bbcuk--2020-06-26--Coronavirus: PM warns over virus rules after beach crowds

Spikes in coronavirus cases abroad should act as a warning to Britons who flout social distancing rules , Boris Johnson has said .
The PM said crowds on Bournemouth beach on Thursday suggested people needed to understand that `` mingling too much '' could set the UK back .
He said people in other countries had been `` taking too many liberties with the guidance '' as lockdown rules eased .
Ministers have warned UK beaches could be closed if infections rise .
A further 186 deaths of people who had tested positive for coronavirus in the UK were announced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have died now standing at 43,414 .
The latest figures , released by the Department for Health and Social Care , showed a further 1,006 people had tested positive for the virus .
Mr Johnson said people in some countries were `` not observing social distancing '' .
`` Some parts of the world - I wo n't name them - but have you have got spikes , really serious spikes in instances of the disease , so it 's crucial that people understand that on 4 July we get this right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ balanced way , and we recognise the risks , '' he said .
`` You may think you are not going to get it , that you 're immortal and invincible and so on - and very likely that 's true if you are young person .
But the bug you carry can kill elderly people particularly .
It is still dangerous ; the virus is still out there . ''
The prime minister was speaking after the World Health Organization said Europe had seen an increase in weekly cases of Covid-19 for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were eased .
Concern has been expressed about people gathering around the UK during this week 's heatwave , including street parties in London and Manchester , crowded beaches and celebrating Liverpool fans .
A Dorset MP estimated 500,000 people visited the county during Thursday alone , with reports of gridlocked roads , fights and overnight camping .
A `` major incident '' was declared on the beach as a `` standby measure '' - which Dorset Council later said was because of an increase in people visiting hospital A & E departments @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And Sam Crowe , the council 's director of public health , said he was concerned about the risk of coronavirus being transmitted in enclosed environments , such as trains , as visitors travelled to the county .
Dorset Chamber of Commerce chief executive Ian Girling partly blamed the scenes on `` a worrying lack clarity from the government '' and called for `` stronger messaging '' ahead of 4 July , when pubs and restaurants are allowed to reopen .
He said : `` It would have been common sense to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ counties while we recover from the crisis and to give places like Dorset time to prepare to welcome visitors back . ''
• This is what local lockdowns could look like • When can I go on holiday in the UK ?
• 'The sheer amount of beach rubbish is colossal' Environment Secretary George Eustice told BBC Breakfast people had `` generally '' observed current social distancing rules - keeping 2m apart from other households - and forcing beaches to close would not be the first course of action .
But he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yesterday was the hottest day of the year , incredibly hot , a lot of people had the same idea , they all went to the beach , and yes of course those scenes at Bournemouth are a matter for concern . ''
Now it 's up to the public The concern about people flocking to beaches comes at an important point in our fight against the virus .
The UK has been seeing infections fall despite the easing of restrictions .
Six weeks ago when the prime minister announced the first steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagnosed infections was around 4,000 a day .
Those numbers have fallen by three-quarters since - with 1,073 a day being recorded , on average , over the past week .
But a combination of warm weather and the further easing of restrictions on 4 July means we are at a crucial juncture .
Much is being left to the good judgement , common sense and personal responsibility of people .
Government experts believe with the testing and tracing system in place the virus can continue be suppressed - but only if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at Bournemouth beach on Thursday told the BBC : `` Social distancing has gone out the window and obviously I think we are part of that because we are here from Hertfordshire today . ''
Jane Martin , a palliative care nurse from Wimbourne , Dorset , said heavy traffic had made it difficult for her to visit patients .
`` It took me six-and-a-half hours to only get to three clients who are vulnerable . ''
Council leader Vikki Slade said there had been problems in Bournemouth since lockdown first eased in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and pier .
because pubs , bars and restaurants were still closed .
Tobias Ellwood , MP for Bournemouth East , added his voice to those saying the beach should have been shut .
`` If we 're going to be serious about tackling this pandemic then we need to be swifter in being able to provide support to local authorities that are unable to cope , '' he said .

Thursday was the UK 's hottest day of the year so far , with highs of 33.3C ( 92F ) at Heathrow Airport .
Bournemouth reached 30C ( 86F ) and Brighton , which also saw busy scenes , hit 29C ( 84.2F ) .
Police reported several incidents after crowds gathered at beaches - with three men from London stabbed in Bournemouth ; two men stabbed after a gathering on Leysdown beach in Kent , and violent clashes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In Wales , First Minister Mark Drakeford warned lockdown restrictions would not be eased if parties and fights at beaches continued .
Meanwhile , after crowds flocked to Liverpool 's Anfield stadium when they became Premier League champions , Mayor Joe Anderson said the city would have to wait and see whether the gathering would cause a spike in coronavirus cases .
And the Met Police warned it would be placing a `` particular focus on spontaneous unlawful music events that often attract large crowds '' and were `` flouting the health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after police were attacked while attempting to disperse crowds at an illegal party for a second night .
Temperatures around the UK remained above 25C in south-east England on Friday , but were considerably lower in other areas , with thunderstorms forecast for many parts .
Who has the power to close beaches ?
Health Secretary Matt Hancock is probably right to say that the government has the power to close beaches to prevent infection .
He might try to use schedule 22 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 , which gives him the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in England and Wales .
The definition of a premises is very broad , so it could probably include beaches .
Alternatively , section 45C of the Public Health ( Control of Disease ) Act 1984 gives ministers broad powers to do what the government considers to be necessary in response to a threat to public health , including stopping people gathering .
The challenge for closing beaches is probably more of a practical one .
The leaders of Bournemouth and Sefton councils told BBC Breakfast that they do not have the powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would struggle to do so , having 15 and 22 miles of coastline respectively .
`` It 's not like a private beach at the end of a road that you could shut the road off , '' Vikki Slade from Bournemouth Council said .

