6:00 am
# yes, sir, i can boogie...# the celebrations forjust getting here were tremendous — now they prepare to play their first match in a major tournament for 23 years, in front of a home crowd at hampden. good of a home crowd at hampden. morning, tennis will today good morning, tennis will start today at queen's club and then for a week. big names like andy moray will be taking part, not a cloud in the sky, and for many of us today, the forecast is dry with some sunshine, fresh in the north but still humid in the south—east. up for sale — barbara windsor�*s famous vanishing bikini — for anyone wanting to get their hands on a piece of cinema history. good morning. it's monday the 14th ofjune. our top story — the final easing of lockdown restrictions in england, which was due to take place next
6:01 am
monday, is almost certain to be delayed by up to four weeks. the prime minister will make an official announcement today, but several senior ministers have already signed off on a postponement, as cases of the new delta variant of coronavirus continue to rise. our business correspondent katy austin has the latest. the 21st ofjune had been billed by some as freedom day, the earliest possible date that all restrictions could be lifted. now the removal of all remaining rules is not expected to happen that day. for many businesses which remain closed, there's frustration and even anger at the idea of a four—week delay. it's thought most nightclubs have already been gearing up for a 21st ofjune reopening. it's going to be catastrophic to us. this will possibly hurt us more than the initial lockdown back in march last year. because you've already put money, have you, into opening from the 21st? we've been buying stock, booking staff, for the last four weeks,
6:02 am
getting the venue ready to open. it's notjust something where we can literally turn the keys and just open up in two weeks�* time. theatres can only operate with reduced numbers at the moment due to social distancing. one producer told the bbc that isn't sustainable. while masks are absolutely fine, and obviously temperature—taking as you come in is absolutely fine, and all the other deep cleaning and all the other safety measures are fine, the social distancing simply doesn't make the model viable. so they simply can't operate with that social distance situation. the trade body for restaurants, pubs, bars and hotels says 300,000 jobs could be at risk if restrictions aren't lifted next week. wedding businesses and couples are also waiting anxiously to see of rules, including a 30—person limit, will be relaxed. the british chambers of commerce says there needs to be adequate
6:03 am
support for businesses if a full reopening is delayed, something we should know for sure later today. katy austin, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now from st ives, where the prime minister was hosting the g7 summit over the weekend. adam, borisjohnson�*s attention now turn to this domestic matter, and it's not the news he was hoping to give. after the high of a very successful g7 summit here and sometimes with the red arrows comedy barbecue on the red arrows comedy barbecue on the beach with the other leaders, the beach with the other leaders, the 1 the beach with the other leaders, the1 billion doses the beach with the other leaders, the 1 billion doses of covid vaccines been donated from rich countries to poorer countries, you then the lower of the feminist rant to do a downing street news conference later this afternoon, where people will inevitably be disappointed by this month long delay to the last stage of the lifting of the lockdown in england. there will be a few things to watch
6:04 am
out for when the prime minister speaks this afternoon. what is the actual decision? is it a delay to the date and the reopening will go ahead anyway, or a delay to the decision, which raises the prospect of a further delay in the future? is there also any good news to sweeten there also any good news to sweeten the medicine, any minor restrictions to make things seem a little bit less disappointing? lots of speculation today that you could have bigger weddings outside, bigger mass gatherings. also, this will buy at the vaccination programme and more time, it is growing very quickly and the number of people who have had their second doses going up very quickly, too. this means millions more will have that extra level of protection. of course, though, that means in a month's time, the number of cases and hospitalisations and deaths have not gone up via very much, the number of people with their second dose has gone up by a lot, then it will be much harderfor the gone up by a lot, then it will be much harder for the government to justify keeping these restrictions in place for any longer, and they
6:05 am
will come under a huge amount of pressure from businesses and also a lot of conservative mps who are very worried about this delay.— worried about this delay. thanks very much _ worried about this delay. thanks very much indeed. _ worried about this delay. thanks very much indeed. we _ worried about this delay. thanks very much indeed. we expect i worried about this delay. thanks | very much indeed. we expect the prime minister's announcement to be late afternoon, early evening. we will be back with adam a little bit later. and at 7.30 this morning, we'll bejoined by health and social care minister edward argar. scotland face the czech republic in their first euro 2020 match today, as the tartan army experiences the finals of a major tournament for the first time in 23 years. 12,000 spectators will be allowed into hampden park, and a further 6,000 can watch from the glasgow fan park. jane dougall has been soaking up the atmosphere. yes sir, i can boogie. it became scotland's euros anthem when the 1977 classic was sung in the dressing room after the men's team qualified for their first major tournament in 23 years.
