have been made by police , the council and community leaders aimed at bringing about long-term change in Bristol following the Black Lives Matter protest that saw a statue of Edward Colston toppled .
Protesters tore down the statue of the 17th Century slave trader and pushed it into the city 's harbour , in one of the most symbolic moments of a series of demonstrations around the country .
An estimated 10,000 people had gathered in Bristol to demonstrate last weekend and many said the events felt empowering but they hoped for real change in the city .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the city 's history in a pledge to better understand its story , while other pledges made include updating the school curriculum and efforts to improve BAME representation within the police force .
The statue was recovered on Thursday morning from Bristol 's harbour and is set to become a museum exhibit , alongside protestors ' placards from the demonstration .
Mr Rees , Bristol 's mayor since 2016 , said : `` The events over the last few days have really highlighted as a city we all have very different understandings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way we can work together on our future is by learning the truth of our beginnings , embracing the facts , and sharing those stories with others .
`` Bristol 's journey to become the modern city it is today includes a history of huge disparities of class , race and gender and the struggles for equality . ''
Following many calls for schools ' curriculums to better reflect the culture , literature and history of black communities , Joanne Jefferson , head of English and associate head teacher at St Katherine 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the school would be leading on cultural awareness and inclusion in September .
She said the protests had inspired the school to `` evaluate everything '' about its teaching .
`` White privilege and what it means is one of the first things that we are educating our young people on , because there are elements of mainstream media and people in society that think it 's a made up thing .
It 's not - it exists , '' Mrs Jefferson said .
`` One of the things we are trying to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our young people to put themselves in somebody else 's shoes . ''
Mrs Jefferson and two of her black colleagues recorded a video conversation about the issues to show pupils `` it 's OK to talk about race '' .
The school has launched a reading challenge to `` promote black fiction , political fiction and anti-racist fiction '' and encourage teachers `` to educate themselves '' on race .
Liza Bilal , 21 , one of the organisers of the city 's protest , has pledged to lobby the government into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
She said : `` It is so companies are actively hiring , and filling their boards with , black and brown people .
`` Martin Luther King said 'protests and riots are the expression of the unheard ' , so if change does n't occur and we do n't see it soon there will be more protests . ''
Desmond Brown , chair of the local group of the Lammy Review , investigating racial bias in the criminal justice system , said he had collected data on how decisions were made at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through the system .
He pledge to create a framework , working with people in independent advisory and community groups , that would see information flow between the community and police so pressing issues could be raised .
And Mr Brown said he would offer workshops to help young black people `` survive encounters with the criminal justice system '' , access help and not become criminalised .
`` This is a defining moment and if we do n't see change here , I do n't think we are going to go back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brown .
`` I think the rage in young people across the board , black and white male and female is - enough is enough now . ''
A spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police 's outreach team described an ambitious vision `` to be the UK 's most inclusive police force '' .
She said : `` We currently do n't represent the communities we serve and so this needs to change .

bbcuk--2020-06-13--Coronavirus: Retailers call for reopening date for Scots shops

A date must be set for shops to reopen , the trade association has said .
The Scottish Retail Consortium has called for the Scottish government to announce a provisional reopening date .
The Scottish government said its total package for businesses during the `` unprecedented economic crisis '' was now in excess of £2.3bn .
Only essential shops such as those selling essentials including food and medicine can open in Scotland at present .
So-called `` non-essential shops '' in Northern Ireland , such as clothes shops and bookshops , are now open again and a full range of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Monday .
The SRC is concerned about the ongoing economic impact of the lockdown and worried that after shops in England start reopening , the problems for retailers here might grow .

Mr Macdonald-Russell stressed he did not want shops to reopen until it was safe .

`` Importantly , we have extended the eligibility criteria for our small business and retail , hospitality and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upper threshold for retail , hospitality or leisure properties with individual rateable values of up to £18,000 each .
`` We have also published workplace guidance to support the retail sector 's return to trading . ''
The Scottish government 's National Clinical Director Prof Jason Leitch told BBC Scotland he was hopeful there could be good news for retailers soon .

Retailers argue they would like a provisional date for a number of practical reasons .
These include preparing shops for social distancing measures , bringing back staff and planning sales promotions .
There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Scottish border that customers might head to shops in , for example , Carlisle or Newcastle if there is no indication soon of a reopening date .

Some shops would hope some customers might shop at what are normally the quieter times of the week to help prevent queuing and spread out business .