bbcuk--2020-06-26--Northern Ireland to launch separate contact-tracing app

Northern Ireland is planning to release its own coronavirus contact-tracing app within weeks , the BBC has learned .
It follows the failure of the NHS app in England , which was trialled on the Isle of Wight .
The NI app will be based on the Google/Apple model .
It is designed to be compatible with an app due to be released soon in the Republic of Ireland .
That app is also based on the toolkit provided by Apple and Google .
The Apple and Google model is more privacy-focused , but provides less data to epidemiologists than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` The Health Minister has commissioned work to develop a proximity app , based on the de-centralised Google/ Apple model , for use in Northern Ireland , '' said the Northern Ireland Department of Health in a statement .
`` This work includes examining the interoperability of apps and the sharing of information across the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic , '' it said .
It added that the Information Commissioner , Equality Commission and NI Human Rights Commission were all involved in exploring `` statutory information governance , equality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that their assessments would be published .
If Northern Ireland does manage to release a functioning contact tracing app within weeks that will be a major embarrassment to the UK government .
After all , in England an NHS team managed to spend four months and nearly £12m ( $ 15m ) developing a centralised app that did not work .
The Health Secretary Matt Hancock then announced that the new focus would be on a decentralised app using the Google Apple toolkit - but that was unlikely to be ready for months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assured the House of Commons that no country in the world had a working contact tracing app .
Yet Northern Ireland 's health minister seems confident that a few weeks work , perhaps building on the experience of Germany and other countries which have released decentralised apps , can deliver something that will do the job and even be compatible with the Irish Republic 's project .

Scotland is `` not far away '' from eliminating coronavirus , the country 's first minister has predicted .
Nicola Sturgeon was speaking as she announced there have been no deaths from confirmed cases of the virus in the past 24 hours .
This was the first time the figure had been zero on a weekday since 20 March .
Ms Sturgeon said the statistic was `` really significant '' and a further sign of the progress that has been made .
But she again warned against complacency because the virus `` has not yet gone away '' and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some other countries .
• Which lockdown rules will change next - and when ?
Ms Sturgeon said : `` Suppressing the virus , driving it as far as we can towards total elimination , has to be our overriding priority .
`` We have made exceptional progress over the past three months , and the figures today highlight that .
`` But it has only been possible because the vast majority of us have stuck to the rules . ''
The first minister stressed that elimination was different from eradication , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lowest possible levels we can in a country '' .
She added : `` It does n't mean it has gone away , it does n't mean it wo n't rise again if we stop doing the things we need to do , but it gives us more confidence that we can keep it under control .
`` I think we are not that far away from that .
The challenge is keeping it there . ''
The number of cases of coronavirus in Scotland has fallen dramatically in recent weeks , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ single figures on some days .
There are currently only 17 coronavirus patients in the country 's intensive care units .
And Ms Sturgeon said the percentage of people who tested positive for the virus was now well below 1 % - and was just 0.3 % on Thursday .

She added : `` The virus has not gone away , and it will not go away of its own accord .
`` A big concern for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more restrictions , people drop their guard - it is perhaps human nature .

bbcuk--2020-06-26--Coronavirus: Zoom calls reunite prisoners with families

New video calls at Maghaberry Prison are allowing inmates to connect with a wider circle of friends and family outside than ever before .
Face-to-face visits at UK prisons have been suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic .
But Northern Ireland 's maximum security jail has become one of the first in the UK to allow inmates to make Zoom calls to people all over the world .
For some prisoners , it has meant seeing family for the first time in years .
`` We have quite a number of foreign national prisoners who 've been here for a lengthy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seen their loved ones , '' said prison governor David Kennedy .
`` Other prisoners have n't seen their homes , their pets or elderly relatives for a long time , it 's been really beneficial to them . ''
Before the pandemic only face-to-face visits were permitted .
`` In 32 years , I do n't remember visits ever being suspended for anything more than a day or two , due to weather , '' Mr Kennedy said .
`` So we knew that stepping away from family contact could have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care .
`` It took us three weeks to get the virtual visits up to speed , but they have now been successful beyond our expectations . ''
BBC News was given special access at HMP Maghaberry to sit-in on a virtual visit with a prisoner - we 've changed his name to Darren .
As we approach the computer terminal , Darren 's family appear on screen and there is immediate laughter .
He has shaved his head since their last call and they are seeing the new look for the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from their living room , a young child giggled and said : `` He changed his hair ! ''
`` It 's good to get to see your home surroundings , '' said Darren .
`` I 've had Zoom calls with various groups of friends , my partner and my grandparents too .
It 's a lift . ''
• Prisoners to be temporarily freed due to Covid-19 '' We missed the weekly visits when they stopped , '' his partner said over the video call .
`` But this has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to see him and it 's not for the same length of time , but 20 minutes is better than nothing . ''
Contact with family is considered important for the mental wellbeing of prisoners and as an aid to reducing offending .
HMP Maghaberry has made major changes to its regime to reduce the risk of infection during the coronavirus pandemic .
Prisoners are still able to leave their cells for between six and ten hours a day , but many educational classes have stopped and inmates are now only able to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
One prison officer told us he believes that restricting prisoners to their own landings has in fact strengthened some relationships between inmates and staff .
`` In the past a lot of our staff would just unlock in the morning , get the guys to their breakfast and then prisoners would head off to workshops .
`` Now they 're on the landing all the time and the guys are interacting more .
`` It 's a prison , there 's always going to be tensions - sometimes new people coming in… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fears . ''
Staff have run some alternative fitness activities on landings , to try to keep prisoners occupied while gym and activity spaces are now out of bounds .
HMP Maghaberry has also accelerated the opening of a new building during the pandemic to reduce the number of prisoners sharing cells .
Only 46 prisoners are now doubled up in cells , compared to more than 400 at the start of the lockdown .
More than 600 prisoners have entered HMP Maghaberry during the pandemic and new inmates must now spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new regime by the prison staff has resulted in no prisoners testing positive for coronavirus .
There is no date set yet for face-to-face visits to resume , but the prison intends to keep the video calls a permanent option for prisoners in future .
However will allowing prisoners the opportunity to stay in contact with a much wider circle of family and friends during their sentences be seen as an unnecessary luxury ?
`` Prison 's not about punishment , it 's about preparing people for release back into the community , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think it 's just really positive . ''