6:06 am
# yes sir, i can boogie # i can boogie... 0n the day of their opening match, there is excitement amongst the next generation. many scottish schoolchildren have been given permission to watch at 2.00 from their classrooms. scottish people have missed out on scotland qualifying for major tournaments, and now we're back, so it's going to be a first for a lot of people. it's something that we believe that where we belong, and it's something we believe that this country kind of needs it, and i think you can feel everyone building. ijust hope that we can do our country proud. fan zones have been set up for those working from home. scotland has just missed out so many times, the bridesmaid but never the bride. happy days! could this squad playing at hampden be a match made in heaven? when the squad walks out onto this lush green pitch
6:07 am
in the national stadium, they will be bolstered by the voices of 12,000 members of the tartan army. watching a little bit of history unfold, and there might be some singing from them, too. yes sir, i can boogie. the aim is notjust to beat the czech republic today, but to get through the group stages for the first time in scotland's in scotland's history, and the whole squad singing from the same hymn sheet. come on, scotland. jane dougall, bbc news, hampden. denmark's team doctor has confirmed that christian eriksen had a heart attack during the match against finland on saturday and that — in his words — "he was gone." the former tottenham star was resuscitated and is now recovering in hospital. nick beake reports from copenhagen. the heartfelt messages were to get well soon. a show of strength for christian eriksen, who was awake, even asking about his team—mates. everyone here at this euro 2020 fan zone knew it
6:08 am
could have been so different. hearing that he is in good shape and that he actually had some conversation with the team is fantastic. that is the only thing that matters to us — christian's health. yeah, the football is secondary today. 100%. that sense of relief has been shared by football fans the world over. that's because today we got confirmation, if it were needed, ofjust how serious the situation was. earlier, we asked denmark's team doctor how close they were to losing christian eriksen. yeah. or should i say, he was gone. and we did cardiac resuscitation. and it was a cardiac arrest. how close were we? i don't know. we got him back. and the sight of christian eriksen conscious as he left the pitch gave hope to all. but his team—mates are being offered psychological support. and the denmark head coach says it was wrong to ask the players
6:09 am
to resume the match. eriksen is still being monitored at denmark's leading heart unit, where doctors have yet to work out why he collapsed. a tournament already delayed by the pandemic goes on, with football and life put in perspective. nick beake, bbc news, copenhagan. meanwhile, a football club in east sussex has made an appeal after two people were caught on cctv vandalising its life—saving heart defibrillator. the footage — which was posted 2a hours after christian eriksen�*s collapse — has been viewed more than 700,000 times on twitter. buxted fc said the incident, which occurred in the early hours yesterday, has put lives at risk. i feel absolutely disgusted that people would do something like this to a bit of equipment that saves someone's life. we all know how important defibrillators are.
6:10 am
it proved yesterday to a professional player. that saved his life yesterday. now, the club hasn't got one until we get a replacement, so lives are at risk. because you never know what's going to happen. the us president has been talking about his meeting with the queen at windsor castle yesterday. joe biden and the first lady enjoyed afternoon tea with the queen, after a greeting from a guard of honour. president biden described the queen as "gracious." a sighting of a long—snouted sea horse off the devon coast has been described as a "super, super rare" occurrence. otherwise known as the spiny sea horse, it was spotted in seagrass by marine biologists from the ocean conservation trust.
