the mhra said it had carried out a rigorous review of the vaccine in adolescents between 12 and 15, saying the benefits outweigh the risks. the uk's vaccine committee will now decide on whether to advise the government that this age group should be vaccinated as part of the uk rollout. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. america has been doing it for a month. �* , ., america has been doing it for a month. g , ., , ., ., month. just got the shot a few minutes a90- _ month. just got the shot a few minutes ago. this _ month. just got the shot a few minutes ago. this is _ month. just got the shot a few minutes ago. this is the - month. just got the shot a few minutes ago. this is the best i month. just got the shot a few i minutes ago. this is the best way month. just got the shot a few - minutes ago. this is the best way to go about things. find minutes ago. this is the best way to go about thingie— minutes ago. this is the best way to go about thin95-_ go about things. and now, the uk is one step closer— go about things. and now, the uk is one step closer to _ go about things. and now, the uk is one step closer to vaccinating - go about things. and now, the uk is one step closer to vaccinating older| one step closer to vaccinating older children. the regulator the mhra has authorised the pfizer vaccine for 12- to authorised the pfizer vaccine for 12— to 15—year—olds. it says this is a safe and effective. but the roll—out will only be extended to younger teenagers if the joint committe younger teenagers if thejoint committe on vaccination and immunisation advises the government to do this. right now, much of the focus here, though, is on a rise in case numbers. at the peak in

january, figures from the office for national statistics suggested that one in 50 people across the uk would have tested positive. but those numbers fell steadily, and by the start of may, it was down to one in 1375. but now it has gone up to one in 660 people. this has been driven partly by an increase in cases of the variant first identified in india, known as delta. a lot of that is focused on places with high rates like blackburn and bolton. but now, public health england says the delta variant is the most widespread across the uk. the big question, though, is, what does this mean for the next step along the roadmap to reopening in england?— reopening in england? there isn't an hinu reopening in england? there isn't anything yet _ reopening in england? there isn't anything yet in — reopening in england? there isn't anything yet in the _ reopening in england? there isn't anything yet in the data _ reopening in england? there isn't anything yet in the data to - reopening in england? there isn't anything yet in the data to say - reopening in england? there isn'tl anything yet in the data to say that we are definitively off track, but it is too early to make the decision about 21stjune. he it is too early to make the decision about 21st june._ about 21st june. he says yet, because there _ about 21st june. he says yet, because there is _ about 21st june. he says yet, because there is still - about 21st june. he says yet, because there is still so - about 21st june. he says yet, | because there is still so much

be concern for parents? let’s long-term safety data, so there will be concern for parents?— be concern for parents? let's start with the regulator— be concern for parents? let's start with the regulator because - be concern for parents? let's start| with the regulator because actually this is not unexpected. america has been doing it for a month, france and germany are about to start the same. 0ur regulator the mhra which is very well regarded has taken longer to weigh up its decision and it has looked at the risks and benefits and says it has done a rigourous review. but as you said children don't tend to get very sick from covid that often but they have made the decision that the benefits outweigh the risks, and why is that? one reason, case numbers are going up one reason, case numbers are going up again, and at the same time the age group with the highest rates of covid, secondary schoolchildren in england. so, the worry is that they will pass that on two older, more vulnerable age groups, who would get sick. it is really important for us to say that this does not mean that teenagers are about to get called up for their vaccine because actually, the regulator approved the pfizer jab for 16—year—olds and 17—year—olds in december last year and they are still not part of the roll—out plans in the uk. why is that? it is because there is another

very big important step. thejoint committe on vaccination and immunisation advises the government at an it needs to have its say, too. so, yes, the regulator has said that this is safe and effective for children but that does not mean that the committee will decide that this is the right thing to do. so it is going to weigh up all of those things, those risks and benefits once again. but there is another, ethical question, which is, is it right for us to be vaccinating such a low risk group when other countries are struggling to get hold of their vaccines? we will wait and see. ., ~' of their vaccines? we will wait and see. ., ~ , ., portugal and the travel industry have reacted angrily to the government's decision to remove the country from the green travel list. ministers say they know holidaymakers may be disappointed, but they're concerned about a new covid variant linked to nepal. holidaymakers in portugal now face a race against time to book covid tests and flights home to beat the mandatory quarantine period that will come into force next tuesday, and british airways are putting on extra flights to get tourists back to england. our business correspondent