Prisoners are still able to leave their cells for between six and ten hours a day, but many educational classes have stopped and inmates are now only able to mix with others on the same landing.


bbcuk--2020-06-26--Coronavirus: What could local lockdowns look like in England?

The government says that local lockdowns could be be used to deal with further outbreaks of Covid-19 in England .
However , there is still uncertainty over the details of what they would involve .
On 27 May , Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced that local restrictions , or lockdowns , could be used in specific areas in England if there were localised `` flare-ups '' .
He said the Joint Biosecurity Centre ( which advises the government on the Covid alert level ) would work with local health teams `` to address local spikes in infections '' .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would focus only on the exact location where the outbreak takes place - a school , a care home or a workplace , for example - or would it cover a whole area , such as a postcode , a town , or even a city .
The power to lock down a premises if it presents a health hazard , is something which local councils already have .
But the idea of locking down a whole city has also been hinted at by the government .
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab told the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will target specific settings or particular regions or geographic areas . ''
However , local politicians say they do not have the powers to enforce such measures , and have called on the government to give more clarity on how they expect them to work .

If enough cases were detected , a school could be closed and all staff and pupils could self-isolate for 14 days .

• Is a second wave of coronavirus on the way ?
Risk assessments could be carried out afterwards to decide when a premises might be reopened .
Public health officials have also suggested people in areas with an outbreak might be contacted by councils via leaflets or even visited by local health workers or politicians to spread awareness of the virus .
Local lockdowns could also mean more widespread testing , according to Krishna Ramkhelawon , director of public health for Southend-on-Sea Council : `` The most important thing would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and possibly test everyone in an area . ''
Could a whole area be locked down ?
Local councils say they do not currently have the power to lock down whole areas , such as a town or city .
What 's more , many of them doubt such a plan could be put into practice .
The mayor of Greater Manchester , Andy Burnham , has said he `` struggles to see how it can be effectively enforced '' .

What Covid tests do I still need to travel abroad? Published 11 February 2022
Image source, Getty Images
Fully vaccinated people travelling to the UK no longer have to take any Covid tests - either before departure or on arrival.
The prime minister has announced that he intends to remove England's remaining Covid restrictions at the end of the month.
What changes have come into force for vaccinated travellers?
Fully vaccinated travellers (two doses) and under-18s no longer need to take a test either before or after they arrive in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
To qualify as vaccinated, non-UK travellers must have received their jabs in a country or territory with "approved proof of vaccination". This now covers most countries in the world, with more - including China - due to join on 11 February.
What if I'm unvaccinated?
Unvaccinated travellers still have to show proof of a negative Covid test taken two days before departure.
They must also take a post-arrival PCR test two days after arrival. This must be booked before travelling to the UK and bought privately from a government-approved list of providers.
If this is positive, they need to self-isolate.
However, unvaccinated travellers no longer have to self-isolate on arrival, or take a test on day eight.
What other rules are still in force?
All unvaccinated travellers to the UK must complete a passenger locator form before departure.
How do I prove vaccinations and test results at the UK border?
Digital Covid passes showing your vaccination status can be downloaded to your phone, whether you're in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
Test results can be in the form of a printed document, or an email or text on your phone. They must be in English, French or Spanish.
European Union residents can use the EU Digital Covid Certificate to show their vaccination status or test results.
Since 3 February, 12 to 15-year-olds in England have also been able to prove their vaccination status via the digital NHS pass.
What about other countries' rules?
You are responsible for checking the entry requirements for any other countries you wish to visit, as well as the local Covid restrictions which are in force. These can change quickly.
Many UK families have cancelled half-term trips to mainland Spain and the Canary Islands because children over 12 must be double vaccinated to enter.
Very few countries allow unrestricted access to those who have not been vaccinated.
It is thought more than 80 holiday destinations around the world still require all UK travellers to take a pre-departure PCR test before arrival.
UK-issued Covid passes can be used throughout the EU to show proof of vaccination - either digitally, or as a printed download (as long as it is dated after than 1 November 2021).


bbcuk--2020-06-26--Intu collapse: What went wrong for the retail giant?