6:11 am
the once—common species has been in sharp decline in recent years, with this the first recorded sighting by the conservationist group for more than seven years. wimbledon starts at the end of the month, and you can whet your appetite at queen's this week. carol is there with the weather. any rain stopping play today, carol? the warmest day of the year so far for wales and northern ireland yesterday. here at queen's club this morning, it is glorious, the sun is out, not a cloud in the sky, and already it is pretty warm, and as you say, the tennis starts here today, it runs all week, and it will
6:12 am
be pretty exciting. the murray brothers, andy and jamie, are both playing here. for today, the forecast is a mostly dry one, sunny spells and fresher in the north than yesterday, but still hot and humid in the south—eastern corner. a weather front has been coming in through the course of the night and slipping southwards, ringing something with it, too. none of that pretty heavy across south—west scotland, now on the border with a few shouts ahead of it around cumbria, lancashire, and we also have some showers across the north and west of scotland through the day. there will also be some brisk winds here, pretty gusty winds. south of that, the cloud continues to move south throughout the day, but a lot of fine and dry weather, temperatures up to about 26 to 29 celsius in the far south—east. fresher behind that weather front, where we are looking at the high teens to the low 20s. as we go through evening and overnight variable amounts of cloud again
6:13 am
around, mainly dry, fresherfor most of us to sleep in, except in the south—east where it will still be quite humid. temperature range roughly between 11 and 15 celsius. for tomorrow, a lot of dry weather to start the day. again, variable amounts of cloud, but we have a weather front coming in from the west which will bring in some rain across western scotland and also western parts of northern ireland as western parts of northern ireland as we go through the day. temperatures in the south—east are down slightly tomorrow, top temperature likely to be around 26, but absolutely everywhere else. but as we head into wednesday evening, the met office has a weather warning out for some thunderstorms, so it looks like it could all end in a bang across parts of england and wales. we have a bit of an issue with the graphics, but we will have them back for your next broadcast. sun
6:14 am
everywhere, we don't need graphics for that, everywhere, we don't need graphics forthat, do everywhere, we don't need graphics for that, do we? as we've been hearing, the prime minister is expected to announce a delay to the lifting of most covid restrictions in england from next week. nina's in halifax to see how that news will go down with business owners. they've been waiting for an indication from the prime minister, haven't they? and it looks like this is what is going to happen, nina. it has not come as a huge surprise. just have a look where i am this morning, you would be forgiven for thinking i have ignored covid restrictions and have nipped off to italy. but no, i am restrictions and have nipped off to italy. but no, iam in restrictions and have nipped off to italy. but no, i am in halifax in west yorkshire, and this is the piece whole, so—called because in the i770s, we resist to come and display the pieces of cloth. now, in 2021, this place is notjust
6:15 am
survived, this place was thriving before the pandemic. it is also a huge concert venue, they can get 6000 people in here. the kaiser chiefs were due to play here in a few weeks, so obviously huge applications. you might be thinking, what difference does a few weeks make after all of this time? well, i will tell you the difference. think about nightclubs, first of all, they have been closed for 15 months, an extension means that nine out of ten of them, 90%, fear they will have to close because of the extended limitations. festival season should be upon us, an extension of restrictions by four weeks, it is estimated 5000 concerts will have to be cancelled. think about all of the revenue and jobs around that. and in terms of going out, you might have been enjoying over the weekend it makes meal out with some friends and thinking things arejust makes meal out with some friends and thinking things are just fine, they are not for hospitality venues. they still have big restrictions. a four

6:19 am
such a lovely place, we're looking forward to seeing more that later. let's take a look at some of today's front pages. many, of course, lead with the news that the current covid restrictions in england are set to be extended beyond the 21st ofjune. the daily mail says the re—opening date will be pushed back until the 19th ofjuly, to the fury of business leaders and conservative mps. the guardian reports the latest modelling of the now dominant delta covid variant. it suggests that, even with the swift deployment of vaccines, the uk will now face a third wave of infections, mostly among the young who are yet to receive theirjabs. the i reports that the uk will be able to alter current covid vaccines "within weeks" to be more effective against variant strains. it quotes a lead scientist on the "vaccine library" project. and the daily record focuses on scotland's euro 2020 opener against the czech republic.
