this is bbc news. the headlines. areas of greater manchester and lancashire are to get extra testing and military support, after a rise in covid cases. this includes rapid response teams, putting in extra testing, military support and supervised in school testing. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the test on offer. the death of sarah everard in march — a serving metropolitan police officer pleads guilty to her kidnapping and rape. un court upholds life sentences against the former bosnian serb military leader ratko mladic, the butcher of bosnia for crimes of genocide. hundreds of suspected criminals are arrested

worldwide after being tricked into using an fbi—run encrypted messaging app that lured them into police hands. two people have been arrested in southern france — after president emmanuel macron was slapped in the face during a walkabout in the region. and coming up — a lucky escape for molly the labrador, who impaled herself on a giant stick. that's in half an hour. the health secretary matt hancock has announced extra testing with military support for parts of greater manchester and lancashire to help with rising cases of the delta variant, which first emerged in india. the move comes with the same travel guidance currently in place for bolton,

which warns people to "minimise" travel in and out of the area. working with local authorities, we are providing a strengthened package of support based on what's working in bolton to help greater manchester and lancashire tackle the rise in the delta variant that we're seeing there. this includes rapid response teams, putting in extra testing, military support and supervised in—school testing. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the tests on offer. we know that this approach can work. we've seen it work in south london and in bolton in stopping a rise in the number of cases. this is the next stage of tackling the pandemic in manchester and in lancashire. and of course, it's vital that people in these areas, as everywhere else, come forward and get the jab as soon

as they're eligible, because that is our way out of this pandemic together. we can now hear from we can now hearfrom our we can now hear from our health correspondent. the health secretary is described these measures as a strength and package of support that is being extended to areas on the northwest that have seen a real spike in cases linked to the delta or indian variant of covid—i9. basically, that means the whole of greater manchester and all of the areas covered by lancashire county council. now, what this means for people in these areas as they have been asked to minimise travel in and out of affected areas. they have been asked to meet outside wherever possible rather than inside, and everyone is being urged to get a covid—i9 test. now, i think people in the northwest will greet these measures with a weary site of resignation, but also of recognition because some of these areas haven't

been out of some kind of restrictive measures for weeks and weeks, almost since the pandemic began, just a few weeks last summer, areas were free of restrictions. but the government will point to what's happened in bolton, where surge testing under real push on vaccinations does seem to have brought infections down. their argument as if it can happen in bolton, it can happen in these areas as well.— in bolton, it can happen in these areas as well. . , areas as well. dominic use reporting there. our health editor hugh pym explained what this means for the lifting of restrictions later this month. it is certainly another issue for ministers and officials to consider before they make the big decision for england byjune the 14th, next monday, as to whether all remaining restrictions should be lifted the following week, beginning onjune the 21st. i'm told this move in greater manchester and lancashire has been on the cards for a little while. it follows, as dominic was saying there, what's already happened in communities like bolton and leicester and bedford and hounslow in london with this big push to do surge testing.

and they will argue, ministers, that it has worked up to a point in cutting cases and that it can work again and that it shouldn't necessarily affect the big decisions that have to be made for england. but clearly, this variant, first identified in india, is spreading in greater manchester and lancashire and needs to be tackled, but the really important factor is to what extent it increases the numbers of people getting seriously ill and needing hospital treatment. we heard yesterday that of 126 hospital admissions caused by this variant, only three had had two doses of the vaccine. the rest either had one dose or, in many cases, hadn't had it at all. so the argument is the vaccine roll—out needs to be pushed on. but at the moment, hospital numbers remain pretty low, and that and pressure on the nhs is one of the big factors that will be considered.