Ewan Macdonald-Russell of the SRC said: "We really need an indicative timetable so we can put the right measures in place so we're ready to trade and customers can have a bit of confidence when they can come back to shops and get the products we're all hoping they'll want to buy."

A coronavirus community recovery fund worth £250m should be set up to support the hardest-hit communities , the Welsh Conservatives have said .
The party 's group leader in the Welsh Parliament said it would help address a `` public economic crisis '' .

Mr Davies said the business rates relief scheme would `` support those existing businesses in those communities , but also attract new businesses '' .

The delay in getting children and adolescents back to schools is a `` national disaster '' that is putting their mental health at risk , say leading psychologists .
In an open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson , they say the isolation of lockdown is harming already vulnerable young people .

And she described hearing some `` heart-breaking stories '' of children struggling .
The letter also points to evidence that children are at low risk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leading cause of death in 5-19 year olds in England and the second leading cause of death in young people globally ; thankfully , Covid-19 will never claim this many young lives , '' it says .

`` For the last three months , the only living thing I 've touched is a dog . ''
For people living alone like Jan Maddox , 71 , the risks of loneliness in lockdown are significantly greater , according to data .
Boris Johnson has announced that , in England , adults living alone or single parents can form a `` support bubble '' with another household .
But that 's not the case in Wales , with Cardiff Bay saying changes will only be made when it 's safe to do so .
And Jan , whose partner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to struggle .
`` I did have a terrific social life , '' she said .
`` I was always out with friends , pub quizzes , music - everything .
That all stopped .
It 's been a very lonely time . ''
Jan , from Newport is one of nearly eight million people in the UK who live alone .
They are a group at significantly greater risk of loneliness during lockdown .

`` At the beginning we managed alright .
But now we 're three months in ...
I think mentally we 're getting a bit stretched . ''
Wales ' next lockdown review is due on 18 June , but it is not clear whether there will be similar support bubble measures introduced .
New ONS data showed working-age adults living alone are at greater risk of lockdown loneliness than older people , and those aged 16-24 more than twice as likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 55-69 .
Craig Johnson , 29 , lives in Cardiff and says there 's a `` tension '' between what people living alone would like to see on an individual level , and what `` the collective societal thing needs to be '' .
`` I live alone in a small flat .
In normal times I would 've largely just come home to eat , come home to sleep .
`` The rest of the time I 'm either working in an office with colleagues , with friends or I 'm in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ café , with friends , or friends are coming here for food .
`` Prior to March every bit of what made my life happy , every positive thing to look forward to during the week are the kind of things not now allowed - and with good reason .
All of my life was non-essential social and close contact .
`` From a public health angle , I support the fact they are n't allowed .
But it 's kind of follows that if everything I did that was a good thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now do , that has knock-on effects for how happy and mentally healthy you feel .
`` Draining I think is the word . ''
Craig said he broadly supported the Welsh Government 's `` more cautious approach '' .
He added : `` The UK government has been talking about quarantine corridors between the UK and other countries so that people could have holidays in Portugal or in Spain .
I watched that thinking : ' I 've not had a hug for three months . '
Can we balance the priorities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lloyd , 66 , who lives inland from Colwyn Bay , the differences in lockdown rules between England and Wales have made things harder .

`` I 'm lonely , I do n't see anybody .
All I see is sheep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like I am being punished for abiding by all the rules and regulations . ''
Simon Jones , head of policy at Mind Cymru , said : `` The coronavirus pandemic is as much a mental health crisis as it is a physical one .
`` People are really struggling with isolation , stress , grief , financial worries and fears about the future .
`` People who live alone have been particularly affected by lockdown , and we know that loneliness is a real problem . ''
He said it is `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who live alone at the moment .
`` A good place to start is to ask them how they are , and what support they need , and listen non-judgementally to their response . ''
Before the lockdown began , the Welsh Government launched a loneliness strategy , including a fund of £1.4m over three years to help tackle it .
Julie Morgan MS , Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services , said £440,000 of this has been given to a scheme to tackle loneliness in older people at this time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to speak to weekly .
But she acknowledged loneliness during lockdown is an issue particularly affecting young people .
`` Obviously , the physical health of people is the primary concern .
But we are aware that the longer it goes on , it does have an effect on people 's mental health .
`` So all of the decisions we make are a fine balance between those two - we are trying to do all we possibly can to mitigate loneliness and the inevitable mental health problems that arise from that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Ministers review all the restrictions in place at each review period - and then decide what , if anything , can be changed .