6:20 am
it says manager steve clarke has warned his players not to lose focus. a quick look at the inside pages. amazon ownerjeff bezos is going into space, which anytime time and we don't know quite what we can go for holidays, seems slightly extravagant. a piece here in the mail says he is going for 11 minutes to an altitude of 62 miles, and somebody has paid £20 million to be in that spaceship with him. £20 million for 11 minutes. as expensive holidays go, that is expensive. you would have — holidays go, that is expensive. you would have to _ holidays go, that is expensive. w'm. would have to have won the euro millions a few times over. we don't know who this _ millions a few times over. we don't know who this mystery _ millions a few times over. we don't know who this mystery person - millions a few times over. we don't know who this mystery person is, l millions a few times over. we don't l know who this mystery person is, but amazing. know who this mystery person is, but amazinu. , , . , ., amazing. this is an interesting one about a clock _ amazing. this is an interesting one about a clock chiming. _

6:23 am
as the prime minister of israel came to an end yesterday, amid chaotic scenes in the country's parliament. his government has been replaced by an unprecedented coalition, led by a right—wing nationalist. 0ur middle east correspondent yolande knell reports. israel always has coalition governments, but it's never had one as wide—ranging as this. headed by a right—wing religious jew, naftali bennett, and yair lapid, a secular centrist, with an arab israeli islamist party joining in an historic first. winning just seven of 120 parliamentary seats in the last election, few expected naftali bennett to become prime minister. the former special forces soldier turned high—tech multimillionaire began in politics as benjamin netanyahu's chief of staff. and laterjoined him in government
6:24 am
as defence minister. he is a staunch nationalist, committed to israeli settlements and opposed to the creation of a palestinian state. but, for the sake of unity, he says now is to compromise. translation: no one will be asked to give up their ideology _ but everyone will have to postpone the realisation of some of their dreams. before he became a politician, yair lapid used to interview israel's leaders. he was a well—known tv news anchor. until he turned to politics a decade ago at a time when social and economic struggles were bringing out middle—class israelis for mass street protests. after a term as finance minister, alongside benjamin netanyahu, he spent years in opposition. that was to change last month, when the president gave him the mandate to form a new government after the long—time pm
6:25 am
was unable to do so. his party had second most votes mr netanyahu's. traditional palestinian dancing is how the united arab list celebrated its four seats on election night. it is socially conservative in its outlook, headed by a dentist, mansour abbas. unlike other arab leaders, he was willing to join even a purely right—wing israeli government. he says he will work for the arab minority that makes up a fifth of the population. this new coalition is really a patchwork of small and medium—sized parties that have little in common idea logically. they include those on the left and former right—wing allies of benjamin netanyahu. what really stitches them together is the desire for change. the new government will face a formidable opposition leader looking to exploit their divisions. with the thinnest possible majority, it will stick to topics it can agree on, like helping the post—covid economic recovery.
6:26 am
but that won't be easy after last month's mob violence in mixed arab and jewish cities, and as tensions continue to simmer in jerusalem. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. you're watching breakfast. still to come on today's programme — and fling, and fling, and fling! it was an itsy—bitsy, teeny—weeny, flimsily—secured bikini. the famous two—piece worn by barbara windsor in carry on camping is going up for auction, and we'rejust bursting to tell you all about it in around 20 minutes.
