as far as the 12-year-olds if we but as far as the 12—year—olds if we can get 40% of our stockpile to covax as he did calling for only today and in vaccinate children especially in hotspots like blackburn with darwen and maybe bedford because they are the vectors at the moment, then, yes. if not i would hesitate to roll out and use all our stocks when you consider that we are getting really protected when it comes to the most vulnerable but in very many countries in the world were some of the new variance might come and seed here in this country, people have hardly been vaccinated all.— vaccinated all. then e-mail with vaccine threatening _ vaccinated all. then e-mail with vaccine threatening freedom. i vaccinated all. then e-mail with. vaccine threatening freedom. the essence of this story is the tory mp said they won't vote to extend restrictions if the people have been refusing vaccinations as they want back to normal on schedule. what you make of that? this

injured and is covered in wounds and bruises caused by shrapnel. so that's one of the reasons why this kind of reportage really stands out because most of us probably don't know the ins and outs of what is going on butjust know it has part to begin as it does every few years. and an asymmetric death toll with one person in gaza dying —— one person in israel dies for maybe about 15 in gaza. in many people get very angry at the exercise they forget where this all started and why they are huge fashions and they spill over into israel. we are seeing with the israelis fighting and that we are seeing stuff happening on the streets of north london here. this happening on the streets of north london here-— happening on the streets of north london here. , . london here. this dilemma here with re ortaue london here. this dilemma here with reportage really _ london here. this dilemma here with reportage really powerful— london here. this dilemma here with reportage really powerful but - reportage really powerful but sometimes you can lose the wood for the trees as a reader. the context is also really important. this the trees as a reader. the context is also really important.— is also really important. this is a -a er is also really important. this is a paper review- — is also really important. this is a paper review. and _ is also really important. this is a paper review. and we _ is also really important. this is a paper review. and we are - is also really important. this is a i paper review. and we are reviewing the guardian. and ijust live for

good evening. i'm chetan pathak with your latest sports news. we start in the championship, where four teams are trying to claim the final spot in next season's premier league. just over 2000 fans were at bournemouth's playoff semifinal first leg against brentford, and it was the home fans who left smiling after seeing their side win1—0. arnaut danjuma with the goal. brentford, who finished third in the table, should have taken a draw back to west london, though. bryan mbeumo somehow missing the target here. the second leg is on saturday. in the other semifinal first leg, there were around a000 fans at 0akwell as barnsley played swansea. but this time, there was disappointment for the home fans as swansea left with a 1—0 win. andre ayew with the all—important goal in the first half. the second leg is also on saturday. tottenham have responded to reports tonight that harry kane has told told the club he wants to leave at the end of the season. kane's been frustrated after another

disappointing campaign. but ahead of their final games against aston villa and leicester this week, as they chase european football, tottenham have said, "our focus is on finishing the season as strongly as possible. that's what everybody should be focused on." manchester city are at brighton tomorrow, and the champions have had some good news — kevin de bruyne is back in training after a recent injury scare. he missed the premier league games against chelsea and newcastle. he's unlikely to be rushed back for tomorrow. of more importance, of course, is his readiness for the champions league final against cheslea at the end of the month. kevin is important, like everyone is important, and the final, when we are able to stick together and to push each other, will be possible to win it. so, of course kevin's important, everybody knows it, but everyone

is at the same level. crowds are also back at rugby grounds, and bristol bears supporters got to watch their side thump gloucester by 39—7. gloucester were reduced to 1a men afterjust a quarter of an hour, and the floodgates opened with bristol scoring five tries including this one from charles piutau. the result extends bristol's lead at the top of the table to 12 points. and newcastle falcons have all but ended northampton's play—off dreams after beating them 18—10. chidera 0bonna's first falcons try securing the win. and in rugby league, huddersfield giants came close to throwing away a 20—0 lead against warrington wolves, but managed hold out for the win. warrington scored three in the second half to cut the deficit to two points, but a well—timed kenny edwards try allowed the giants to hang on for just their second win so far this season.

elsewhere, super league champions st helens scored five tries and kept out salford in a comfortable win. wigan were given a slight scare by leigh before coming from behind to win and keep up their 100% record. earlier today, we also saw racing fans return as courses were allowed to operate at 50% capacity, up to a maximum of a000 people. spectators at redcar lined the home straight to see miss houdini win one of this afternoon's races. spectators have also been allowed in at leicester and windsor. and the first race was at carlisle, where the excitement of having spectators back got a bit much for this runner, stanley snugfit, who got loose in the parade ring and had little desire to be told what to do. staying with horse racing, and the legendaryjockeyjoe mercer has died at the age of 86. mercer won an incredible 2810

races in his career, including eight british classics. one of the greats of flat—racing, he was championjockey in 1979, and his riding career spanned 36 seasons. he won the oaks at epsom, as well as doncaster�*s st legerfour times. this is him winning the gold cup at ascot on le moss in 1980, the same year he was awarded an 0be. and he went on to become a successful trainer. what a night for britain's ax100m relay team as they took gold at the european championships for the first time in 9a years. lucy hope, anna hopkin, abbie wood and freya anderson were able to hold off the team from the netherlands to set a new british record of three minutes 3a.17 seconds in the opening night of swimming in budapest. i'm so happy.

i knew it was going to be a relatively quick turnaround after the 50, and i'm not always the best at doing that. it's just about facing on the 50 to start with and prepping ahead for the 100 after. the whole team did a greatjob, and we all pulled our weight. and i don't think any of us expected to get the gold, but it's an amazing feeling. and adam peaty also looked in fine form producing the tenth quickest time of his career to win the 100 metres breaststroke semifinal. no other swimmer has gone quicker. great timing with just two months to go until the start of the olympic games in tokyo. britain's hugh carthy and simon yates remain in the top ten of the giro d'italia heading into the race's first rest day. peter sagan sprinted to victory on today's 139—kilometre tenth stage for his first win in this year's race. colombia's egan bernal retained the leader's pinkjersey in the british ineos grenadiers team by finishing alongside his main rivals. and england's summer series against india and pakistan will go

ahead despite the two countries being on the covid red list. india's men and women are scheduled to play in england over the next few months, pakistan are due injuly. the players have been given permission to quarantine at the ageas bowl on—site hotel near southampton rather than government—designated accomodation. new zealand are already at that hotel after arriving yesterday ahead of their test series next month. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the torrential downpours that we had on monday have been fading away gradually through the night, but there's more to come on tuesday, just topping up what has already been a very wet may. 200% of rainfall already in some areas. a lot of it has fallen in the form of showers in the past week, and the showers once again get

going quite quickly. now, there may be some early morning valley fog. that'll clear quickly. the best sunshine in the morning. but these showers will be more prevalent across wales, for example, for the day ahead, spreading eastwards. elsewhere, they'll develop, perhaps fewer for parts of northern england, southern scotland. 0ur weather front in the north and a brisk northerly wind. but again, just torrential downpours to be expected with hail and thunder. because the winds are light, the showers will hang around and they'll linger into the evening and the overnight period. might be some more general rain passing near the south coast. but under the clear skies, again, another chilly start on wednesday before once again those big showers and downpours get going through the day on wednesday. as ever, there's more on the website.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us says it wants to see an end to the violence between israel and the palestinians. with the fighting now in its second week, joe biden says the us is working to secure a ceasefire and has urged israel and the palestinians to protect civilians. indoor gatherings and more social contact are possible once again here in the uk as business owners hope the worst is now over. it's nice to be back as a team. it's nice to be seeing our regulars once again. covid restrictions in taiwan schools and childcare centres shut in taipei amid a rapid increase in cases in the past week.