portugal. i spoke to one woman, a nurse, who had not seen herfamily in portugalfor two nurse, who had not seen herfamily in portugal for two years, nurse, who had not seen herfamily in portugalfor two years, she knows that when she comes back she will have to quarantine, she said she understood although she was disappointed. i spoke to a man who lives in the algarve, he was also disappointed, frustrated even and he said it would be very difficult for people there who rely on close, unbroken ties between portugal and the rest of the europe and also the united and i also sport spoke to four men who looked a bit more jovial than everyone else, and i said, why is that? and they said essentially they are going to portugal and coming back by monday evening, that is for five hours before that quarantine begins, and when they come back, a lot of others, as you said in your introduction, will be coming back as well, to try to beat that deadline. and i think, kate, there is a realisation on the trickle of travellers behind me that that green list that we all talked about if you weeks ago has now shrunk down in practical terms, particularly given the restrictions imposed on those green list countries on uk

travellers. so, people here face a choice. they can either go back and forth to gibraltar, they can get a really big boat and sailed towards the south atlantic territories that are on the green list, or they can decide to visit an amber country, which is most of the world now, including portugal, and quarantine on their return.— let's speak to our lisbon correspondent alison roberts. what response from the people that you are speaking to on that side? well, the government here is clearly still very annoyed by the decision and in fact some public health experts here have spoken out and said that they are a little baffled by the scientific basis of the decision. the mention of a mutation, the indian variant, as it has been called, the delta variant, originally identified in nepal, they say that there have only been 12 cases of that mutation identified here, so not yet a concern. 0thers here, so not yet a concern. others might say, well, it is a matter of proportion and so it is a good idea for portugal also to take

precautions. in terms of british tourists here, visiting lisbon airport this morning, we talked to people who really scrambled to rearrange their flights and of course the tests, as you mentioned, thatis course the tests, as you mentioned, that is also a problem, they had come into lisbon, they were not staying there, they had come injust to take a test and going out again before theirflight to take a test and going out again before their flight tomorrow. there are many places in portugal now where you can take tests but people who weren't prepared already to have to change their test date just thought the easiest thing was to come to the airport so we may see with a lot more of that in the airport. and also in the algarve between now and monday and tuesday. incoming flights, of course, practically empty, or certainly much reduced, a british airways flight this morning that would normally have had more than 100 passengers on it only had about 20. so we will see more of that in the next few days, too. . �* ,., more of that in the next few days, too. . �* ., ~ more of that in the next few days, too. . �* ., alison, thank you. wales will proceed with the next stage of its latest easing of covid restrictions from monday. let's speak to our wales correspondent tomos morgan,

who's in cardiff. tomos, the first minister has talked about an easing, but also with an element of caution?— element of caution? yes, the caution. _ element of caution? yes, the caution, kate, _ element of caution? yes, the caution, kate, is— element of caution? yes, the caution, kate, is because i element of caution? yes, the i caution, kate, is because there is still so much uncertainty about this new delta variant, wales, leading the way on vaccinations and the lowest covid transmission rate of all the uk nations but the first minister mark drakeford still minister mark dra keford still concerned. minister mark drakeford still concerned. nevertheless he is progressing with certain easings of mixing restrictions, some of those coming into force on monday. so, from monday, the biggest thing i suppose, up to 30 people can meet in private gardens outdoors or in outdoor hospitality settings. and also from monday, stadiums like this one, the cricket stadium in cardiff, will be able to welcome crowds again, up to 10,000 seating, as long as they are socially distanced, or 4000 standing. and also if things keep progressing in the right manner, vaccination rates remain high and transmission rates and

hospitalisations remain low, then on zist hospitalisations remain low, then on 21stjune it looks likely that the rule of six will come into force here, six can meet indoors and an easing of restrictions for indoor events as well. however the first minister did say in his press conference earlier and here this morning that he is concerned about the influx of the delta variant from hotspot areas in england. the fact that the delta variant is now spreading so quickly in the north—west of england will mean that it will cross the border into wales, the variant doesn't see the border. and the amount of traffic that goes back and forth between north—east wales and the north—west of england is very high of england is very high every day, so, there is a very realistic prospect that we will see that variant spreading into wales. i think what today's announcement makes clear once again really is the different routes that devolved governments are making when it comes to unlocking society. the first minister has never put a date for ending restrictions and he has never

said that 21stjune will be the end of restrictions here again, as is planned in england. and i think the likelihood is that wales will remain at that level one, which is the date we will get to on 21stjune, when groups can mix inside, groups of six, and remained there for some time to come. six, and remained there for some time to come-— six, and remained there for some time to come. changes to restrictions in scotland come into effect tomorrow, with glasgow moving to level 2, but that comes amid rising infections. in her daily briefing, the first minister nicola sturgeon said covid cases have more than tripled over the past month with today's case numbers at the highest level since february. but ms sturgeon went on to say there are now strong indications that vaccines are weakening the link between new cases and hospitalisations. two police forces are to pay damages to more than 600 people following the hillsborough disaster. the south yorkshire and west midlands forces agreed the settlement earlier this year following a civil claim. nobody has ever been convicted over police actions following the disaster, in which 96 liverpool fans died at a 1989 fa cup semifinal. dan johnson reports.

