4:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm ben brown, live in cornwall for the g7 meeting of world leaders. the lifting of england's remaining coronavirus restriction could be delayed by up to four weeks — as the prime minister says it's a race between the spike in cases and vaccines. you've got to be cautious it in order to deliver what we want to see, which is an irreversible road map, but we're looking at the data today and again you've got hospitalisations up, you've got cases up. the prime minister also says there's a "lot of misunderstanding" from the eu about northern ireland trade — as tensions over
4:01 pm
the issue hang over his talks with fellow european leaders. meanwhile, the us president's focus will be on forming an alliance of countries to combat the growing influence of china. i'm shaun ley — the other main stories this hour... wales and switzerland's euro 2020 match ends in a draw — as england fans gear up for their team's chances in their opening game tomorrow. a very good afternoon to you. it's day two of the g7 summit in cornwall. a meeting of the world's seven largest established advanced economies. afternoon, ben.
4:02 pm
good afternoon — i'm here at tregenna castle — the resort in st ives, cornwall in the south west of england which is hosting world leaders for the g7 summit. based in glorious cornish sun sign. today they're focussing on how to prevent future pandemics — with a global early warning system for new viruses — and on how to counter china's growing influence in the world. but on the mind of the british prime minister, borisjohnson, is the decision he has to make by monday, about whether or not to lift remaining cornoavirus restrictions in england onjune 21st — talking to the bbc�*s political editor laura kuenssberg earlier, he said the government has to proceed with caution. what i can certainly say is that we are looking at the data and continuing to do that. we'll be seeing more on monday when the decision comes due. but i think what you can certainly take, laura,
4:03 pm
is that the road map was always cautious but irreversible, and in order to have an irreversible road map you've got to be cautious, and we'll be spelling out exactly what we'll be doing on monday. i'm afraid you will have to wait until monday to get the full picture. but it sounds like you are basically saying to people they are going to have to be patient, because what you want to avoid is going ahead and then having to back out. correct. we want to have a cautious but irreversible road map. we've made massive progress with the vaccination programme. it's done a huge amount of good. but you've got to be cautious in order to deliver an irreversible road map. i'm hearing very clearly that there is going to be a delay of some description. wait to see what we say on monday. partly overshadowing the summit here are simmering tensions over the post—brexit trade deal between britain and the eu and how it affects northern ireland — and there've been some key bilaterals in the last few hours —
4:04 pm
borisjohnson talking here to french president macron. borisjohnson talking according to the french read—out, mr macron said he wants to re—set franco—british relations — but only if the uk respects the brexit agreement it struck with the european union. mrjohnson also sat down with outgoing german chancellor angela merkel — they too discussed how the post—brexit trade arrangements affect northern ireland. the prime minister told the bbc there needs to be pragmatism and compromise on both sides. i think, to be fair, there's quite a lot of misunderstanding around the eu about the situation in northern ireland and the balance of the good friday agreement, the peace process, and i wasjust in a gentle way getting across what that means. and i think that we'll have some pragmatic solutions.
