New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern found herself turned away from a local cafe in Wellington on Saturday because of social distancing measures.

But Ardern and partner Clarke Gayford's "date brunch" was rescued when a member of staff from the cafe chased them down the street to let them know a table had just become available.

In a tweet replying to Joey, Mr Gayford said it was his fault for not booking ahead.

"She had a lovely brunch and left half an hour later. She was lovely with all the staff ... [and] she was treated like a normal customer," the cafe manager later told the New Zealand Herald, external.

Surreal. Eerie. Odd. Just some of the descriptions from fans watching on television from home as professional football returned in Europe with the resumption of Germany's Bundesliga behind closed doors after a nine-week absence.

Erling Braut Haaland scored for Borussia Dortmund in a 4-0 local derby win over Schalke.

But instead of being mobbed by jubilant team-mates, he made sure they all kept their distance as he performed a little dance on the sidelines, in homage to the strict hygiene rules that the league has to follow.

Six matches have been taking place on Saturday, with every shout by players or coaches audible, and social distancing protocol followed by substitutes.

It could be Rotterdam, or anywhere really...

BBC One has begun broadcasting a series of programmes celebrating Eurovison, on the night this year's song contest was due to take place.

The 2020 event was cancelled in March amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Graham Norton and Rylan Clark-Neal are instead hosting programmes which celebrate Eurovision's 64-year history.

Right now, the Irishman is looking back at some of the best-ever songs, including a winning effort from a famous foursome (no, not them yet).

Bucks Fizz won it for the UK in 1981 with Making Your Mind Up, and some pretty high-waisted outfits to boot.

See if you can name the other four UK winners, before they appear on the telly.

Later the BBC will join with other European broadcasters to honour all the 41 songs which would have competed this year.

Coronavirus testing will be extended to all care home residents and staff in Wales, the Welsh government has announced.

The Welsh government had faced criticism for not testing everyone in care homes.

Initially, it had opted only to test individuals with symptoms, and then increased testing to larger homes with no signs of the virus on 6 May.

Testing in care homes in Wales had been more restrictive than in England, where all residents and staff have been eligible for testing regardless of symptoms since the end of April.

Will some children returning to school in England lead to an increase in infections? This is being debated by politicians, teachers and unions.

Dr Jenny Harries, the deputy chief medical officer, said seven different "return to school" scenarios had been modelled by the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).

She said the government had adopted the one scientists estimate will give the smallest increase in the "R" number - the measure of how fast the disease is spreading.

In England, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children will return to school from 1 June. In the rest of the UK, there are currently no plans to return any more children to school.

Some of the reasons given for picking these age groups were to do with preventing spread of disease, for example because older children are more likely to have higher numbers of contacts outside school so pose a greater transmission risk.

Some were about balancing up children's needs, including the fact that younger age groups may find self-directed learning more challenging.

Dr Harries also said daily testing had reached its highest level yet, with 136,486 tests provided yesterday.

Earlier we told you that Piers Corbyn, brother of the former Labour leader, was among the people arrested during a protest against the coronavirus lockdown.

Dozens of people defied social distancing to gather at Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park.

The protesters said they objected to their rights of free speech and movement being curtailed by the regulations introduced to control coronavirus. One group chanted "no 5G" and "no vaccines".

There is no evidence to link 5G and Covid-19.

A flyer advertising the protest called for "no to mandatory vaccines, no to the new normal, and no to the unlawful lockdown".

David Samson, 50, told the PA news agency: "I never thought I'd see, in my generation, the suppressing of civil rights" over a "fake virus".

Deputy Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said it was "disappointing" that the group gathered "in clear breach of the guidance, putting themselves and others at risk of infection".

He said officers urged the group to disperse but "they clearly had no intention of doing so", leading to 19 arrests. A further 10 were issued with a fixed-penalty notice.

The protest was one of a number around the UK, including Southampton and Belfast.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has approved the first clinical trials in the country of a potential vaccine for corornavirus.

He told reporters the trials would be held at the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University, in Nova Scotia.

Trudeau did not reveal who was developing the vaccine, but said that if trials were successful, the National Research Council of Canada would assist production and distribution.

Canada has reported over 75,000 cases of coronavirus, along with 5,595 virus-related deaths.

Horse racing tracks in New York state can reopen without fans from 1 June, Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced.

New York Racing Association's Belmont Park and Saratoga have been listed among racetracks that can run with empty stands, similar to other circuits around the country.

"There'll be guidelines for the actual participants - no crowd, no fans," said Cuomo. "For the industry itself, for the televised viewers, that can still work."

The state reported 157 new deaths on Saturday.