the double injustice of the lives lost at hillsborough and the attempt to deflect the blame from the police has now resulted in an agreement to pay damages to more than 600 people over what the victims' families have always considered to be a cover—up. the forces have agreed to pay compensation to those who are the victims of the cover—up which was perpetrated after the hillsborough disaster way back in 1989. it is a measure of people accepting that there is some element ofjustice in the system, but it still lacks complete accountability as far as many of those who suffered are concerned. south yorkshire police was in charge that april day in 1989 when 96 liverpool fans were crushed to death. in 2012, the force said sorry. i want to apologise unreservedly to the families and those affected. more than 100 officers' statements were changed during the investigation overseen

by west midlands police. now it and the south yorkshire force both reached a settlement for alleged misfeasance in a public office. last week, two former senior south yorkshire officers and the force solicitor were cleared of perverting the course ofjustice because their work was deemed to be outside the judicial process. there were calls for a change in the law. this takes us back to the hillsborough bill that we need to turn into a hillsborough law because that would place a duty of candour on public officials when they are dealing with those inquiries. it would require full transparency. the level of compensation hasn't been detailed, but one of the legal firms said this now marks the end of an unparalleled fight for justice. dan johnson, bbc news. and danjoins me now. a strongly worded statement in from south yorkshire police. the a strongly worded statement in from south yorkshire police.— south yorkshire police. the force sa s we

south yorkshire police. the force says we acknowledge _ south yorkshire police. the force says we acknowledge serious i says we acknowledge serious errors and mistakes were made by south yorkshire police, on the 15th of april 1989 and during the subsequent investigations. it says there was actions on the day of the disaster tragically led to lives being lost and many being injured. the first�*s subsequent feelings caused huge distress, suffering and pain both to the victims and their families. this is something south yorkshire police profoundly regrets. the candour in that statement along with the compensation in this agreement is something that will be welcomed by the families but on both counts for so many of their families this has all come too late.— the chancellor rishi sunak says he is confident of reaching a global agreement on digital taxation ahead of a meeting of world finance leaders. tax on big tech and multi—nationals has been a source of friction between the us and countries including the uk. let's speak to our economics correspondent andrew walker. to explain it in a little bit more

77 years after the campaign that was to become the turning point in the second world war, a memorial to the 22,000 service men and women who died during the d—day landings will open. the british normandy memorial which over looks gold beach, the landing zone for thousands of allied soliders, will be officially opened on sunday. covid restrictions mean veterans and the families of some of those who died and who've raised tens of thousands of pounds towards the cost of the memorial won't be able to attend in person. john maguire has been speaking to some of them. ken peppercorn was born and raised in cambridgeshire but was serving with the royal scots when he landed in normandy on d—day. it was all life jackets, soaked in blood and the sea was all red with blood and that

really, you know, put you off a bit, but i thought to myself, "well, i'm here, i've got to keep going." he was just 22 years old when he attempted his first precarious steps on to what was codenamed gold beach. along with the veterans, families of those who fought and died liberating normandy will attend the commemoration at the national memorial arboretum in staffordshire. they'll watch a video link from france as the normandy memorial has its official opening. chris bates will be there. his uncle sidney, nicknamed basher, is the only victoria cross recipient featured on the memorial. a brave man, like all of them. they were all brave men, whether they win a medal or not. two or three times a year, i spend a weekend or a week if i can, over there, travelling around, pay my respects, just so that our lads are being visited. it gets a bit emotional, you know?