4:05 pm
and if we don't, then i think that what our friends also understood is that it's the prime duty of the uk government to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom. and that's what we're going to do, and we'll do whatever it takes to ensure that. the bbc�*s deputy political editor, vicki young joins me. he says will do whatever it takes. this is an issue that is beginning to overshadow this g7 summit, because there's been some quite tough rhetoric on both sides on this. , . �* , , tough rhetoric on both sides on this. , . �*, , ., this. yes, that's right. these are -rivate this. yes, that's right. these are private bilateral— this. yes, that's right. these are private bilateral talks _ this. yes, that's right. these are private bilateral talks don't - this. yes, that's right. these are | private bilateral talks don't always stay private, and i think most people — stay private, and i think most people did predict that the practical effects of brexit were going — practical effects of brexit were going to — practical effects of brexit were going to be an issue, particularly as it _ going to be an issue, particularly as it affects northern ireland. the question— as it affects northern ireland. the question now, listening to boris johnson, — question now, listening to boris johnson, what does he mean by do

4:13 pm
part of that. if greener. the oceans are very much part of that-— part of that. if we don't protect the ocean _ part of that. if we don't protect the ocean then _ part of that. if we don't protect the ocean then we _ part of that. if we don't protect the ocean then we can't - part of that. if we don't protect the ocean then we can't stand l part of that. if we don't protect| the ocean then we can't stand a chance of tackling climate change or the biodiversity crisis, because after all, the biodiversity crisis, because afterall, most the biodiversity crisis, because after all, most of this planet is ocean. at the moment, only 2.7% of the ocean is protected from damaging activities, and that really needs to be 30% plus. i'm very glad that these ministers are getting together and the leaders are getting together to discuss the ocean, because it has been ignored for too long. and it's going to be one of the main ways that we get out of the crisis we are in because you can get so much power from the ocean stop there is all that space to build wind farms, floating wind farms, and that will bring down the co2 emissions, just as it has done in britain already. that can be scaled up around the world. ~ ., ., ~' that can be scaled up around the world. ~ ., ., ., , world. were looking out now at this beautiful sea _ world. were looking out now at this beautiful sea behind _ world. were looking out now at this beautiful sea behind us. _ world. were looking out now at this beautiful sea behind us. how- world. were looking out now at this beautiful sea behind us. how wouldj beautiful sea behind us. how would you characterise the state of the world's oceans at the moment? it
4:14 pm
world's oceans at the moment? it looks beautiful on the surface, but if you were a diver and you see the sea bed, it is almost like there has been a boot stuck on the neck of the sea bed in terms of trolling damage, because most of the carbon is being liberated from the sea floor by repeated dredging and repeated fishing, and of course there is both a diesel. this is extensive damage to the sea bed that we want to see halted, because if you hold that damage than the sea bed recovers quickly and it starts to store more carbon, and it's a fantastic way of getting carbon out of the atmosphere and into the sea bed, which is going to help us all. bps and into the sea bed, which is going to help us all. fissi and into the sea bed, which is going to help us all-— to help us all. as i said at the beginning. — to help us all. as i said at the beginning. we _ to help us all. as i said at the beginning, we have _ to help us all. as i said at the beginning, we have heard - to help us all. as i said at the i beginning, we have heard some promises from the politicians about tackling this issue of cleaner oceans. do you believe them? to take them their word? i do oceans. do you believe them? to take them their word?— them their word? i do actually. they are in charge — them their word? i do actually. they are in charge of _ them their word? i do actually. they are in charge of almost _ them their word? i do actually. they are in charge of almost half - them their word? i do actually. they are in charge of almost half the - are in charge of almost half the world's wealth, this gang of seven nations, and they all realise
4:15 pm
because of the increased strength of typhoons and hurricanes and see flooding and the loss of habitats across the coastline, in britain and all around the world because of sea—level rise, they know that it is so important that we build back from the pandemic situation. and we also know that societies can change the way they do things rapidly if necessary when there is an emergency. the climate emergency, i think, is even worse than the pandemic. is think, is even worse than the pandemic-— think, is even worse than the andemic. , , ., ., , pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's _ pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's been _ pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's been a _ pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's been a lot - pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's been a lot of- pandemic. is this an opportunity? because there's been a lot of talkj because there's been a lot of talk now in the post—pandemic world about building back greener. that's what borisjohnson was saying. maybe this is a real opportunity to talk about the oceans and for action on the oceans and away we haven't seen before. bill oceans and away we haven't seen before. �* , , ., oceans and away we haven't seen before. . , , ., ., , ., before. all eyes are on the g7 now, but then there _ before. all eyes are on the g7 now, but then there is _ before. all eyes are on the g7 now, but then there is this _ before. all eyes are on the g7 now, but then there is this big _ but then there is this big conference in glasgow coming up in a few months�* time where climate is the whole point of that meeting,
4:16 pm