6:27 am
i expect some of you may remember that, we will be talking about it a bit later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. it's good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. today marks four years since the grenfell tower fire that killed 72 people. since the grenfell tower fire survivor nabil choucair lived on the 22nd floor and lost six members of his family. he's been telling bbc london he feels there hasn't been justice for those who died. in the last four years, i think my biggest problem is the fact that there has been no prosecution. you know, prosecution should have been a right. if anyone does anything wrong, you get taken into court and punished. why have these people still out there now not been punished? the law is so relaxed, as if no one has done nothing. they are still allowed to get on with their daily lives.
6:28 am
it is unacceptable. four years on, there are still londoners living in buildings with dangerous cladding. there are calls for the remediation work to be sped up. the government says billion of pounds has been set aside for it. we now have 5.1 billion set aside to help with the remediation of all types of unsafe cladding and that is an unprecedented sum of money. we are making progress, great progress with the high—rises with the same cladding as grenfell. 95% of the buildings with that same cladding have been remediated, or works on site to carry out the remediation. with the final lifting of lockdown restrictions expected to be delayed by a month to the 19th ofjuly, the mayor of london is calling on the government to do more to support the capital's economy. sadiq khan says many businesses are on the cusp of closing down for ever. the prime minister is expected to confirm the delay later today. many businesses, particularly the pubs, the bars, the restaurants, our theatres,
6:29 am
need increased footfall. they can't survive under the current guidelines. so if the government is going to extend the delay, they've got to support these businesses. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there's a good service on the tubes this morning. for road updates tune in to bbc radio london. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it felt very warm yesterday. lots of blue sky and sunshine around. temperatures hit 26.3 celsius in east malling in kent, and we'll see something similar again today. it is a mild start to the morning. temperatures are already in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine around, with a bit more patchy cloud perhaps as we head through the afternoon. temperatures are likely to peak around 26—27 celsius. always a bit cooler towards the coast. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. any patchy cloud is likely to fade away and we will see long, clear spells.
6:30 am
temperatures again down to the mid—teens in celsius. it will feel quite warm, muggy, uncomfortable for sleeping, maybe. tomorrow, warm, dry and sunny yet again. but we will see changes by the time we get to wednesday — perhaps some heavy, thundery downpours through the evening. there is a met office weather warning in place. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in half an hour. now though it's back to louise and jon. bye—bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning. most of england's coronavirus restrictions look set to last another four weeks. we'll bring you reaction from all quarters, including our regular health experts chris smith and professor linda bauld. we're all hoping denmark's christian eriksen makes a full recovery after he suffered a cardiac arrest during a euro 2020 match on saturday. after eight, we'll be speaking the ex—bolton
6:31 am
midfielder fabrice muamba, who survived a similar scare nine years ago. and we'll be catching up with some friends of the late tv presenter caroline flack, including the pop star 0lly murs. they've just climbed 2a peaks in 2a hours in caroline's memory and they've gotjust enough energy left to tell us how it went. as we've been hearing this morning, it's understood the prime minister will today announce a four—week delay in lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england beyond june 21st. but where do things stand at the moment for each of the four uk nations? in england, the rule of six still applies to groups meeting indoors. that's up to six people from a maximum of two households. 0utdoors, it's a maximum of 30 people. and it's the same limit for weddings and funerals. bars, restaurants and pubs can
6:32 am
serve customers indoors, but with limits on capacity to allow for social distancing, and nightclubs can't open at all. in scotland, all areas are due to move to level zero on the 28th ofjune — that's two weeks today — meaning bigger groups can gather in caf s, pubs and restaurants, though social distancing remains. limits on indoor gatherings in northern ireland are due to be relaxed on the 21stjune. and that's also the date when the current rules in wales will be reviewed. graham satchell has been out to gauge the mood and see if we're ready to live with restrictions for a few weeks longer. # just close your eyes, | forget your day—to—day. # don't try to find...#. as a dj, the number—one feeling for me is being on stage, performing to thousands of people at a time. festivals, clubs, concerts,
6:33 am
large—scale events. i'm hoping that soon we will be able to enjoy the nightlife and going out to clubs and festivals. kishan bodalia can't wait for restrictions in england to be lifted, for full freedom to return. but kishan wears two hats. he is also a junior doctor working in intensive care. the patients we have been seeing have been the most unwell in the hospital. and it is not a situation that i want to be faced with a game, i want to be faced with again, or any of my colleagues across the nhs want to be faced with again. so we are happy to wait to the point where it is safe for us to lift those restrictions. # jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. - it feels like time has stood still at kitty 0'hanlon's, an irish pub in plymouth. we decorated for christmas and, unfortunately, our customers never got chance to see it.
