Coronavirus: All non-essential shops to reopen from 15 June - PM

All non-essential retailers will be able to reopen in England from 15 June, Boris Johnson has announced, as part of plans to further ease the lockdown.

However, the move is "contingent on progress in the fight against coronavirus", and retailers will have to adhere to new guidelines to protect shoppers and workers, the PM added.

Outdoor markets and car showrooms will be able to reopen from 1 June.

It comes as the number of coronavirus deaths in the UK rose by 121 to 36,914.

Beach-goers cite Dominic Cummings lockdown breaches as reason for packed resort
Many said it was almost impossible to socially distance at the beach during the hot Bank Holiday

In the glorious sunshine of Britain's most popular beaches, lockdown no longer seemed to exist.

As temperatures hit 25 degrees on Bank Holiday Monday, Britons packed picnics and travelled to beauty spots in their droves in order to enjoy the weather with their families.

The crowds have been criticisised for putting the health of the country at risk – but many said that if Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minister's most senior adviser, could break the rules, they can too.

Serial rapist dubbed Beast of Kavos falls 100ft off cliff and suffers multiple injuries while fleeing police

A SERIAL rapist dubbed The Beast of Kavos has fallen off a cliff while fleeing police.

Dimitris Aspiotis, 47, who raped at least seven Brits, suffered multiple fractures after plunging into a ravine.

He was arrested after a three-hour rescue operation to haul him out of the inaccessible spot on a stretcher on the Greek holiday isle.

Police had been hunting him since he was linked to the rape of a 34-year-old Albanian woman two weeks ago - months after his shock release from jail.

He was caged in 2012 for raping up to 100 women, including at least seven British tourists.

But he served just six years of a 52-year sentence because of a law change.

He fractured a leg, hip and spine and ruptured kidney in the fall last Friday at Lefkimmi. Last night, he was in hospital under police guard.

And he now faces an immediate return to prison to serve the rest of his sentence after his latest outrage breached parole conditions.

Coronavirus latest news: Do not drive to test your eyesight like Dominic Cummings, police warn

Senior police officers last night warned of the dangers of driving with impaired vision after Dominic Cummings said he had taken a 60-mile round trip to test if he was fit to be behind the wheel.

The Prime Minister's most senior aide claimed he had driven from his parents' home in Durham to Barnard Castle on Easter Sunday, to check if his eyesight had been damaged after falling ill with suspected coronavirus.

John Apter, the chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: "Folks, I say this in all sincerity and as an important road safety issue. If you're feeling unwell and your eyesight may be impaired, do not drive your vehicle to test your ability to drive. It's not a wise move."

Most of us can probably figure that out for ourselves. Before we drive.