Seventy-two people died as a small kitchen fire in the west London tower block turned into the most deadly domestic blaze since World War Two .

bbcuk--2020-06-14--Coronavirus: 'It's very exciting to be returning to work'

`` It 's very exciting , we ca n't wait to have our customers back , '' says Annie Martin , who manages the Waterstones Piccadilly bookshop , in London .
Non-essential retailers , such as fashion , toy and book shops , will be allowed to reopen in England on 15 June - as long as they have coronavirus-related safety measures in place .
Waterstones , for example , is introducing Perspex `` sneeze screens '' and a quarantine trolley where books that have been browsed will be held for `` a couple of days '' .
`` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it normally would be , '' says Annie .
`` We 're still encouraging people to browse , we 're just looking after those books once you 've browsed them . ''
Annie has been working on implementing those changes behind-the-scenes , but is also looking forward to seeing her colleagues back in-store .
`` Bookshops are quite close teams ... We 've been messaging , but it 's not quite the same as seeing colleagues in person for a chat , particularly about the books you 've been reading on furlough .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ what will the rules be ?
• 'Your High Street is back open for business' Suki , who works at a Boots beauty hall in London , also says that it 's `` refreshing to come back to work , which is like my second home '' .
Most Boots stores have remained open during lockdown .
That means that staff on the beauty counter have had the chance to trial different ways of working about a week before shoppers return to the High Street .
Boots is removing all make-up testers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its beauty halls , to try to keep both customers and staff safe .
Suki acknowledges that some changes could make shopping more difficult .
That there wo n't be testers is `` going to be a shock for a lot of us , because with beauty you often need to try things on , '' she said .
`` The visor is n't the most glamorous thing in the world , but it does mean that I 'm not touching my face and my make-up can stay on longer .
And , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' she adds .
Overall , Suki feels as though she 's in a safe pair of hands : `` We 're all as nervous as each other , so I think as long as we all take the necessary steps , we 'll be fine . ''
Shoppers , though , might be feeling more anxious about their return to the High Street .
More than half of UK customers expect they will now go shopping less often over the next one or two years , according to a survey of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ EY .
One trade body , the British Retail Consortium ( BRC ) , is urging the public to `` play their part '' in making shopping safer .
Along with 25 other retailers , it says customers should follow five steps : Helen Dickinson , the BRC 's chief executive , said : `` Every visit we make helps support jobs in retail , as well as throughout the supply chain .
Retailers have been working around the clock to create a safe shopping environment '' .
`` Our shopping experience may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow the necessary social distancing measures and show a little consideration to those around us , then everyone will be better off . ''
Her plea was echoed by Damian McLoughlin , chief executive of Homebase .
`` While the vast majority of our customers have adhered to the safety measures we have in store , in recent weeks , a small minority of shoppers are disobeying the guidelines set out and at times reacting abusively when challenged by store teams , '' he said .
`` It 's for this reason we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to help us reverse the trend that saw cases of abusive incidents towards shop workers rise by 9 % during the last year . ''
For any customers who do n't want to go into a store , HMV will offer to do their shopping for them .
From Monday , people can drop in a shopping list , a team member will collect it , package it up and have it waiting for the customer to pick up later .
Alternatively , customers can ring their local HMV to have a product @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on .
The idea came from the chain 's Canadian customers who have been a little bit more cautious about returning to stores as opposed to its US shoppers , says its owner Doug Putman .
So what does he expect from customers in England when HMV opens 93 shops on Monday ?

Many retailers in England will soon open their doors for the first time since lockdown measures were introduced in March .
No dates have been set for the reopening of non-essential shops in Scotland and Wales @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its planned stages for lifting lockdown .
Those in Northern Ireland have been open since Friday .

Richard Lim , chief executive of Retail Economics , said : `` The survival of so many retailers will hinge on the success of reopening stores over the coming weeks and the pace at which consumers return . ''
Mr Lim also pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online seen during lockdown may change shopping habits for good .
`` Many of these consumers are shopping for goods online for the first time , overcoming the barriers of setting up online accounts , entering payment details and gaining trust .
It is inevitable that some of these behaviours will become sticky , '' he said .

For physical shops , a rare ray of sunshine from the lockdown could be customers wanting to visit local shops as they work from home and spend more time near their homes , he added .
`` I do believe one of the things to come out of this is a concentration on local areas , '' he told Sky .

