The Welsh government has revealed its roadmap for easing lockdown measures.

Announcing the exit plan, First Minister Mark Drakeford said it would be based on a traffic light system - moving towards a "green zone" under which the most restrictions would be lifted.

Drakeford said the strategy "isn't just a plan to get people back to work" and "puts people's health first".

"We know just how much everyone wants to see their family and friends and this has been a key consideration for us," he added.

No dates were provided for when changes could be made and Drakeford said the government would move "carefully and cautiously" in easing the lockdown.

A total of 1,164 people have died in Wales after testing positive for Covid-19, according to Public Health Wales (PHW) figures.

US Democrats are expected to push a $3tn (£2.4tn) coronavirus stimulus package through the House of Representatives today.

The 1,800-page legislation, dubbed the Heroes Act, would provide a second round of stimulus cheques for millions of Americans and fund various sectors such as local governments, healthcare systems and the postal service.

The wide-reaching bill also includes a section which requires passengers to wear face masks on aeroplanes and public transport, and a so-called "Heroes Fund" which would give extra pay to key workers.

The White House has threatened to veto the bill and accused Democrats of trying to pass "ideological wish lists", while Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called it "a totally unserious effort".

I am writing this from a Vienna cafe - something which in normal times I do frequently, but which hasn’t been possible for two months.

The coffee and the apple strudel are as good as ever, but there are far fewer guests because strict social distancing rules apply.

Cafes and restaurants have to ensure that there is at least a metre between each table.

A maximum of four adults are permitted at each table, along with their children. All the serving staff are wearing face masks.

Normally I wouldn’t make a reservation to come to a cafe, but now customers are being encouraged to do so to help with social distancing and tracing in the event of an outbreak.

Many restaurant owners say it will be a struggle to pay the same overheads with fewer customers and tourists.

In an attempt to stimulate business, Vienna’s mayor Michael Ludwig has announced that all Viennese households will receive a voucher of up to €50 (£54; £44) to use in one of the city’s restaurants or cafes in the coming months.

Sweden controversially opted to avoid a lockdown – a decision defended by Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who says “there is no one-size-fits-all” in this crisis.

He said some media had misreported Sweden’s policy and insisted that “life is not carrying on as normal”. “Many are staying at home,” he told a news conference.

Social distancing is voluntary, but surveys suggest that most Swedes are doing it. The prime minister said the government’s public health recommendations were to be obeyed - “this is not friendly advice”.

He also said the government had failed to do enough to protect the elderly. The vast majority of Sweden’s 3,529 deaths so far have been among the over-70s, the BBC's Maddy Savage reports.

Sweden, with 10 million inhabitants, has not closed its borders, but has advised against travelling abroad.

Babies born to surrogate mothers have been left stuck in Ukraine because of lockdown measures.

The BBC's Jonah Fisher visited a hotel in Kyiv where the children are being cared for:

Some lockdown measures could be "eased at different rates" in different parts of England, the government says.

The prime minister's spokesman said the roadmap for lifting the UK's restrictions talked about being "responsive to local infection rates" and that "could lead to some of the measures being eased at different rates in different parts of the country".

But he added that this approach could also see some measures being re-imposed in some parts of the country and not others.

More than 14,000 fines for alleged breaches of lockdown regulations have been handed out by police in England and Wales.

The UK's largest force - the Metropolitan Police in London - also issued the most penalty notices, with 906. By contrast, Warwickshire Police issued only 31.

Welsh police forces were responsible for 799 of the fines, issued between 27 March and 11 May, compared to 13,445 in England.

The largest number of fines issued in a single day was on 11 April, the Saturday of the Easter weekend, when 600 penalty notices were handed out.

British wildlife charity the RSPB says it has been "overrun" by reports of birds of prey being illegally killed since the lockdown started over seven weeks ago.

Species that had been targeted include hen harriers, peregrine falcons, red kites, goshawks, buzzards and a barn owl.

The RSPB described the crimes as "orchestrated".

It said the "vast majority" of killings had connections with shooting estates, or land managed for shooting. Some birds of prey are known to feed on pheasant and grouse chicks.

Police in the Pakistani city of Karachi have arrested 10 people for vandalising a hospital ward after staff refused to hand over the body of a relative who died of Covid-19.

Video footage showed broken windows and furniture in the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.

Its director Dr Seemi Jamali said 37 coronavirus patients were being treated in the ward that was smashed up.

The 60-year-old patient had been referred on Wednesday when his condition deteriorated, and died the following evening.

“The relatives who were camping close to the hospital wanted us to hand them the body immediately, but we refused because the rules require us to first inform the district health officer, and then call in the Edhi Trust volunteers who clean the body, wrap it in plastic sheets and ship it for burial.”