thank randy grossman the acting us attorney for hosting us here today and our domestic and international partners who have joined and our domestic and international partners who havejoined us. today marks the culmination of more than five years of strategic innovative complex investigative work to disrupt and dismantle encrypted communication services that cater to the criminal elements across the globe. this is operation trojan shields. law enforcement actions in the recent days have not only targeted the encrypted communication platforms themselves, but those marketing distributing and the users utilising the surfaces to further their criminal activity. the san diego works this investigation and collaboration with the attorney office here, ourfederal partners and multiple international the san diego fbi worked the... i'm sorry. operation trojan shields was an

innovative approach to an ongoing evolving and complex problem law enforcement continues to face every day. how to infiltrate closed, encrypted communication devices utilised solely and exclusively for criminal activity. some of the most significant advances in cybersecurity have been the development and advanced encryption techniques used as valuable in everyday life. encryption helps protect us from cyber criminals and safeguards our personal information, which helps us feel confident that we are operating in a safe and secure environment. however, encryption also allows the criminals to operate in the same safe secure environment. hiding their communications and a cloak of secrecy. enabling criminals to operate behind a digital shield inhibits law enforcement�*s ability to prevent and detect crime before it happens. once the crime has

already taken place, law enforcement�*s ability to corrupt evidence is greatly diminished. investigators from around the globe continue to encounter criminals who rely heavily on the ability to hide inside these enclosed encrypted platforms, which brings us back to trojan shields. following the san diego fbi's take—down of a canadian —based company, phantom secure, and 2018, the investigative team observed the phantom secure customers quickly moving to other distributors in the marketplace. one of those was a canadian company, sky global. so rather thanjust focusing on sky global, the investigative team wanted to exploit a significant vulnerability for the criminal organisations, the need for closed encrypted devices. realising the marketplace is a small close next community, the investigative team came up with an innovative solution

to exploit the criminal organisations vulnerability. which was to create our own enclosed encrypted platform to offer to the criminal organisations. i trojan horse of sorts. the creation of our own encrypted platform known commercially as, was set up as a new competitor device to provide an option to phantom secure users, sky global and other organisations looking for new and encrypted devices. some of the phantom secure users found this and began using the platform. other criminal organisations through word—of—mouth started to utilise the platform also. then in march of this year, the investigative team indicted and dismantled sky global driving their customer base elsewhere. some of these customers also came to the platform to utilise it to further their criminal activity. closed encryption devices may look like an ordinary cell phone, but in fact,

they are stripped of any outside application. there is no gps, no e—mail, no connect to facebook. the only practical use is for secure messaging. it is a closed loop environments, meaning you can only message those who have the same brand device. most importantly, you cannot walk into a verizon or at&t store and purchase one of these devices. you must know somebody who sells them. qm. devices. you must know somebody who sells them. ., ., ., sells them. 0k, we are going to leave that _ sells them. 0k, we are going to leave that press _ sells them. 0k, we are going to leave that press conference - sells them. 0k, we are going to i leave that press conference there, that was suzanne turner, the fbi's special agent in charge of this intriguing and audacious operation, a joint operation but run by the fbi. we heard some amazing detail there, didn't we, about her discovery of caches of cocaine hidden in a hollowed out pineapples, cans of tuna, and also in sealed containers of frozen fish. the way the authorities found these details

was by having this encrypted app which was distributed amongst criminal communities and about 90 different countries. an amazing story. rates, moving on now. he shook his head as he heard the five judges uphold his life sentence handed down attorney 17 —— the former bosnian serb military leader, ratko mladic, once dubbed the "butcher of bosnia", has lost his final appeal against his genocide conviction for the 1995 srebrenica massacre. he shook his head as he heard the fivejudges uphold his life sentence — handed down in 2017 for overseeing the massacre of nearly 8,000 bosnian muslim men and boys. the killings were europe's single worst atrocity since the second world war. the appeals panel found mladic had failed to provide evidence to invalidate the previous convictions against him, although the presiding judge dissented on almost all counts. the bosnian foreign minister, bisera turkovich, has been giving her reaction. it is unfortunate. i would expect that the presiding judge would opt for a unanimous

decision, but we also might expect something like that to happen. so, in a way, it is disappointment, but also it is relief that everything has been finalised and confirmed the firstjudgment. let's talk to our correspondentjeremy bowen. he covered the bosnian war extensively for the bbc. jeremy, some viewers won't remember this, it was a terrible trauma at the heart of europe. just remind us how central figure he was to it all. he was a military commander of the bosnian serbs, what happened as yugoslavia, this desperate nation broke out, bosnia was a place where serbs and croats as well and muslim communities all lived more or less on top of each other, and to try to get more territory, the bosnian

