More lockdown easing in Australia

Australia's two largest states, New South Wales and Victoria have announced their latest plans to ease lockdown restrictions.

NSW officials have told the BBC the 50-person limit at funerals will be lifted immediately, while nightclubs and music festivals will be allowed to operate from August if new cases of coronavirus remain low.

Meanwhile, in Victoria, indoor businesses will be allowed to have up to 50 seated customers at a time - an increase from the current limit of 20 - from 22 June.

Restaurants in parts of the country, including Sydney, had already reopened earlier this month.

Australia has had 7,320 confirmed cases and a total death toll of 102.