with many other countries invited. in the eyes are on us in terms of what we have been doing in terms of bringing down our co2 emissions. we have done a really good job in the uk, because back in the 1990 we were so reliant on burning coal that that was producing huge amounts of that. it not talked about much but we almost half the amount of co2 in the uk because we have switched away from burning coal towards using wind farms out at sea. and that is a brilliant step in the right direction, and we can showcase that in the uk and say to countries like france orjapan that this is probably the way forwards. unfortunately, japan is burning huge amounts of coal at the moment because of the fukushima disaster. professor, marine ecologist, a renowned expert on oceans, thank you very much for talking to us. you may
4:17 pm
be interested to hear a little bit of news we�*ve had, that boris johnson has met the un secretary general and promised him continued british support for a strong united nations to tackle issues like climate change, the environment and also pandemic preparedness. that is come out of a meeting between boris johnson and the un secretary general. that is the end of this summit on day two. back to you in the studio. thank you, ben. let�*s get more now on the effect of continuing with covid restrictions in england. peter marks is the chief executive of rekom uk — britain�*s biggest operator of bars and nightclubs — with 42 venues in total. thank you for being with us on bbc news. when you are obviously disappointed, but surprised when you saw the headlines in this morning�*s newspapers? i saw the headlines in this morning's newspapers?_ saw the headlines in this morning's

4:19 pm
particularly nightclubs, isn�*t there a danger in the fact that doing that, if you then have a surge of cases, you�*d have a problem, staff of sick, and maybe even customers frightened to come back again because of the infection that had been experienced? isn�*t that a calculation even for you? i been experienced? isn't that a calculation even for you? i think ickin: calculation even for you? i think picking on _ calculation even for you? i think picking on nightclubs _ calculation even for you? i think picking on nightclubs has i calculation even for you? i think picking on nightclubs has been i calculation even for you? i think i picking on nightclubs has been crazy and annoying for me. there is no difference between a pub at midnight and a nightclub at midnight. let me be certain of that. i�*ve been in this business for two years. of course i�*ve got a heart. the last thing you want to do is be a problem. our big issue is that while we have premises that are usually vast and therefore aren�*t as unsafe as most people might consider, they appear to be last in the queue. above all else, wejust
4:20 pm
appear to be last in the queue. above all else, we just want proper financial help from the government. they have been covering about a quarter of my coasts. last year, the company i was leading went bust and rekom uk is actually now a danish owned business. we are very thankful for them. owned business. we are very thankful forthem. but owned business. we are very thankful for them. but the point is that that is what is happening in this sector. many people are actually going bust. if the financial help had have been there, we wouldn�*t have been so hard pressed and so disappointed in the place we are finding ourselves right now. we want to get back. our guests, they are young, they are healthy at the moment. right now, they are in the pubs, they are out at illegal parties in fields and warehouses, all of these things are going on. of course there is balance to this, i don�*t want to be crazy or glib, but as far as i�*m concerned, if we need to stay closed longer,
4:21 pm
please give us proper financial assistance so we are still here when the is right. assistance so we are still here when the is right-— the is right. thank you very much for bein: the is right. thank you very much for being with _ the is right. thank you very much for being with us _ the is right. thank you very much for being with us on _ the is right. thank you very much for being with us on bbc - the is right. thank you very much for being with us on bbc news. i in a few minutes the tea—time news bulletin with rita chakrabarti. but now it�*s time for sport, and for a full round up from the bbc sport centre, here�*s hugh ferris. good morning afternoon. wales have drawn their opening game of euro 2020 1—1 with switzerland. keiffer moore scored the goal that secured a point in baku. wales went behind early in the second half, breel embolo heading in from a corner — one of a number of chances switzerland created in the game, many of which were brilliantly saved by keeper danny ward. but wales equalised with just over 15 minutes to go. moore also scoring with a header. then switzerland thought they had a late winner with mario gavranovic�*s first touch turning it in, but — much to wales�* relief — it was ruled out for offside by the var. great personally but i think it�*s a good start for us. we would have
4:22 pm
liked to have one, but a draw from the first game to put us in a good position is everything for us. for a lot of that game, _ position is everything for us. for a lot of that game, switzerland i position is everything for us. for a lot of that game, switzerland were dominating. is that going to be a boost _ dominating. is that going to be a boost for— dominating. is that going to be a boost for you?— boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's never _ boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's never good _ boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's never good going _ boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's never good going a - boost for you? yeah, definitely. it's never good going a goal- boost for you? yeah, definitely. i it's never good going a goal down, it�*s never good going a goal down, but for us to get a goal back and eventually see the game out as such, it is a big positive for us. next, let�*s head to wembley where tomorrow it�*s england�*s turn to get their euros campaign started. it�*s a repeat of the 2018 world cup semi—final against croatia, and john watson is there to look ahead. of course, gareth southgate still has some big decisions to make with regards to selection. we know that dean and ship missed training today. harry maguire won�*t be fit to start until the latter stages of the group. and jordan henderson, he has missed a lot of domestic action. he

good afternoon. borisjohnson has told the bbc there are grounds for caution ahead of a final decision — on monday — about the lifting of all remaining covid restrictions in england. increasing concern about the spread of the delta variant which first emerged in india has led to speculation of a delay of up to four weeks. speaking at the g7 summit in cornwall, the prime minister said he wanted to make sure the road map out of lockdown couldn�*t be reversed. here�*s our political editor, laura kuenssberg.