serbs, particularly kicked a lot of them out. that was the origin of that phrase, ethnic cleansing. there were these safe areas that the un set up, with some degree of protection, and he was one of them, and they were not safe. they were the most dangerous places in europe at the time. yes, mladic was the military commander, and then toward the very end of the war, he led this having held out for years, and they set about killing all the men who were old enough to carry a weapon. we saw some very chilling footage earlier of suites being distributed to children and to the women, and then they were separated from the men and the boys.— then they were separated from the men and the boys. they were put on buses and cards _ men and the boys. they were put on buses and cards and _ men and the boys. they were put on buses and cards and were _ men and the boys. they were put on buses and cards and were told - men and the boys. they were put on buses and cards and were told to - buses and cards and were told to walk into go across the front lines. the men and theirfamilies, starting

with boys of about 12 or possibly even younger, i think, and going to old men as well were taken away, and most of them were slaughtered. it was, you know, a depraved grotesque action, both the business with the swedes, what was also a terrible day for the un because there were dutch peacekeepers there who basically didn't lift a finger. thea;r peacekeepers there who basically didn't lift a finger.— didn't lift a finger. they were outnumbered _ didn't lift a finger. they were outnumbered or? _ didn't lift a finger. they were outnumbered or? i— didn't lift a finger. they were outnumbered or? i think - didn't lift a finger. they were outnumbered or? i think of l didn't lift a finger. they were l outnumbered or? i think of the didn't lift a finger. they were - outnumbered or? i think of the time the were outnumbered or? i think of the time they were outnumbered, _ outnumbered or? i think of the time they were outnumbered, but - outnumbered or? i think of the time they were outnumbered, but the - outnumbered or? i think of the time i they were outnumbered, but the whole un operation there became desperately compromised by a lack of a desire to confront the things that they were meant to be there to stop people doing, like killing civilians. they said that their mandate was limited. they had all kinds of excuses for what happens, but later on in that year when the serbs really push their luck too far, and then when nato took over and there were air strikes, the whole thing ended quite quickly. they could've had the west wanted to

move, had the security council wanted britain to be a permanent member, wanting to do the things that should have, tens of thousands of lives could've been saved. it of lives could've been saved. it took a long time to bring mladic to justice in the first place because he evaded justice for a long time. welcome to the two leaders of the bosnian serbs went on the run and were essentially shielded by allies in serbia itself, the political leader and mladic, and they were both handed over when the political climate there changed. i was one of the people who testified as a prosecution witness and both of their trials, two other trials as well in the tribunal there, and you know, it was a very worthwhile, i think, think for the victims of those people because they had some justice. they had details for what it happened, there was a very

exhaustive investigation, personally, i was glad to contribute my reporting on the reporting that bbc did too, you know, what was in the and justice. but bbc did too, you know, what was in the and justice.— the and 'ustice. but this is a trauma the and justice. but this is a trauma from _ the and justice. but this is a trauma from which - the and justice. but this is a trauma from which these i the and justice. but this is a - trauma from which these surviving families will never, ever recover. how could you? going through something like that was my first ball, years of being besieged, and well organised, and they fought the serbs off and were able to keep going, but then at the end, they couldn't, but how do you overcome a trauma of families being torn apart placement people being taken away i'm slaughtered? as you said, these are things that haven't happened in europe since the second world war, and they happened in yugoslavia, former yugoslavia on the 1990s, and actually come into the eternal disgrace of many governments, including britain, we did not do enough to stop it. we could've done more. , , ., ,

he also admitted raping miss everard. "guilty, sir," he said when asked to enter pleas on the two charges. the police officer also accepted responsibility for killing the marketing executive, but wasn't asked to enter a plea to a charge of murder, pending medical reports. members of miss everard's family were in court today to hear the pleas the police officer entered. sarah everard's death sparked an outpouring of shock and grief across the country. several cities across the uk held vigils in memory of the 33—year—old. pc wayne couzens is due back in court next month for a further plea hearing. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... let's ta ke let's take a look at the daily coronavirus figures.