that is how it is. there is a lot of young men out there, so i think it's good that we should remember them and keep visiting them, wherever we can. here at the national archives are the original wartime documents — a valuable resource that formed just part of the research by jane furlong who spent more than nine months determining and double checking every single name on the memorial. the memorial itself is ordered by date, so that what you can do as you're going around the memorial itself you can follow the tide of battle, so you will see, naturally, the 6th ofjune, huge numbers of casualties on that day. but then, as you go around the memorial, you will see other elements of some days were quieter than others, some days there were more casualties, but as you're walking around, you can get sort of a visceral feel for that, as you're physically

walking around it. those not on the walls, the ones who made it home, were fortunate, says eric strange. he was a young sub—lieutenant in charge of beach—landing craft. it was very rough, actually, on the 5th ofjune and 6th, very rough. i got picked up and dropped off sword beach. the rest of the lads had to go over on their own steam, which was a bit naughty that night, 40—foot open barges, as it wasn't a quiet evening at all, very rough sea. it was a hell of a thing to happen, so it is something that you keep in your mind, ina way. but it was all a long time ago. such was the scale of d—day, the brutality of war, and the loss of so many on both sides, including civilians, those who survived say they do feel lucky, and, to this day, talk of the duty they feel to tell the world of their experiences in an attempt to prevent such loss

of life from ever happening again. john maguire, bbc news. a statue of the 17th century slave trader edward colston, that was toppled during an anti—racism protest last year, has gone on public display in bristol today. it is in a museum close to where it was thrown into the city's harbour last year in the wake of george floyd's murder in minneapolis. covered in graffiti and damaged from being dragged along the street, it is being presented lying down expressing the damage caused by slavery. a survey of local residents will decide what happens to the statue after the display. nepal's prime minister has made an urgent plea to world leaders to provide vaccines for his country — as it undergoes a severe second wave of coronavirus. in an exclusive interview with the bbc, kp sharma 0li said the uk had a particular responsibility to help, given its close ties to nepal.

0ur south asia correspondent, rajini vaidyanathan, is in the napelese capital kathmandu. tell us more about what he said. not since the tell us more about what he said. mt since the devastating earthquake here in the poll in 2015 has this nation experienced a crisis of such magnitude. like neighbouring india in recent weeks people have struggled to find hospital beds and oxygen has been in short supply although things are easing here in the capital as the virus spreads to more remote areas. some international aid has arrived including ventilators and ppe from the uk but it is vaccines that nepal needs and then an interview with the bbc the prime minister told me in a direct plea to borisjohnson the needs to put nepal as a priority not least because the service nepal's gurkhas have given to britain. i called our neighbours

and other friends, global, international organisations and others to support us, and we got support also from different governments and organisations, nepalese and others, but it's not enough. and we are trying to get more support. there has been some anger here in nepal as talk of a variant has grown in the uk. the uk. nepal's health ministry says those conversations about the variant are baseless and it doesn't exist and the mean variant here is circulating that as the delta one that was first detected in india.— the delta one that was first detected in india. now, for one woman, leicester city's fa cup victory was the realistion of a promise made more than 70 years ago. margaret angell�*s fiance cecil

popped the question in 1948 — but he didn't have enough money for a ring. he promised to buy her one if his beloved leicester city won the fa cup. sadly cecil died before the club lifted the trophy, so his son stepped in to fulfil his dad's promise. kathryn stanczyszyn went to see margaret's new sparkler. it was a long wait but it was worth it. he used to say it every time. "you'll get your ring when city win the cup." in 1948, cecil angel proposed to his sweetheart, margaret. money was tight so the deal was a proper engagement ring when his beloved leicester city won the fa cup. i never thought i'd get one, to be honest. they got to the final so many times, and i never got my ring. over the decades, margaret got her hopes up on four occasions but it wasn't to be until now. so how does that hand feel, margaret, with a sparkler like that on it now?

it's wonderful. have you taken it off yet? no. i haven't taken it off yet. never will. i'm not going to take it off either. sadly, cecil is no longer around to see the football moment he'd always longed for but his son, mike, decided to step in and honour a promise — the ring his mum deserves and his dad would have wanted her to have. loved his football, loved his sport, loved cricket, rugby. followed leicester, leicestershire with absolutely everything. it'sjust a matter of whether we're all alive for leicester city to win it. yeah, they've made it. 73 years later but they've done it. last week we told the angell family story and it turned out a certain football club was watching. they decided margaret should have another surprise. hello, margaret. i've got something really special to hand over to you. _ i think you probably know what this is, don't you? l that's beautiful. i've been waiting for this

for a long time, so thank you all. they've made my dream come true. fantastic. i didn't imagine anything like this would happen. but to have the fa cup in your garden with your mother and just looking at a 96—year—old with a big grin on her face... for a football club still basking in fa cup glory, this has been a cherry on the cake. one of the best ones, presentations, i've ever done — and believe you me _ i've done a few over the years. but for margaret, fantastic. what a beautiful story! i think if we'd have known margaret had been waiting _ we might have done it quicker. and for margaret, this was the fulfilment of a life promise and the ultimate way to honour the man who made it. i'm sure my husband is up there feeling very happy with his self. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. i like to think that as well. congratulations. time for a look at the weather.