Shopping centre giant Intu has entered administration , placing thousands of jobs in doubt .
But there have long been problems at the firm , which sought help with its debt in January .
What went wrong at Intu , which was one of the UK 's biggest shopping centre group ?
Intu had been struggling even before the coronavirus outbreak .
One area of concern for potential investors is Intu 's £4.5bn debt , given the declining value of its shopping centres , which will stay open under administrators KPMG .
They `` just are n't worth the value @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kate Hardcastle told BBC News .
The value of its the centres it owns fell by 22 % in 2019 to £6.6bn .
The company also posted a £2bn loss for that year .
The firm , which owns the Trafford Centre , the Lakeside complex and Braehead , also has a `` very complex infrastructure '' at its heart , Ms Hardcastle said .
Another shopping centre owner might use a separate services company to run operations , such as cleaning , security or its car parks .
But `` at Intu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved in the organisation '' , she said .
Shopping centre landlords such as Intu rely on big retailers for their revenues .
But in recent years , stores have been asking landlords for rent reductions due to the pressures they are under , Ms Hardcastle said .
The coronavirus lockdown imposed by the government on 23 March has meant that rent collection fell even further for retail landlords .
Shop landlords typically collect rent on a quarterly basis .
But when UK retailers had to pay rent for the three months to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % of the £2.5bn due was paid , according to property data company Re-Leased .
`` The old relationship was quite adversarial between landlords and tenants , '' says retail analyst Richard Hyman .
`` That 's not going to work anymore .
Everyone is going to have to take the pain , and it 's always best to share it . ''
`` In many ways , the pandemic is an accelerator , and will really have forced change that would have taken five years or more to happen now , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the proportion of spending online had been increasing steadily , it reached new highs during lockdown .
Online sales rose to their highest proportion on record in May while consumers stayed at home .
They accounted for 33.4 % of total spending , compared with 30.8 % in April , according to the Office for National Statistics .
With the `` turbo-charge of online '' , shopping centre owners such as Intu need `` to understand that they no longer have the monopoly on bringing the customers and the retailers together '' , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people in Britain have been shopping happily in lockdown who 've never done it before , and a lot of people will change their behaviour as a result . ''
The collapse and contraction of large retailers in the face of rising costs and the ever-increasing online shopping trend had already seen retailers closing outlets .
That left a number of landlords , such as Intu , struggling to fill empty space as conditions get tougher .
Kate Hardcastle points out : `` We 've seen in other shopping centres replacing those big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Intu do n't have those relationships - it is pretty dependent on retail . ''
She argues that it could be time for its `` glossy infrastructure '' and large units to be repurposed .
`` Intu have come in and created something quite sterile , without a celebration of its placing ... Now they 're relying on those communities to keep them going . ''
But she added that the outlook could be gloomy for the shopping centre giant as it appoints administrators .
`` This is n't a typical trading market @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is n't enticing , consumer confidence is low and we are facing one of the greatest economic challenges of our time ahead . ''

"That's not going to work anymore. Everyone is going to have to take the pain, and it's always best to share it."


bbcuk--2020-06-26--Why did raves become illegal?

Why did raves become illegal?

Strobe lights , thumping bass , a warehouse or field and hundreds , possibly thousands of sweat-drenched people dancing through the night .
Raves immediately conjure up those images but they 're not ideal at a time of a global pandemic .
However , lockdown has n't stopped some illegal raves from taking place around the UK , despite police warnings .
In UK law , an illegal rave is when 20 or more people are `` gathering on land in the open air '' with music `` that includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a level where it is loud enough to cause `` serious distress to the inhabitants of the locality '' .
But why did they become illegal in the first place ?
Let 's go back to the 1980s - when acid house arrived from America .
A new cultural movement spread across the country .
By the early 90s , raves were huge events with thousands of people .
As they got more popular , concerns about anti-social behaviour and drug use followed , leading to heavy policing and new laws .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased Penalties ) Act , allowing fines of up to £20,000 for hosting illegal raves or parties .
Organisers got around the laws by broadcasting the details of events last-minute or on pirate radio stations .
Ravers could also call a telephone number where the voicemail had info about the event .
But the party that changed everything took place on Castlemorton Common in Worcestershire in 1992 .
The word was spread by an answering machine message : `` Right , listen up revellers .
It 's happening now and for the rest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the house and on to Castlemorton Common ... Be there , all weekend , hardcore . ''
What was supposed to be a small free festival for travellers not only went down in history as the biggest illegal rave ever held in the UK , but resulted in a trial costing £4m and the passing of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act .
That gave police the powers to stop vehicles anywhere within five miles ( 8km ) of a rave and turn them away .
It also included rules @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listening to music at night .
After the laws changed illegal raves did n't really go anywhere .
Carl Loben , Editor of DJ Mag says that raves or `` free parties '' have continued across the country for the past 25 years .
`` I lived in Hackney [ in London ] during the 90s and there was always a squat party - as they were called — going on every weekend , '' he tells Newsbeat .
But most modern raves are as underground and as private as possible , unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` New blood often comes through to work alongside seasoned organisers , '' says Carl .
`` The organisers used to pride themselves on this fact - there was always something happening , despite the legislation . ''
There have been reports of illegal raves in Telford , Leeds and Merseyside during lockdown .
A BBC investigation also found three illegal raves in London at the beginning of June .
`` It 's opportunistic newcomers looking to cash-in on young people wanting to party during lockdown , '' Carl says .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ host events have stopped during lockdown `` out of respect '' .
`` Many DJs and others in the dance scene have been very against these . ''
On May 30 , the UK 's first social distanced legal rave took place in Nottingham , Ravers were given face masks and hand sanitisers to keep safe and were told to stay two metres apart .
Carl thinks these legal , socially distanced raves are the way forward as we come out of lockdown .
`` Otherwise there is going to be a plethora @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by people with little or no experience , while there 's a whole raft of experienced promoters sitting around at home with nothing to do .
`` The lockdown and continuing lack of opportunities to dance to loud music together safely could lead to a summer a bit similar to one of the Summers Of Love in the late '80s .
But there 's the danger that some of these events will produce more of a Summer Of Chaos , unless the issue is addressed . ''
Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here .