6,048 new cases of coronavirus have been reported. there were 13 deaths recorded within 28 days of a positive test. and the total number of second doses of covid vaccines administered has reached 28,227,362 — that's 53.6% of the adult population. two men have been arrested after the french president emmanuel macron was slapped in the face, during a visit to the southeast of france. in a video circulating on social media, mr macron is seen walking up to a barrier on a trip to tain—l�*hermitage outside the city of valence. a man slaps mr macron before officers quickly move in. the dup leader edwin poots has announced that paul givan is to replace arlene foster

as northern ireland's new first minister. mr poots has been unveiling his new team at stormont. mr givan said it was a huge task to follow the dup�*s founder ian paisley, and his successors peter robinson and arlene foster, whom he referred to as "giants". there's a huge responsibility that comes with this position, particularly in serving the people of northern ireland as we come through the covid pandemic, the recovery that's needed in our economy, within our education system, and meeting the needs of the people. we have a huge task when it comes to tackling our waiting lists and we need to get to work, so what we now need is an effective transition that needs to take place next week so that we have that smooth delivery of governance, and that is something that i look forward to doing. our ireland correspondent chris page explained the significance of the changes. it is a new era in unionism and politics in northern ireland, paul givan nominated by the new leader of the dup,

edwin poots, to take over from arlene foster at stormont. a few weeks now since arlene foster was ousted as the leader of the dup. the plan is that on monday, mrs foster will stand down as first minister, and then paul givan will be nominated in the stormont assembly to take over that role. when it comes to political allies, you can't get two people more close than paul givan and edwin poots. whenever mr givan was still a teenager, he became mr poots�*s constituency assistant, then his ministerial adviser, before he himself went into the stormont assembly. he's been sitting in the assembly now for 11 years. in that time, he has been communities minister, meaning he was in charge of everything from social welfare to grassroots sport. more recently, he has been chair of the assembly�*s justice committee. he shares mr poots�*s social conservatism. for example, recently mr givan has been feeding a private members bill

through the assembly tightening up abortion laws in northern ireland, in particular banning abortion in cases where an unborn child has a non—fatal disability. mr poots and mr givan both members of the free presbyterian church, which was founded by the reverend ian paisley. he also founded the dup. both of them would say that faith does play a role in their politics. mr givan now set for the top job in the stormont executive, but it is not quite a done deal yet. his name will be put to a vote in the assembly and it's a cross community vote, so that means that dup�*s main power sharing partners, the biggest irish nationalist party, sinn fein, have to approve mr givan for the topjob, where he will share an office with the deputy first minister, sinn fein's michelle o'neill. there's no sign at the moment that there's a particular problem looming there, but we know that politics

at stormont can be complicated. that relationship between the dup and sinn fein is always uneasy, so over the coming days, we will see more indications as to how events are unlikely to unfold around this change at the top. chris page reporting there. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor. hello, whilst the sunshine and warmth continues across england and wales into the evening, plenty cloud across parts of scotland and northern ireland, which could really thicken as we go towards the end of the day to produce some more spots of rain or drizzle. still pretty mild out there, though, even with the cloud and the patchy rain, a warm start to the evening across the rest of the uk and it will be a fairly muggy night tonight. we'll notice that over the next few nights. some partly clear skies through much of england, wales and eastern scotland. a lot more cloud to the west. and if anything, some of the rain or drizzle will become heavy at times into tomorrow morning through western scotland and northern ireland. notice the temperatures, though — most of the towns and cities in double figures.