In England, Newcastle racecourse will host the first fixture under plans for horse racing's return behind closed doors next month. If a return to action is approved by the government, the first meeting would also be held on 1 June.

India is nearing two months of a countrywide lockdown and is grappling with 50,000 active coronavirus cases.

But in all that time, grocery stores and food markets have been allowed to stay open, classed as essential services.

The centre of India's biggest cluster is now focused on Koyambedu, a vegetable market in Chennai with a far-reaching trail that's as tangled as the country's food supply chain.

Unsurprisingly, it has sparked a public row over who is to blame. But it has also revealed the challenge of regulating India's bustling, crowded food markets, where space is a luxury and social distancing a fantasy.

Spread over 65 acres in the heart of Chennai, the Koyambedu market is one of the largest in Asia. Wholesale and retail shops selling grains, fruits, vegetables and flowers draw tens of thousands of buyers every day. Add to that the shop owners, truck drivers and daily-wage labourers and it amounts to around 100,000 people, on average.

Reality Check

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said there were 136,486 tests for coronavirus in the 24 hours to 09:00 BST on Saturday - that's the highest daily total so far.

The government set a target of 100,000 tests per day by the end of April. It announced on 1 May that it had exceeded the target by some way but there was controversy as the total included 40,000 "delivery" tests sent out but not yet returned or processed.

It has failed to hit its target 10 times in May, but the past three days have seen figures well over 100,000.

And the figure for people tested - as opposed to the number of tests done - has risen to 78,537. That's the highest it has been so far.

But one category of tests has started to be done in much greater numbers. These "pillar 4" tests are done as part of survey work to research the spread of the virus, rather than of people who are worried they might have the virus.

Just over 30,000 of this category of test was reported for Friday, massively up from the 6,000 reported for 12 May.

UK officials are encouraging social distancing to help protect the public. They also say people should self-isolate at home for at least seven days if they develop a fever of above 37.8C or a persistent cough.

Under the new rules, if you live with others, everyone should stay at home for at least 14 days. People self-isolating should limit contact with family members or flatmates as much as possible: staying at least two metres (six feet) away at all times and sleeping alone.

Cleaning surfaces, eating separately and regular hand washing will also help protect others you live with. You should also avoid sharing towels, toiletries or other household items with someone in isolation and, where possible, avoid sharing a bathroom at all.

We have more on self-isolation as well as specific advice if you live with others, including your family.

Gavin Williamson went out of his way to stress the benefits of going back to school on 1 June but mindful of the fact they need to get teachers on board if that is to work.

He stressed the benefits of letting children mix with their peers, particularly the benefits on their mental health.

The education secretary said they had been listening to the unions, which oppose the measure, adding that the longer schools were closed, the more children would miss out.

He didn't want to say anything confrontational, and it doesn't seem the row has escalated. But there was no shift in the government's position.

There are mixed messages from government, governors and unions - so teachers and parents will be wondering who to listen to.

Watford manager Nigel Pearson has warned against the Premier League returning too soon.

On the day that the German football season reopened for business, Pearson told the Times that players' lives could be in danger if matches were restarted too quickly during the coronavirus pandemic .

"God forbid we have a fatality," he told the Times. "People are closing their eyes to the threat."

People in England have been urged to stay local and avoid travelling to beauty spots this weekend, despite the easing of lockdown rules.

This is the first weekend since the rules were relaxed in England, allowing people to spend as much time outside as they want "for leisure purposes".

Many took the opportunity to head outdoors as the sun came out in parts of the country.

Gavin Williamson says the best way of giving kids the best life opportunities is to return them to school.

A few hours ago, we pointed you towards an article we published today that looked at the last normal photos some of you had on your phones before everything changed.

Well in the past few hours, a lot more people have been joining in and the hashtag #LastNormalPhoto, external has become one of the 20 most-used terms on Twitter around the world.

Each photo tells a story about a world that looked quite different before lockdown - there are plenty of open spaces, big groups and social events.

Even a few well-known names have started to share their own pictures...

Today's government briefing has come to an end, with an emphasis from Education Secretary Gavin Williamson that the government remains committed to a phased reopening of schools in early June - providing the five tests are met and transmission rates remain low.

It means many pupils will remain at home until September, with only a limited return for certain school years being considered.

Nonetheless, Mr Williamson said there are currently no plans to start the new school year in early August.

He said: "We are looking at different initiatives that we could maybe look at rolling out during the summer period", but added he would not divulge more information on those initiatives yet, as there was "a little bit more work to do on them".

People around the world are finding ways to thank emergency workers, help each other and make things feel a bit more normal during lockdowns.

This week, we saw flypasts by the Blue Angels, the Obamas reading to people online, and a socially distant table for one in Sweden.