For any customers who don't want to go into a store, HMV will offer to do their shopping for them. From Monday, people can drop in a shopping list, a team member will collect it, package it up and have it waiting for the customer to pick up later. Alternatively, customers can ring their local HMV to have a product put aside for them to collect later on.


bbcuk--2020-06-14--Coronavirus: How will secondary schools reopen safely?

As some Year 10 and Year 12 pupils in England prepare to go back to school on Monday , secondary head teachers are having to overcome an array of challenges .
Plans shared with the BBC suggest the arrangements will vary widely .
More than 300 schools and colleges told us they were mainly offering between five and 30 hours of face-to-face teaching each week .
Some are making the return gradual , starting with pupils who are struggling the most , with many providing individual pastoral sessions to check on mental health .
The Sixth Form Colleges Association says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ face-to-face teaching does not impact on support for pupils who are still at home .
• When will secondary schools go back ?
At Ivybridge Community College on the southern slopes of Dartmoor in Devon , principal Rachel Hutchinson has been putting the final touches to plans for welcoming back just over a quarter of the college 's 2,500 students .
The Year 10 and 12 pupils who will be doing their GCSEs and A-levels next year will return to a very different school from the one they last saw in March .

But she 's also determined to give them an `` effective education '' .
Pupils arrive by school bus , public bus and train , some are dropped off , while others walk or cycle .
New mask-wearing and social distancing rules on public transport , plus a ban on sixth-formers car sharing , mean clear communication is key , she says .
Each school bus can now carry just seven students , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a quarter of the pupils is feasible , larger numbers might be impossible , she says .
How much face-to-face teaching will returning pupils get ?
At Ivybridge , even these smaller numbers of students will have to be part-time to ensure safety .
It means only about 100 will be in at any one time , with only 10 in each class .
For Year 10s , there will be one full day of teaching each week , with 90 minutes each of maths , English and science .
The other subjects @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the days pupils are at home .
`` They 'll still get their full curriculum , '' says Mrs Hutchinson .
The post-16 students will have seminar days to reduce movement around the site .
They 'll get two full days of each A-level over the five weeks before the end of term , says Mrs Hutchinson .
`` We think it 's very viable , its do-able and it 's really important for their education . ''
There are 2m distancing markers along all the corridors and a one-way system .
Staff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there are hand-sanitising stations and lots of posters and banners to remind children not to crowd each other .
`` It 's going to be that supermarket feel - when you go to a supermarket for the first time with the trolley queues , '' she says .

Years 7 , 8 and 9 will continue to be taught virtually and pupils in Years 11 and 13 , whose exams were cancelled will still get support .

'Safely and sensibly'
At Ivybridge Community College on the southern slopes of Dartmoor in Devon, principal Rachel Hutchinson has been putting the final touches to plans for welcoming back just over a quarter of the college's 2,500 students.
The Year 10 and 12 pupils who will be doing their GCSEs and A-levels next year will return to a very different school from the one they last saw in March.
"Safety measures are key," says Mrs Hutchinson.
"We're working very much with social distancing measures... looking very much at the timetable and what we can do safely and sensibly."
But she's also determined to give them an "effective education".

"We think it's very viable, its do-able and it's really important for their education."
How will social distancing work?

With reduced numbers, it's manageable, she says, but increased numbers of students would present a challenge.

How will pupils cope with being back after so long?
"I'd like to think as a college we've been really strong on our pastoral care," says Mrs Hutchinson.
Tutors have had lots of email contact with students, with fun, remote activities like cake-baking to keep pupils engaged with the school community.
However, she recognises some will have fallen behind and so there is a recovery programme to help them catch up.
She says a key aim of returning to school is to ensure pupils' wellbeing and she will keep a particular eye out for socially disadvantaged children.

What about staff?
One of the most important aspects is "getting it right for my staff", she says.
"They are absolutely working round the clock to maintain communication, the pastoral welfare and wellbeing of the children, as well as checking in on the learning."
Some have their own health issues, many will be running busy households without childcare and may feel anxious about returning to face-to-face teaching.
"It's managing staff welfare and making sure that staff feel safe and are ready to come back to work," she says.
And all other pupils at the school?
Years 7, 8 and 9 will continue to be taught virtually and pupils in Years 11 and 13, whose exams were cancelled will still get support.
"It's keeping an eye on a number of schools really; our virtual school as well as the new school that's going to be returning.
"The exciting thing is, for the first time ever, children are saying they miss school," says Mrs Hutchinson.
What about September and summer schools?
Getting the college back to a "new normal for September," is another challenge.
It will be welcoming the new Year 7s, plus a huge group who have not been in school since March.
Mrs Hutchinson says that unless the distancing measures are amended, schools will have to run a blend of classroom lessons and virtual learning in September.
She believes the idea of schools opening over the summer, when staff have already been flat out since March is "quite controversial".
"The summer six weeks are going to be key for us to get ready for September," she argues - and many staff will have to work through to prepare.
"So to open for children in as well will be incredibly challenging," she says.
She hopes both children and teachers can take their normal summer holidays, ready for a new start, whatever form it will take.
Wales will begin opening schools on 29 June, with Scotland and Northern Ireland waiting until August.