but a lot more cloud across the whole of western uk tomorrow. rain or drizzle on and off through northern ireland, certainly into scotland. some of it should be heavy in the north and west. greater chance of some damper weather across parts of northern england, western parts of wales and towards the south—west. even though here, some will stay completely dry. best of the sunshine tomorrow — central eastern parts of england where temperatures again into the mid—20s and even with more cloud and some patchy rain in the west for the next few days, it will tend to be warm and very humid. hello, you're watching bbc news. the headlines: areas of greater manchester and lancashire are to get extra testing and military support, after a rise in covid cases. this includes rapid response teams, putting in extra testing, military support and supervised in school testing. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the test on offer. the death of sarah everard

in march — a serving metropolitan police officer pleads guilty to her kidnapping and rape. the un court upholds life sentences against the former bosnian serb military leader ratko mladic, the butcher of bosnia, for crimes of genocide. hundreds of suspected criminals are arrested worldwide after being tricked into using an fbi—run encrypted messaging app that lured them into police hands. two people have been arrested in southern france, after president emmanuel macron was slapped in the face during a walkabout in the region. sport — and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here's katherine. thanks very much. hi, everyone. good afternoon. england manager gareth southgate says his players are "desperate" to win the european championships,

but that they also have an opportunity to "inspire and unite" the country. england begin their campaign against croatia on sunday — after a couple of warm up matches where players taking the knee have been booed by fans. speaking to the players tribune, southgate added that he knows he and players will be judged on winning matches but that there is "more at stake than that", with the players having a responsibility to "use their voice to raise awareness and educate". it's really simple. i thinkjordan said it the other day. we've had discussions about it, we've chosen what we wanted to do, we agreed it was the right thing to carry on taking the knee, and it's as simple as that. we'll keep doing that and we believe in that and we won't stop. well, england's opening group game against croatia on sunday will be the first sporting event to use vaccine passports in the uk. fans living in england can show their status via the nhs app to prove they've had both doses at least 14 days before the match. those not fully vaccinated yet must still show proof of a negative lateral flow test from friday, saturday or sunday. it doesn't apply

to matches in scotland. we've had two marathon quarterfinals in the women's singles at the french open, with slovenian tamara zidansek beating paula badosa 8—6 in the final set. she'll play the 31st seed anastasia pavlyuchenkova for a place in the final. the russian came through 9—7 in the third against elena rybakina in a match that lasted over two and a half hours. it'll be her first grand slam semifinal too — at the 52nd attempt. and there's still a chance of british success in the mixed doubles. joe salsibury and partner desirae krawczyk are through to the final after a walkover in theirsemi. ——joe —— joe salisbury. it's been 39 years since britain last had a winner in the main draw there. johanna konta had hoped to still be in paris but after her first round exit at rolland garros has entered the nottingham open on the grass —

and she made a good start too. she's the top seed for the wimbledon warm up tournament and breezed past the dutch qualifier lesley pattinama kerkhove in straight sets — 6—1, 6—3. it is just it isjust a it is just a fun surface to play on. it's different, it asks different things of your game, it makes you think differently little bit, and so it's a really fun challenge. and for me and every other brit commits extra special. it's a fun surface and we also get to play at home. all—rounder sophia dunkley has been given her first england women's central contract for this season. she made her international debut at the twenty20 world cup three years ago, and she's already scored a century this season for surrey and south east stars. dunkley is one of 17 players to receive a deal, ahead of a busy summer which begins with their first test against india in more than seven years, starting a week tomorrow.

for the second week running, gloucester have had to cancel a premiership rugby match after a covid outbreak. their match at worcester this weekend has been called off with last saturday's fixture with bath also affected. gloucester rugby say the health and wellbeing of our players and staff is paramount. speaking of health and well—being... english golfer danny willett has revealed he's had surgery for appendicitis. he played at the memorial tournament in ohio over the weekend, and today he tweeted a picture of himself in a hospital bed with the message... may it will get a lot better, danny willett, from now on in. that is all the support now. austin halewood will be back at 6:30pm for a full round up on sportsday.

thank you. matt hendrick is no sector testing for greater manchester and lancashire to help with rising cases of the delta variance that originated in india. the move comes with travel advisement. lets talk now to sir richard leese, labour leader for manchester city council and health lead for greater manchester combined authority. good afternoon to you, sir richard. i was wondering if it is part, by you just telling us a bit about the situation in the area that you cover just how concerned are you about it? we have seen over the past week a fairly rapid rise in prevalence across the whole of greater manchester, probably in 16 to 29—year—olds. we are not seeing a similar rise in the over 60s. we are not seeing mass hospitalisations, we are certainly not seeing lots of people going into intensive care, the death rate remains very low in