4:26 pm
inside the fence, the prime minister and his counterparts want to work out how to move on from covid. it is still a clear threat outside the gates. the virus is growing again. the prime minister�*s hopes of lifting all limits on our lives in a week or burning and do the bright sun. today borisjohnson would not deny there will be a delay. can you level with me and confirm the restrictions are not going to be lifted on the 21st ofjune? what restrictions are not going to be lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can sa is lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can say is we _ lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can say is we are _ lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can say is we are looking - lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can say is we are looking at i lifted on the 21st ofjune? what i can say is we are looking at the i can say is we are looking at the data and continue to do that, we will say more on monday when the decision comes due. but i think what you can certainly take, laura, is that the road map was always cautious but irreversible, and in order to have an irreversible road map, you have to be cautious. if map, you have to be cautious. if your priority is not having to go back on any of it, then waiting, is

there, go to rome, it may be hard to get out of this group, but the travelling fans will take heart from that performance and hope their journey can keep going. the parents of a northamptonshire teenager, harry dunn — who died in a fatal crash involving the wife of a us intelligence officer — have welcomed an indication that she may face a virtual trial in the united states. after the crash in 2019, anne sacoolas flew to the us, claiming diplomatic immunity. harry dunn�*s parents described the crown prosecution service being cleared to engage with mrs sacoolas�* lawyers to determine next steps as a "huge development." for the second year running, the celebration of the queen�*s official birthday has taken place at windsor castle. the trooping the colour marks her majesty�*s 95th birthday. our royal correspondent nick witchell reports. in the quadrangle of windsor castle, where two months ago the military paraded for the funeral of the duke of edinburgh, today the celebration of a birthday. royal salute.
4:32 pm
present arms! it is the queen�*s birthday parade, marking this year her 95th birthday, and for the second year, because of the pandemic, the parade took place within the comparative privacy of windsor castle rather than in public on horse guards parade in central london. unlike last year�*s very reduced parade, this year, a colour was trooped, from the 2nd battalion of the scots guards. the standard was paraded through the ranks. there was intricate drill, closely observed by our monarch, who attended her first birthday with herfather, george vi. wistful moments, perhaps, with memories of the many years when she would always have been accompanied to this parade by her husband. but this is a monarch who is keeping busy. last night she was in cornwall at the g7 summit. tomorrow she will be hosting president biden at windsor.
4:33 pm
and all being well, next year, trooping the colour will be back on horse guards parade, at the start of the special platinum jubilee weekend when britain will be marking her 70 years on the throne. nicholas witchell, bbc news. some of the key figures in the uk�*s efforts to combat coronavirus have been recognised in the queen�*s birthday honours list as well as figures from the worlds of sport and entertainment. our arts correspondent, lizo mzimba, has the details. in the early days of covid, oxford university rapidly set up a huge trial to see which drug treatments worked. saving up to a million lives. the programme�*s leaders have been knighted. abs, lives. the programme's leaders have been knighted-— lives. the programme's leaders have been knighted. a year ago, our focus was urel been knighted. a year ago, our focus was purely on. _ been knighted. a year ago, our focus was purely on. can — been knighted. a year ago, our focus was purely on, can we _ been knighted. a year ago, our focus was purely on, can we find _ was purely on, can we find treatments for covid? that has been our focus for entire year. and this, i guess, it�*s surreal in the sense it is personal recognition for what has been a colossal team effort.

injustice. lizo mzimba, bbc news. there�*s more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we�*re back with the late news at 10.10pm. now on bbc one it�*s time for the news where you are. goodbye.