In UK law, an illegal rave is when 20 or more people are "gathering on land in the open air" with music "that includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats" - at a level where it is loud enough to cause "serious distress to the inhabitants of the locality".


bbcuk--2020-06-26--Coronavirus: 'The sheer amount of beach rubbish is colossal'

After the hottest day of the year saw thousands of people descend on beaches around the UK , the BBC went to Great Yarmouth to see the scale of the mess left behind .
The refuse collector 's cart is overflowing .
There 's the usual drinks cans and plastic bottles , but also a crumpled hat , a paperback book and , balanced on top , a wind break .
`` It 's as if people have gone slightly mad with lockdown easing , '' says Penny Carpenter , as she helps pick up rubbish along Great Yarmouth beach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , what 's that all about ?
It 's beyond my comprehension , why people do it .
`` The word 'unprecedented ' is used a lot at the moment , but it is an unprecedented amount of rubbish our teams are picking up . ''
With cafes and restaurants only open for takeaways , much of the litter is polystyrene cups and burger cartons , plastic bottles and cans .
Rubbish bins have been filling up quicker than they can be emptied .
• Live updates : Lockdown and other stories from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said in the 16 years she has lived in the coastal town , she has never seen anything like the amount of litter left in recent days - not even in the summer holidays or after major events .
`` It 's a significant increase - we usually fill four or five bags - a massive amount - but yesterday it was 15 .
It 's mind-blowing .
`` We want people to come to Great Yarmouth but , please , think about what you are doing , you are polluting the environment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where Ms Carpenter is a Conservative councillor and chairman of the environment committee , has had to pull staff from other services to help with the clean-up since lockdown has eased .
It takes 15 litter-pickers three hours to scour the seafront , with the Golden Mile between the two piers worst-hit .
They find broken glass , a bed sheet , face masks , disposable gloves , a table tennis bat , the string and handle from a kite , a broken camping chair and candles from a birthday cake .
Resident @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mornings , early enough to see the ugly fall-out from the day - or night - before .
`` Yesterday was particularly bad , there were eight beach towels floating around , plastic bottles every where and three five-gallon plastic beer buckets - I think there had been some kind of party .
`` The beach was absolutely covered , with beer bottles , plastic rubbish everywhere .
I do n't think I 've ever seen so much . ''
The 61-year-old said he had seen a `` dramatic increase '' since the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like Ms Carpenter , believes the amount of litter goes beyond the levels usually seen during the height of the season .
• How are coastal towns faring in lockdown ?
• What will a re-opened pub be like ?
• UK 's first service station 'never been so quiet' '' It 's definitely worse than when Yarmouth is packed .
There 's less people , but those that are here are leaving everything behind , '' said Mr Carr .
`` It 's annoying - [ you would ] think would respect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they 're abusing it . ''
The area normally attracts a lot of wildlife ; a colony of little terns flies thousands of miles to nest at North Denes each June and there is a large seal population .
Volunteers have seen a record year for injuries to the marine mammals because of litter .
`` We see seals most mornings but we have n't for a while and I wonder if they 're keeping away , and there are rare birds in the dunes and that 's full of rubbish as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's going to affect them all .
It 's very sad . ''
Mark Wyton is well-acquainted with litter in his role as refuse and cleaning supervisor for the council 's contractor GYB Services , but the tidal wave of debris produced by a day at the beach has given him pause .
`` The sheer amount of rubbish we 're getting is colossal , '' he said .
`` We 've never picked up as much rubbish as we did on Thursday .
`` A year ago , people were much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ocean , it seems like we 've come out of the pandemic and people have forgotten about it . ''
This is not just a Great Yarmouth problem .
On Thursday , Bournemouth , Christchurch and Poole Council ( BCP ) declared a major incident in which crews were abused for attempting to empty overflowing bins on the seafront .
The council said 33 tonnes of waste was cleaned up along the Dorset coastline on Thursday morning , in addition to eight tonnes collected between the piers on Wednesday during a second collection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Environment Quality survey , the amount of litter UK-wide has remained consistent .
Last year , littering of food and soft drinks went up , while dog fouling and plastic bags declined - the latter after the 5p charge was introduced in England .
Australia and the Netherlands include education and engagement with young people as part of a strategic approach to tackling litter .
In Japan , littering is called `` illegal dumping '' and carries a penalty of up to five years in prison or a fine of up to 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Littering is symptomatic of a decline in respect for the environment and for other people , '' said John Read , founder of Clean Up Britain , which is auditing England 's 330 councils to establish whether they undertake litter enforcement and , if so , exactly how many fines they issue .
`` Too many people are disrespectful because councils are weak - and they get away with it .
We have the filthiest country - but it 's part of British culture , this sense of entitlement .
`` There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with anti-social behaviour and littering , where there are no penalties . ''
Back in Great Yarmouth , there are more than 30 bins beside the beach , including three news bins in the largest 1,100-litre size , but these are still not enough .
A bin next to the pristine bowling green , just a few steps from the prom , is surrounded by a mass of half-eaten food , fish and chip boxes , disposable cutlery and bottles .
Every plastic fork , every chewed slice of watermelon , every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the next surge of visitors .
The wide expanse of sand is once again restored to its natural beauty - for now .
`` It 's heartbreaking , '' said Ms Carpenter .
`` We are proud of where we live , we are proud of our town .