deed. what we want to do, and i think these measures will help us do it, is contain the virus and make sure we maintain the situation which allows our economy to continue to function relatively normally for people, go their everyday business, relatively normally for somewhat we haveis relatively normally for somewhat we have is a load of measures to support us around testing, around tracing, around vaccination, and on top of that, we promised resources from outside, and the guidance is really the sensible guidance of people taking care and look after themselves, looking after other people, not doing things they don't need to do. bud people, not doing things they don't need to do. �* ., people, not doing things they don't need to do— need to do. and a package of measures _ need to do. and a package of measures is _ need to do. and a package of measures is what _ need to do. and a package of measures is what was - need to do. and a package of - measures is what was introduced important when bought with the real area of concern, and you think that that has helped bring down infection rates there? . ., ., , .,

thing we are pushing government around is around vaccination and certainly that ability to be able to vaccinate younger people in those target areas to have the vaccine that allows us to do that in a flexible way. that doesn't do be contained within the package that has been offered —— that does seem to be. if we are able to do that, that will offer a full package of support. that will offer a full package of su ort. ~ ., that will offer a full package of su ort, . ., ., that will offer a full package of su- ort. . ., ., i. that will offer a full package of su--ort. ~ ., ., ., , that will offer a full package of suuort. . . ., . , support. what do you mean being able to administer— support. what do you mean being able to administer the _ support. what do you mean being able to administer the vaccine _ support. what do you mean being able to administer the vaccine in _ support. what do you mean being able to administer the vaccine in a - support. what do you mean being able to administer the vaccine in a more - to administer the vaccine in a more flexible way? by that, would you mean actually offering into age groups younger than who have been offered nationally at the moment? thejoint offered nationally at the moment? the joint committee offered nationally at the moment? thejoint committee on offered nationally at the moment? the joint committee on vaccination and immunisation has been very strict about the age balance that you work through in order to get everybody fascinated. we believe there is flexibility in the package to be able to vaccinate eligible people, people who live in target areas, areas of higher risk within

our localities cub outside of those age balance and i think it is really important that we do have the flexibility to be able to do that. do you feel you have the flexibility, though? from what i have seen _ flexibility, though? from what i have seen the _ flexibility, though? from what i have seen the package, - flexibility, though? from what i have seen the package, we - flexibility, though? from what i | have seen the package, we have flexibility, though? from what i - have seen the package, we have the flexibility to do that. the question is, we have enough pfizer vaccine to be able to do that? and that's part of the discussion we have with government, putting together, submitted to government today at package that will allow us to do search vaccination and what we agreed with government, and the targeted areas, clearly part of that discussion is have the supply. we are not talking but vast amounts, but the supply that is required to work in those targeted areas. of course if we can't contain the virus in those target areas, it helps not just the people there but it stops the spread into other areas as well. interesting. and one of the areas of the guidance that had been applied

to bolton which went out apply to these areas is warning people to minimise travel in and out of the area, and that was seen as being a little bit vague. how do you interpret that? i little bit vague. how do you interpret that?— little bit vague. how do you interpret that? i think early on, that was wrongly _ interpret that? i think early on, that was wrongly interpreted i interpret that? i think early on, j that was wrongly interpreted as being some form of local lockdown. we have been totally opposed to local lockdowns, and bolton has been locked down more than anywhere else in the country. i think it has demonstrated beyond doubt that local lockdowns do not work, so we are still part of a national package of restrictions, of regulations, so that hopefully will remain the same, and he guidance isjust sensible guidance about telling people to behave sensibly when they are in the middle of an epidemic. {lila behave sensibly when they are in the middle of an epidemic.— middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to talk to you. — middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to talk to you, thank _ middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to talk to you, thank you _ middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to talk to you, thank you so _ middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to talk to you, thank you so much. - middle of an epidemic. 0k, good to | talk to you, thank you so much. that is sir richard leese, who was the labour leader for manchester city council. thank you. —— who is the labour leader.