Relatives then stormed the ward, breaking furniture, windows and computers, and took the dead body downstairs.

Scammers are using lockdown to trick lonely people out of cash with false promises of future romance, a victims' charity has warned.

One 62-year-old widow said she lost thousands of pounds to a man claiming to be an American living overseas, before discovering she was the victim of a criminal gang working in shifts.

The fraudsters posing as the woman's long-distance suitor started grooming her before the pandemic, but the virus gave them a chance to get more money from her.

If you're just joining us, here are Friday's main developments so far:

• Germany's economy, the largest in Europe, has shrunk by by 2.2%, the worst figure since 2009 and the financial crisis
• The US could face its "darkest winter in modern history" because of the coronavirus pandemic, a former top health official has told Congress
• Some National Health Service managers have tried to stop doctors speaking publicly about shortages of personal protective equipment in the UK, the BBC has been told
• The Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have opened their borders to one another, creating a coronavirus "travel bubble"

• More than 1.5m people have recovered from the virus worldwide, but 300,000 people have died

The congestion charge in London will be reinstated on Monday and will rise from £11.50 to £15 from 22 June.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said the "temporary" increase was intended to encourage the public to walk or cycle rather than drive, at a time when people are urged to avoid crowding onto public transport.

The hours are also being extended: the congestion charge will now apply from 07:00 to 22:00, seven days a week. A system of reimbursement for NHS workers will be extended to care home workers, however.

The low emission zone and ultra-low emission zone - which impose levies on high-polluting vehicles - are also returning on Monday.

China has urged the US to help strengthen co-operation in the fight against coronavirus, following renewed criticism of its response from President Donald Trump.

The Chinese foreign ministry said the two governments should be "fighting the virus together", but added that this would require the US "to want to work with us on this".

On Thursday President Donald Trump threatened to "cut off the whole relationship" with China, as he continued to accuse Beijing of not doing enough to stop the spread of the virus.

The relationship between the two countries could worsen further after the US Senate passed a bill calling for Beijing to be punished for human rights abuses in Xinjiang. As many as one million Muslim Uighurs have been sent to "re-education camps" in the province.

Photos of a packed airport in Indonesia have triggered an uproar online.

On Thursday passengers filled Soekarno-Hatta airport, near Jakarta, after domestic flights reopened with restrictions in place. Those allowed to fly include state officials, workers for private and state-owned enterprises catering to essential services, and people needing emergency medical care, among others.

They also need test results proving they’re Covid-19 negative, or a health certificate from a local hospital.

Airport operators said they would try to maintain physical distancing in every area, but many are upset that rules are not being firmly enforced.

The anger followed another breach of distancing rules when Jakartans flocked to the country’s first McDonald’s branch on Sunday to mark its closure after 30 years in operation.

Cancer patients have told the BBC of the devastating impact Covid-19 is having on their treatment and quality of life.

A massive testing programme is under way in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus first emerged in December.

Officials hope to check all 11 million residents. They have already tested 3 million people since April, state media say. Authorities want to establish the number of asymptomatic cases present in the city.

It comes after Wuhan recorded its first new case for more than a month last weekend, with an additional five new confirmed infections reported on Monday.

Photos from the city show long queues at testing sites. You can read more about the programme here.

Earlier, Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he wanted to open "some aspects of tourism" in the summer season.

"It will have to be very careful and cautious and it will have to be with the consent of the community in places where tourism visits," he said.

It comes as Drakeford publishes the lockdown exit plan for Wales, setting out a traffic light system for progressive easing of restrictions on education, social life and business.

He said that unlike in England, there would be no proposed dates for steps like reopening schools, as the Welsh government wanted to focus on progress in reducing the transmission of the virus rather than setting a fixed timeline.

In many places it's now advised, or even mandatory, to wear a face mask or face covering. But what's the right way to wear one?

We explain how it should fit and some other key points, in just under a minute:

Germany will ease quarantine rules for visitors arriving from the EU and the UK, the interior ministry says.

On Wednesday it began to open some border crossings with Austria, France and Switzerland. The country said it is aiming for "free travel" in the EU by June.

A decree declaring an end to Slovenia's coronavirus outbreak will come into effect at the end of this month. Prime minister Janez Jansa said his country had "the best epidemiological status in Europe".

Neighbouring states may dispute that point. Montenegro has reported no new cases of Covid-19 for more than a week, and only eight active cases. Slovenia has reported just 35 cases in the past two weeks.

The official end of the epidemic will allow EU citizens to cross at certain border points without having to quarantine. People from non-EU countries will still face a two-week isolation period.

The timing of the decree allows Slovenia to claim to be the first European country to declare victory over Covid-19, but there is also an element of expedience. It prevents the automatic extension of emergency aid for businesses and individuals, which will now cease at the end of the month.