Glasgow stabbings: What we know Published 28 June 2020

Six men, including a police officer, are in hospital after a multiple stabbing in the centre of Glasgow. A suspect was shot dead at the scene.
Police Scotland said they are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident at a hotel.
What happened?
Armed police were called to the Park Inn hotel on West George Street at 12:50 BST on Friday after reports of a stabbing incident, and arrived on the scene within two minutes.
Police Scotland says the male suspect, who has now been named as Badreddin Abdalla Adam, died after being shot by specialist officers from the force. He was 28, and from Sudan.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Johnson said the incident is not being treated as terrorism and police were continuing to investigate the circumstances.
On Saturday police issued an appeal for footage of the scene, which can be submitted through the Police Scotland portal.
The investigation has been named Operation Strathenberg.
The 91-room hotel is understood to have been housing about 100 asylum seekers during the coronavirus pandemic.
What do we know about the victims?
Police Scotland said a 42-year-old police officer, Constable David Whyte, was in a critical but stable condition in hospital.
At 12:20 on Saturday, police confirmed his condition had changed to "stable".
The Scottish Police Federation said Constable Whyte's family was being supported by the service.
Five other men were also being treated in hospital, aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53.
Three were asylum seekers staying at the hotel while the other two were hotel staff, police confirmed.
What did eye witnesses report?
Constable David Whyte, in a statement released by Police Scotland on Saturday, said the scene that confronted him and fellow officers at the hotel was "something I will never forget".
"Despite suffering serious injuries myself, I know that the swift actions of colleagues saved lives and prevented a far more serious incident," he said.
Craig Milroy was working nearby and saw a badly injured man lying on the steps outside the hotel.
"I saw a man with no T-shirt, no shoes lying on the ground with what looked like a stab wound with someone compressing the wound," he told the BBC News Channel.
Matthew Nesbitt, who was working near the scene of the stabbings, said police were there "within two or three minutes of everything kicking off".
Chris Falchi-Stead was hosting a meeting at the Big Issue office close to the hotel where the stabbings took place.
"When we looked out the window, we noticed there must have been 20 or 30 police cars and about 10 ambulances," he said.
Stuart Gibson, who lives on West George Street near the Park Inn Hotel where the incident happened, told the BBC: "Armed police rushed into the hotel, it made it look as if they were looking for something.
"There was certainly one person who was carried out by police."
What has the reaction been?
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said her thoughts were with everyone "caught up in this terrible incident".
"I also want to thank all of those police officers whose quick and decisive actions contained the incident - one of whom was among those taken to hospital - as well as the work of the other emergency services," she said.
Ms Sturgeon said she has had a brief conversation with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who expressed his concern and sympathies.
Writing on Twitter, Mr Johnson said he was "deeply saddened by the terrible incident".
David Hamilton, Scottish Police Federation chairman, said the incident was "what you dread as a police officer going into a scene like this.
"It's pretty clear that the circumstances they have been met with were really pretty horrific and what they would have had to deal with has been exceptionally brave in terms of their actions thereafter."
Home Secretary Priti Patel, in response to concerns raised by charities and MPs over the placing of asylum seekers into hotels, says accommodation "has been allocated in this particular way because of the Covid-19 crisis".
"Of course we constantly review the method around asylum, the accommodation, the provision and support, all of which is in line with law," she added.

He added police had a `` number of hypotheses '' as to what may have happened .
`` The one we are majoring on is that he has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' which led to him being `` disorientated '' , he said .
Anyone with information on Noah 's whereabouts is asked to contact police immediately on 101 .
St Malachy 's College said the community was praying that Noah was found and returned safely to his family soon .