anyone entering the uk from portugal will now have to self—isolate at home for ten days and take two covid tests during that period, after the country was moved from green to amber on the travel list. airlines put on extra flights to bring british holiday—makers home, before the change came into force at 4am today. theo leggett reports. beaches in the algarve almost deserted. last week, british holiday—makers were flocking here, keen for an overseas break after months of lockdown. but not any more. instead, last night, the region's airports were crowded, as tourists struggled to get home. arriving back in britain, many were frustrated. it is a massive inconvenience and obviously cost everyone a lot of money to have to come home and cut their holiday short. we booked it before they said it was green. if it was orange or amber, we would have rebooked our holiday to go some other time. the government operates a traffic light system for travel. a handful of countries are on the green list.

you can go there on holiday without having to isolate on your return. until early this morning, portugal was on this list. but now, along with its island territories, it is classified as amber, meaning returning passengers have to go into isolation for at least five days and pay for covid tests. the new rule came into force at 4am and these passengers did not make it back in time. we didn't have a week's grace period, only a couple of days, and our holiday has now been spoiled by trying to sort the appropriate tests to keep in line with government guidelines. it impacts on my family. we've got a little lad who, for school, he is going to have to quarantine as well. missing the deadline is likely to cause problems for some. if you're now finding you are having to self—isolate and quarantine now, the first thing is to see if you can agree whether your employer will allow you to take that leave as paid annual leave, if you have any left. if you haven't or the employer doesn't agree to that, the default position is it would be unpaid leave.

the removal of portugal from the green list is obviously frustrating for would—be holiday—makers who want nothing more than a few days in the sunshine, but it is also deeply frustrating for the travel industry, and people within that industry are now saying the government needs to be a lot clearer about why it has taken the decisions it has. we supported the traffic light system when it was conceived. you know, we contributed through the travel task force, but what has occurred since is the traffic light system is really not put into use, and we can see the data and methodology underpinning the decisions has not been made public or clear to any of us, and the word "vaccine" does not appear in the framework. the government insists its decision to remove portugal from the green list was fully justified because of rising covid rates and the emergence of another new variant of the disease. but with the peak summer season fast approaching, travellers and travel firms alike will be hoping that position can be relaxed sooner rather than later.

a lot of newspaper sites, amazon, reddit, twitch. people visiting them got a message saying "error 503, service unavailable". it appears to have been all down to a company called fastly, which is a cloud computing provider which provides all sorts of essential services to websites. think of it as a traffic management system, guiding the traffic to them in a smooth way. well, it had a major problem. it's put out a statement saying, "we identified a service configuration that triggered disruption globally and have disabled that configuration". to translate that, it was not a hacking attack, it was some issue with this company. what that's highlighted isjust how few companies we depend on to basically run the internet — and if they go wrong, everything falls apart. around 3% of adults have a stammer — that's according to the british stammering association. and one of those with the condition is the former scotland rugby union captain kelly brown. he has been speaking

to our reporter lydia campbell, who also has a stammer, about how sport can help to build communication skills. commentator: applause from the crowd, _ it's all scotland can do. kelly brown is through. i'm kelly brown, former scotland rugby captain, and i've got a stammer. like me, kelly is one of the estimated 1.5 million adults in the uk who have a stammer, a neurological condition that makes it physically hard to speak. but kelly also rates the highest level of his sport, and having a stammer was never an issue when playing rugby. i started playing when i was about five, every sunday i'd go down to the club and all my mates were there, and we got to go out and throw a ball around and have fun, and so it was never even an issue, it wasn't even a part of the conversation. it was just a part of me and no one cared, and everyonejust accepted it. when i was growing up, really struggling with my speech, i found sport was the safe spot.

do you think that sport, with it being so communication based, can really help kids with stammers? i think it's brilliant for all sorts of life skills, but especially communication, because it teaches you how to be a part of a team, and a part of that is having to communicate with your team—mates. you know, good team—mates, you've got to support each other. and so it was just an amazing environment, i believe, for anyone that's got a stammer. many people with a stammer find the idea of sport daunting, but anything that can help to bring confidence can bring benefits. anything that gets them mixing with other people and having to talk and converse and building their confidence and potentially pushing themselves out of their comfort zone as well is a positive thing for young people to do, to realise they can do these scary things.