4:36 pm
you caught me with my mask on! we are being very careful here, even now. this is bbc news. let�*s get more now on our main story this hour — the g7 summit in cornwall. it�*s being held against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic — and borisjohnson has told the bbc that his government will continue to look at the data before making a decision to delay the next planned easing of coronavirus restrictions in england. what i can certainly say is that we are looking at the data continuously. we will be saying more on monday when the decision comes due. but i think what you can certainly take, laura, is that the road map was always
4:37 pm
cautious but irreversible, and in order to have an irreversible road map you�*ve got to be cautious, and we�*ll be spelling out exactly what we will be doing on monday. i�*m afraid you will have to wait until monday to get the full picture. but it sounds like you are basically saying to people they are going to have to be patient, because what you want to avoid is going ahead and then having to back out. correct. we want to have a cautious but irreversible road map. we�*ve made massive progress with the vaccination programme. it�*s done a huge amount of good. but you�*ve got to be cautious in order to deliver an irreversible road map. i'm hearing very clearly that there is going to be a delay of some description. wait to see what we say on monday. that is really what you're saying, though. if your priority is not having to go back on any of it, then waiting is, you're suggesting, the right thing to do. we will be setting out the decision on monday. but, look, of course you are right that you�*ve got to be cautious in order to deliver what we want to see, which is an irreversible road map, but we are looking
4:38 pm
at the data today. again you�*ve got hospitalisations up, you�*ve got cases up. there are grounds for caution. that doesn�*t mean that this country hasn�*t made enormous progress with vaccination. clearly what you�*ve got is a race between the vaccines and the virus, and the vaccines are going to win, it�*s just a matter of pace. do you regret allowing tens of thousands of people to travel between the uk and india, where the delta variant developed in the month of april? you must regret that now, surely? don�*t forget that we put india on the red list... very late on. on the red list on april the 23rd. at the end of the month. before the variant had even been identified as a variant under investigation, let alone identified as a variant of concern. and that variant is now widely seeded around the world. of course it�*s a matter of concern. but we�*ve got amongst the toughest
4:39 pm
border restrictions on movement into this country anywhere in the world. but, prime minister, that's not the case. pakistan was already on the list, bangladesh was already on the list, and you had in that month of april tens of thousands of people came backwards and forwards between india and the uk. pakistan had about 13 times as many variants of concern or variance variants of concern or variants of interest as india at that stage. and yet we put india on the red list on april the 23rd. which was days before it was even identified as a variant under investigation. how frustrated — or demoralised, perhaps — do you feel that covid has taken off again? well, i think what has changed fundamentally for the country is the scale and pace of the vaccination programme. and if you look at where we are and you look at the... yes, we�*re seeing more people going into hospital, but the composition of those people, those groups going into hospital has changed dramatically since the first
4:40 pm
wave and indeed the second wave. you are now seeing younger people because the older people, we think, are very largely — the older, more vulnerable people — have very largely acquired immunity. so what i�*ve always said is that we are looking at the extent to which those older groups have received enough protection from the vaccines. that�*s the data that we�*re looking at and we will be saying more on monday. one one of the things that pandemic has affected is football, the european tournament is now under way. do you condemn england fans who boo young players taking a stand against racism? i think fans should cheer for england, is my view. and, indeed, scotland. and wales. but do you condemn people... and all whole nations and teams they may be playing. but do you condemn some fans who have booed young football players who tried to take a stand against racism? ithink... i think fans should be cheering for england, that�*s what they should be doing. why won't you condemn that? well, i think it�*s totally wrong to boo the english team — i mean, you should cheerfor it. finally, you've seen european
4:41 pm
leaders this morning. there is a lot of tension over the northern ireland protocol. what did you say to them? any prospect of a compromise? or are you prepared to budge? i think, to be fair, there is quite a lot of misunderstanding around the eu about the situation in northern ireland and the balance of the good friday agreement, the peace process, and i wasjust in a gentle way getting across what that means. and i think that we�*ll have some pragmatic solutions. and if we don�*t, then i think that what our friends also understood is that it is the prime duty of the uk government to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom. and that�*s what we�*re going to do, and will do whatever it takes to ensure that. prime minister boris johnson

who live near liverpool, have got pre—wedding nerves. not about the prospect of getting married, but whether their event can go ahead later this month. our wedding day is on the 25th and we just don't know what on earth we're planning for. this has been some two years in the planning and with that has come a great amount of cost, people are committed to travel, to accommodation. depending on what is announced by the government, that could completely throw our plans into disarray, it means that we could lose thousands of pounds, it means that we'll have to completely reorganise everything. at the moment, 30 people are allowed to attend a wedding in england, not including those working at it. food and drink are permitted if people are sat down and everyone has to wear a face covering when they are moving about. dancing is discouraged, apart from the happy couple's first dance. this venue has hosted some so—called micro—weddings, but its director said the business�* survival depends on the current rules being relaxed.