bbcuk--2020-06-26--Coronavirus lockdown: Warning after Ogmore-by-Sea mass brawl

Lockdown restrictions will not be eased if large parties and fights at beaches continue in Wales , the first minister has warned .
Videos on social media showed large crowds at Ogmore-by-Sea , Vale of Glamorgan , followed by violent clashes on Thursday evening .
Current travel restrictions are set to be lifted on 6 July .
But Mark Drakeford said if the behaviour continued he would `` not be able to continue easing restrictions '' .
Leader of Vale of Glamorgan council Neil Moore called the scenes `` disgraceful '' and said those causing disorder showed a `` complete @ @ @ @ @ @ @ community 's safety .
He added : `` A major clean-up operation is now under way .
The car park at Ogmore beach has been closed and will remain so until at least the beginning of next week . ''
Vicky Fry , who lives in Ogmore-by-Sea , said the police response was `` appalling '' and `` very delayed '' .
`` They should have done a little bit more for the residents and local people , '' she added .
Speaking to Gareth Lewis on BBC Radio Wales she said the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the incident , adding it was not a one-off but an `` ongoing thing '' locals had to deal with .
South Wales Police said two men in their 20s had been detained following the fight in Ogmore-by-Sea at about 20:00 BST on Thursday .
Det Ch Insp Tom Moore said the scenes at the beach were `` totally unacceptable '' and the force was working to `` identify those who were responsible '' .
`` We believe that a large number of youths have travelled to the area from various areas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ serious , violent disorder , '' he said .
Mr Drakeford said the scenes `` threaten the health of people in Wales and undermine the sacrifices the majority of people have made during this ongoing crisis '' .
But he said at a press conference that the `` ugly actions '' of a few people should not `` cast a shadow '' over the efforts made by the wider population .
South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Alun Michael described it as a `` contagion of stupidity '' and said people were `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' .
Residents also reported crowds of people partying in Barry Island , and beaches in Swansea , with one describing it as a nightly `` Spring Break '' party on beaches near their home .
Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport Lee Waters said the scenes were the actions of a `` bunch of drunked-up young people '' , but if it kept happening the Welsh Government would have to `` look again at the lockdown rules '' .
In Wales , it is illegal to gather in large groups and people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their local area because of the coronavirus pandemic .
Social distancing measures also remain in place .
• Sun-seekers urged to stay away from packed beach But on Thursday police , the council , and the RNLI had to respond after crowds gathered at Ogmore-by-Sea , as temperatures soared across Wales .
The force tweeted a plea to parents to `` check where your children are '' on Thursday evening after reports of `` large numbers of young people '' gathering on the coast .
The force said it was `` aware of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inquiries were ongoing .
'It 's been building for days' Ogmore resident Sue Francombe said the scenes at the beach on Thursday evening were `` absolute carnage '' .
She added : `` We 've been in lockdown for weeks and then I could n't believe what was happening .
`` I 've been here for 16 years and we 've never had this before .
I feel really angry and upset . ''
Gerald McCarthy , who lives above the beach , said it was `` absolutely horrendous '' , with roads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` utter chaos '' .
But he said the beach should not be closed as it was used by walkers and families in the daytime .
Another resident , who did not want to be named , said it had been `` building for a few days '' with more people heading to the beach , and by Thursday `` a few hundred were drinking '' on the seafront .
Porthcawl RNLI confirmed it had attended an incident on Thursday evening and `` assisted 45 people who were trapped at the river mouth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Welsh Ambulance Service said it had also been called .
Former Conservative leader in the Senedd , Andrew RT Davies , who is based in the Vale of Glamorgan , tweeted about `` some pretty ugly scenes '' on the beach .
Member of the Senedd Carwyn Jones , who represents the nearby Bridgend constituency , said he expected `` beach closures are now needed for a while '' following the incident .
South Wales Police said it broke up the crowds at the beach at about 20:00 , with the council forced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the police were called again to the beach at 22:50 after some of the earlier group returned .
The force said that while witnesses reported someone had been hurt , as of late Thursday evening , no victims had been identified or had come forward .
Det Ch Insp Moore said the force would be `` doing everything we can to ensure there is no repeat of this behaviour '' .
In a separate incident , Vale of Glamorgan council enforcement officers said they were faced with `` a number of hostile and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Thursday night .
The officers tweeted the `` behaviour was unacceptable '' and it would be taking further action against the youths .
Speaking on BBC Radio Wales Breakfast , Mr Michael said it was `` disappointing '' scenes of packed beaches in England were now spreading to Wales .
He said that the issue was spreading via social media and there was a lot of confused messages on platforms , but not observing social distancing was putting `` everybody at risk '' .
Responding to questions about why police did not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the fight , Mr Michael said there was a `` difficult balance '' to keep , but it was `` not something where you could enforce your way out of it '' .
`` The police will enforce if it is absolutely necessary , but that 's the last resort if people do n't use common sense , '' he said .
`` We need people to use common sense and that has been the characteristic in south Wales throughout the pandemic to date .
It seems to becoming a bit apart .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , people from two different households are able to meet outdoors , but must maintain social distancing .
As a guideline , people meeting outside should do so within five miles of their home - there is no restriction on the number of people at any one time , but getting together with members of more than one household at the same time is illegal .
On Thursday people were urged not to use public transport to get to beaches , due to the travel restrictions , and to keep trains and buses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thursday evening , images appearing to show coaches leaving Barry Island were posted on social media , and people tweeted trains were crowded with people sitting on taped-off seats .
Transport for Wales said : `` Yesterday [ Thursday ] as a result of an influx of non-essential travel to seaside locations we quickly had to arrange additional coaches , the decision to put on this additional transport was to ensure our essential travellers and key workers could still get to their destinations safely .
`` We 'd like to take this opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for essential travel and where there are no other travel alternatives . ''
The first minister said repeated scenes of people breaching rules could have an impact on the Welsh Government 's approach to easing the lockdown .
`` If we were to see some scenes like that last night , continuing to happen and if they were a more general breakdown of the efforts that we all have made in that would inevitably have an impact on our ability to go on , lifting restrictions , '' he said .
Mr Waters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frustrated '' after being compliant for a long time .
`` You see the first bit of hot sun and out come the beers and a couple of idiots ruin it for others , '' he said .
`` There are inevitably flare-ups , especially young men who have had too much to drink in hot weather behaving stupidly , but I do n't think you can then draw the conclusion that [ lockdown ] is breaking down across Wales . ''