now a patron of the british stammering association, kelly has a strong message for those struggling because of their stammer. it's a part of you, it's just how you speak, but never let it hold you back. i fully believe that any stammerer, they can do whatever they want. lydia campbell, bbc news. a 17—month—old black labrador called molly has had a miraculous escape after a freak accident which saw a metre long stick penetrate her body. it missed her major organs by a fraction and vets were able to remove it without causing any major damage. phil mackie's been to meet her and takes up the story. this was molly two months ago, impaled on a giant stick. but don't worry — here she is today, all better. she's full of energy, and that sometimes gets her into trouble, like the day she chased her ball down a bank.

her owner amy heard a sudden squeal and found molly with a stick in her chest. i thought that was it then, because half of it was out. and where it went in, itjust looks like it could've gone straight through. didn't know what to do, but then we just knew we had to get help as soon as we could. she's back today for a checkup with the man who operated on her. the x—rays show how far the stick had gone in, narrowly missing some major organs. the stick wasjust underneath her long, and then it had gone the stick wasjust underneath her lung, and then it had gone through her diaphragm. and again, similarly, it sort of moved... her liver wasjust moved upwards, so if it'd been a little bit further up, it could've quite easily have lacerated her liver and that she could have bled really severely. what's it like seeing molly now? it's great. to see them walking out, fixed and happy with their owners, that's the best bit, really. so, molly is clearly a lot better now — there you go, molly — and it's amazing, really, considering this is the stick that

went in, and this is the rest of it, a metre long, and she's completely fine. but for now, it's safe to open spaces and soft toys and nothing sharp to be seen anywhere. phil mackie, bbc news, derby. you need a strong stomach to watch that! time for a look at the weather now. here's matt taylor. it's been a pretty warm day once again, particularly for england and wales. over the next few days, we continue with the warm theme across the board with more cloud, turning increasingly humid. that turning increasingly humid. will produce more rain drizzle that will produce more rain and drizzle for the northwest. but not much. this is the rainfall chart for the rest of the week. the rain mainly across western scotland. elsewhere, a bit patchy and many central and eastern areas will see hardly any rain. for the moment, we have seen some light rain and drizzle across western areas. through the rest of today, it stays fairly cloudy across much

of northern ireland and scotland. some more rain or drizzle here in the evening. further south and east, temperatures remaining in the 20s into the early part of the evening. through this coming night, more rain and drizzle in western areas, could be heavy bursts for northern ireland and the west of scotland. more cloud turning up in western parts of england and those temperatures creeping up night on night at the moment. high pressure south of us drawing air all the way from the atlantic, but with low pressure to iceland, we start to pick up more breeze through scotland and northern ireland on wednesday and more in the way of rain. some heavy bursts, and we could see patchy rain or drizzle across parts of northern and western england as well as western wales. the sunniest conditions through parts of the midlands. temperatures here up in the mid 20s. but with that humid air in place as we go through wednesday night into thursday morning, temperatures are not going to drop much. these are the lows to take us into thursday morning. it is going to be a pretty humid

start and that's because we've still got that run of south—westerly wind coming all the way from the mid—atla ntic. more weather fronts pushing into parts of north—west scotland and that will bring further rain at times. patchy drizzle and extensive cloud elsewhere. not expecting huge amounts of sunshine on thursday but even with that cloud, temperatures are still widely in the low to mid 20s across the country. some cloud on friday, by the weekend, more sunshine and it's going to turn hot, especially for england and wales. some spots across england in particular could get close to around 30 degrees.

today at six... a met police officer has pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and rape of sarah everard. she disappeared while walking home in march. her death sparked a national debate about the safety of women. wayne couzens accepts he killed ms everard, but he won't enter a plea until medical reports are completed. also tonight... more support for greater manchester to increase vaccinations and testing. people are being advised to minimise travel in or out of the area. it's where the indian or delta variant of covid is spreading fastest. i want to encourage everyone in manchester and lancashire to get the tests on offer. we know that this approach can work. the sun is out, the beaches are ready but where are the tourists?

anger across the travel industry over the government's