bbcuk--2020-06-14--How coronavirus will change the way we all shop

After three months of hibernation , non-essential shops in England will finally be able to re-open on Monday .
But it is clear Covid-19 will have a lasting impact on retail well beyond the end of lockdown .
There 's socially distanced shopping , for starters .
The new retail rules during this pandemic may take a bit of getting used to .
It 's one thing queueing for groceries , but we 're going to have to be prepared to queue to get into all the other shops , too .
We 're being encouraged to shop alone and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You may have to forget trying clothes on as the guidance says fitting rooms should be closed wherever possible .
Coronavirus is going to suck some of the fun out of one of our most popular social activities and not all of us will fancy waiting in line when we can buy what we want online .
Duncan Brewer , head of the UK retail and consumer team at consultants Oliver Wyman , says people may also be more careful with their money .
`` Consumers have changed their spending habits , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without much of their discretionary shopping .
`` With the inevitable recession coming , it 's likely that many will continue to be careful with spending , even if they are comfortable shopping in the first place . ''
There 's clearly a bit of pent-up demand , given the spectacular queues outside Ikea stores when they recently re-opened .
But even if queueing becomes part of everyday life for now , it does n't mean bumper profits for retailers .
Social distancing makes it hard for many firms to trade profitably .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not cover all the costs of running stores , especially when government support measures start to ebb away .
`` When we do start opening up , it certainly wo n't be profitable , but we 've got to start somewhere , '' the retail entrepreneur and businessmen Theo Paphitis told me recently as he prepared to reopen his Robert Dyas , Boux Lingerie and Ryman stores .
He believes coronavirus has speeded up our changing shopping habits .
Online sales have been rising steadily over the last decade but they 've rocketed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survey by Visa , a third of Britons bought items online for the first time during lockdown .
And that is likely to be a permanent shift - just look at food shopping .
According to the most recent monthly figures from Kantar , nearly one in five households ordered groceries online - 1.6 million more than this time last year .
Non-food retailers have also seen a huge spike in online sales .
KPMG estimates online retailing could reach 50 % of the total goods we buy by 2025 , five years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ necessity for many retailers to change business models , review their cost base including the amount of physical space they require , has been turbo-charged , '' says Paul Martin , head of retail at KPMG .
With more done online , retailers need fewer shops .
This was so long before coronavirus came along , yet the economics of store-based retailing look even more tricky now .
Not all shops will open immediately .
It will be a gradual re-opening for some big chains .
And some shops will never re-open , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say how many .
Debenhams - in administration for the second time - has already said 17 of its stores will remain permanently closed .
Others have already failed to make it through lockdown - Cath Kidston , Oasis and Warehouse - and there will be more to come .
`` There will continue to be business failures - but there is also opportunity for the better capitalised and more agile retailers , '' says Lisa Hooker , PWC 's head of retail and consumer markets .
Retailers have been able to furlough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ year-long business rates holiday , but many costs have continued leaving them with an almighty cash squeeze .
Some wo n't be able to pay their rent for months to come .
Also , given the problems and debt burdens that many big businesses have , access to the government 's bailout loan schemes is proving challenging given the strict credit worthiness tests from lenders .
More debt is the last thing some retailers need as any loans will later have to be paid off alongside deferred costs such as VAT .
For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their problems to a head .
Watch out for Darwinism in retail over the next 18 months , says Paul Martin .
`` Those with an appealing customer proposition and valid business models , that are really fit for purpose with strong balance sheets will survive .
Those that have neither will fall by the wayside '' If more shops shut , who and what will fill the gaps ?
`` There are so many implications for town centres , '' says Ojay McDonald , CEO of the Association of Town and Centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ city locations may be unviable as organisations who use large office spaces may be more supportive of home working , which will mean a big decrease in footfall and spend in these areas . ''
But equally , there could be a boost to towns and villages , if more people are working from home .
`` Covid-19 has shone a light on the need for many big chains to accelerate store closures but the lockdown has also led us to want to shop locally - so some High Streets will flourish , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also thinks there will be opportunities for new businesses : `` Up to 25 % of retail sites could be vacant .
This large amount of retail space available will allow new entrants to launch new businesses without all the historic barriers to entry , '' Coronavirus could help reinvent our High Streets and town centres .
But over the next 12-18 months there will plenty of turmoil , too .