The first minister said repeated scenes of people breaching rules could have an impact on the Welsh Government's approach to easing the lockdown."If we were to see some scenes like that last night, continuing to happen and if they were a more general breakdown of the efforts that we all have made in that would inevitably have an impact on our ability to go on, lifting restrictions," he said.


bbcuk--2020-06-27--Coronavirus: UK to open up European holidays from 6 July

Blanket restrictions on non-essential overseas travel will be relaxed in the UK from 6 July , ministers have said .
Holidaymakers are expected to be allowed to travel to certain European countries without having to spend 14 days in quarantine when they return .
They are thought to include Spain , France , Greece , Italy , the Netherlands , Finland , Belgium , Turkey , Germany and Norway - but not Portugal or Sweden .
The full list of travel corridors with the UK will be published next week .
A government spokesman said the new rules would give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holiday abroad '' while also boosting the UK economy - but stressed the relaxation depended on risks staying low .
• When can I go on holiday in the UK ?
• What it 's like to fly in the 'new normal' A traffic light system will be introduced - with countries classified as green , amber and red depending on the prevalence of coronavirus .
The UK is likely to discuss arrangements with countries over the coming days .
The government said it `` would n't hesitate to put on the brakes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has seen a rise in the number of new cases in and around Lisbon recently , while Sweden is also unlikely to be on the list because the infection rate there is higher than in the UK .
They are both likely to be classified as red .
But the government spokesman conceded there would be nothing to stop someone avoiding quarantine by flying into a Spanish airport , driving over the border into Portugal for their holiday and returning by the same route .
UK travellers will still have to hand over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on their return from abroad , no matter which country they are coming back from .
And they will also be legally required to wear face coverings on planes and ferries .
Portugal 's Secretary of State for Tourism Rita Baptista Marques told BBC Breakfast her country had been named the most secure destination in Europe by the World Tourism and Travel Council and is a `` clean and safe destination '' .
`` Some countries are in this list and Portugal is fighting for a place , '' Ms Marques said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under control '' , with significant testing being carried out .
Greece 's Tourism Minister Haris Theoharis suggested that it could be up to three weeks before the country is happy to open up an air bridge to the UK , as discussions with health experts are continuing .
Mr Theoharis told BBC Breakfast : `` As soon as we have more clarity , we 'll be able to convey the right dates and the right message so that 's why it 's not easy for me to pinpoint exact dates . ''

The travel sector has gone to war with the government over its blanket quarantine policy .
So a more nuanced , risk-based approach will quieten the critics to some extent .
But the storm of controversy swirling around this policy wo n't completely go away .
Portugal , which will probably not be on next week 's list of exemptions , feels hard done-by .
The country is desperate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in public health terms the US is not currently close to being on the list , it does potentially present a tricky diplomatic dynamic , given the normally cosy relationship between Washington and London .
And the transatlantic flight market is lucrative too .
This announcement is a step in the right direction for UK aviation , but they want testing at airports to also provide another way for passengers to be exempt .
So far , in public , the government has said very little about that .
Travel industry group ABTA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` encouraging '' and said the travel sector `` eagerly '' anticipates confirmation of the list of countries , which `` should encourage customers to book '' .
`` The blanket Foreign Office advice against all but essential travel is still a major impediment to travel , however , and we look forward to the government adopting a similar risk-based approach to that advice , '' it said in a statement .
Jonathan Smith , from ABTA , told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme that the industry expected `` a surge in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more travel companies were likely to go bust before a full recovery was felt .

bbcuk--2020-06-27--Fans' behaviour 'unacceptable' says Liverpool FC

Liverpool FC has condemned the behaviour of some fans who gathered in the city to celebrate the Premier League title win as `` wholly unacceptable '' .
Flares were lit as thousands turned up at Pier Head waterfront despite restrictions on gatherings .
Firefighters also extinguished a small fire at the landmark Liver Building .
Mayor Joe Anderson said the events `` brought Liverpool Football Club and the city of Liverpool into disrepute '' .
Liverpool FC issued a joint statement with the city council and Merseyside Police , saying : `` Our city is still in a public health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` The potential danger of a second peak of Covid-19 still exists and we need to work together to make sure we do n't undo everything that has been achieved as a region during lockdown .
`` When it is safe to do so , we will all work together to arrange a victory parade when everyone can come together to celebrate . ''
Mersey Fire said it quickly extinguished a small blaze on a first floor balcony of the Liver Building .
`` There are not believed to be any injuries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved a firework , '' a spokesperson said .
Mr Anderson told BBC Radio Merseyside he was `` frustrated and angry and upset '' .
He said : `` People were urinating in doorways of the Cunard building because people gathered there with cases and cases of beer .
`` About 95 % of fans have behaved remarkably well , brilliantly , and listened to our pleas not to gather together , and yet there are a tiny minority besmirching Liverpool Football Club 's name . ''
Friday night was the second consecutive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ club 's first league win in 30 years .
`` On Thursday , when they gathered outside Anfield , you could argue that the passion was there and we had to accept that was inevitable , '' Mr Anderson said .
`` But what we saw yesterday was pre-meditated , planned , thought through , and drink played a major part in that .
`` That 's no [ longer ] acceptable now in this city . ''
It just looks absolutely horrendous .
You 've got boxes , broken bottles , cans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bags all strewn across the lawn area in front of the Liver Building and by the Mersey Ferry Terminal .
Normally , many people will go down on a daily basis and it 's an absolutely spotless beauty spot , but that 's not the case this morning .
The clean-up is already under way .