4:56 pm
we make a loss on anything less than 70 guests at a wedding, plus also there's no bar takings associated and catering, so we are doing them because we just want our couples to be able to get married, but it is financially not viable for us. what will you do, then, if restrictions aren't lifted on the 21st ofjune? i think we will probably cry. it's destroying our business. we've obviously moved all our weddings from march last year to this year and they keep getting moved and moved and moved, so to postpone again would be quite difficult. suppliers, too, are on tenterhooks. some of this photographer's clients have already rearranged their celebrations four times. he's not sure what will happen if the 21st ofjune slips. probably the most likely impact is that people will suddenly go from a full day onlyjust to two or three hours and obviously we'll have to adjust our costs accordingly. weddings and corporate work normally make up two thirds of this florist�*s income.

they can't wait for certainty. we've got an awful lot i ofjuly weddings, an awful lot of august weddings, l some at the end ofjune. and it would just mean that people could plan and be i excited about their weddings. at the moment there| is always that holding back, that thought of, i "is this going to happen?" and the fact that everything has scaled down such a lot. - for thousands of couples and businesses, there's a lot riding on whether their big day can be as big as they hope. katy austin, bbc news. the uncertainty continues until monday when the premise that will make his announcement. think about tomorrow and what the weather holds for us. hello. an increasingly sticky story across the uk in the next 2a hours. a lot of fine weather to be had, a lot of sunshine — as we've been seeing from our weather watchers pictures so far today. but increasing humidity now in the next 2a hours is going to make it quite uncomfortable — particularly, i think, to the south of the uk
4:58 pm
right the way through sunday and into monday. it's all getting pulled in around this big azores high, which has been building through saturday, will be right across us on sunday and will bathe us all in very warm, humid air. through this evening and overnight, the humidity starting to pick up. we'll see a bit more cloud getting into northern ireland and western scotland. to the south, clear spells. overnight lows just about in double figures, perhaps in the odd spot in the low teens. sunday morning starts with some cloud across western scotland, which could bring some light rain — that will thin through the day but i think we're never going to see clear blue skies here. for eastern scotland, though, as we get into the sunshine, the temperatures shooting up to 25, 26 through the afternoon. we'll see the mid 20s, i think, in parts of northern ireland, widely across england and wales. close to 30 in the southeast of england. and it will feel very humid and oppressive. and obviously, the humidity is something for the cricketers to factor in as the second test

continues at edgbaston. and it will be warm even on into the afternoon and evening as we start to see the kick—off for the england—croatia match at wembley. overnight sunday into monday, a change — a subtle one, but a notable one. this weather front comes across the uk. not very much in the way of rainfall, but you can see a lighter colour moving across the map. behind it, lower humidity, cooler air across the northern half of the uk for monday. there's the weather front, it's just a little bit of cloud basically drifting south — no significant rainfall. doesn't bring fresher air into the south of england, either, until monday evening. so 30 degrees possible somewhere like london. elsewhere, seven, eight degrees down on sunday — it will just feel very different. but from midweek onwards, humidity starts to build again. and then from wednesday onwards, it also looks like things could start to go bang, with thunderstorms spreading from the south.

this is bbc news. the headlines at five... the lifting of england's remaining coronavirus restriction could be delayed by up to four weeks — as the prime minister says it's a race between the spike in cases and vaccines. you've got to be cautious it in order to deliver what we want to see, which is an irreversible road map, but we're looking at the data today and again you've got hospitalisations up, you've got cases up. after meeting the french president and other world leaders, the prime minister says there is a 'lot of misunderstanding' from the eu about northern ireland trade — as tensions over the issue hang over his talks with fellow european leaders. meanwhile, the us president's focus will be on forming an alliance