According to a survey by Visa, a third of Britons bought items online for the first time during lockdown. And that is likely to be a permanent shift - just look at food shopping. According to the most recent monthly figures from Kantar, nearly one in five households ordered groceries online - 1.6 million more than this time last year.


bbcuk--2020-06-14--Coronavirus: Living with eating disorders in lockdown

The coronavirus lockdown has been hard for many of us .
But for people with eating disorders , the increased time spent with family , lack of gym facilities and an upset to routine can intensify issues .
Beat , a charity for people with eating disorders in the UK , has seen a 73 % surge in people accessing its services .
Izzy - not her real name - has relapsed during lockdown and is currently an inpatient in a psychiatric ward .
`` Everything I relied on as a tool for surviving day-to-day was taken away overnight and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left was anorexia , '' she said .
`` Eating disorders thrive in secrecy so when you 're left alone with your own thoughts and no other distractions , they can take over , which is what I feel happened to me , '' said the 24-year-old from Belfast .
Due to stockpiling and disrupted supply chains in supermarkets , Izzy was unable to access certain foods and negative news added to the deterioration of her mental health .
`` Everything with coronavirus seems dirty , maybe even food too , so that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' she told BBC News NI .
Reduced outdoor exercise during lockdown riddled Izzy with guilt and her face-to-face treatment sessions were cancelled .
She `` began to deteriorate quite rapidly '' , struggling to cope with the lack of routine .
In hospital , Izzy says daily life is `` a constant battle as you 're constantly fighting the monster inside your brain who grinds you down as the day goes on '' .
`` If I were to describe anorexia , I 'd say it 's like having a voice inside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your own but it 's also not , '' she said .
`` It 's like another entity which pollutes your rational thoughts until when you 're in the depths of it , it can be hard to distinguish between you and 'it ' . ''
Ciana O'Muireadhaigh , 21 , from Belfast , says that in the past year she has `` never felt more liberated and free from my eating disorder '' , after an eight-year battle .
The Leeds College of Music student is living alone at her university flat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown she `` definitely took advantage of the fact that I was eating alone '' .
`` I could convince myself , 'Oh I do n't need this today , and no-one can stop me ' , which probably contributed to me slipping a bit , '' she said .
`` Honestly these thoughts are in my head every day , but whenever I realise that thought has popped into my head I always remind myself of the dangerous cycle that can start from just one disordered thought and I do n't want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' 'You deserve so much better' For the last two months , Ciana has been keeping well , mentally and physically , and she has a message for anyone currently struggling .
`` I understand the anxiety of feeling out of control , it 's a feeling I wish on no-one , but you need to know that this feeling is manifested by something that is n't you and I can tell you right now that you deserve so much better than it .
`` Please be kind to yourself through all this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be free from this . ''
Primary teaching student Naomi Lloyd , from Lisburn , County Antrim , says she is `` thankful to be at a stage of being in control '' now .
In her teens , the 22-year-old had to take time out from her studies because of her anorexia and she was admitted to hospital for treatment .
Now recovered , Naomi uses her blog to raise awareness of eating disorders .
`` Social media [ during lockdown ] can make you feel like you 've got all this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not to be a healthier and better version of you , making healthy meals and exercising all the time , which can be dangerous , '' she said .
`` There are people who maybe could do with having a healthier lifestyle but it 's the perception that putting on weight is bad and losing weight is good that is n't healthy , and the constant comparisons to other people . ''
The three women are all involved with FightED which provides support and advice for people dealing with eating disorders .
Chairperson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just 12 when she developed an eating disorder .
Now 37 and a trained psychotherapist , Debbie uses her experiences to help others .
`` At their core , eating disorders are an emotional disorder , and provide the person with a way of coping and managing difficult feelings or emotions , '' she said .
Debbie says many families may not have known the extent of their loved ones ' condition until the lockdown , which may cause tension .
She says it is important to try to avoid conflict .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and try to encourage the person to speak to their GP .