6:34 am
so, on father's day, we are going to do a christmas dinner injune, which is a bit strange. revenue here is down 80% and they are desperate to get back to normal. but, again, there are finely balanced competing arguments. if it was my business hat that was on, i would think great, full restrictions lifted, fantastic, great, we can fill our pub and start, hopefully, getting some of the revenue back that we lost. but my heart rules my business head. by waiting another two, three, four weeks, whatever the government decide, i think that can only benefit us and the whole economy. so it would mean, i don't know, five, six million more vaccinations into people. surely that is going to make it saferfor us. i'll admit that i am somebody who is on the fence about this. so from a health perspective, i have always been shielded. i have been really cautious about what i've been doing as someone living with cancer. at the same time, i also want to be living, because life is short and time is precious.
6:35 am
deborahjames, presenter of you, me and the big c podcast is worried. if cases do continue to rise and more people end up in hospital, what will that do to the nhs, already struggling with a huge backlog? my greatest fear is actually not being able to access treatment that might save my life. so for me, whatever decision is made, ijust want to ensure that we are never back at the place where the nhs is overrun and we can't cope. and we can't have that. for me, that can't happen again. hyde park in central london and the question — to lift restrictions in england or not? hm. i did get double—vaxxed and the reason being i want to be free. i want to swim in that serpentine pond, which is not open. you want to shake strangers' hands again? yes. you want to hug people? absolutely, absolutely.
6:36 am
i think i definitely feel nervous now that you can see cases going up a little bit. and i wouldn't really mind waiting a little bit longer. i'm the opposite, really. i think what is the point? is it going to achieve anything? are we going to go backwards and forwards opening and shutting down, whatever? no, let's open up. i want to open up on the 215t, but i want to do it safely, - because i don't want to do it and then have to go back. i there are compelling arguments on both sides of this question question and it's looking, for england, like a further delay. graham satchell, bbc news. let's get a medical view on this — and all the latest coronavirus news — from one of our regular breakfast gps. dr nighat arif is in buckinghamshire. the likelihood is the lifting of restrictions will be delayed. what
6:37 am
restrictions will be delayed. what are our restrictions will be delayed. what are your thoughts? _ are your thoughts? i will come on every week and have always said if we come out of lockdown we have to come out safely. the idea of the 21st ofjune would be freedom day when there were no restrictions on face coverings, physical distancing, and we would go back to how it was, almost a picture that was being painted was how it was in 2019, was unrealistic from the start. we as health care professionals knew that. the delta virus, the most dominant in the uk, we know it has gone exponentially above the alpha variant and we are seeing cases doubling week on week. a month of data has shown this virus is doubling. this means what we need to do, although case numbers are rising, those numbers will mean hospitalisations. and the report pointed out one key thing, the argument i get as a doctor, it is
6:38 am
only case numbers, the hospitals are not overwhelmed. i tell you that general practice in hospitals, we are overwhelmed because we are still managing the backlog which means routine medical care you would expect for cancer treatment, hip replacement, are being delayed. patients need management and what they do is they come back into primary care to gps like us. we are really struggling at the minute which means access for patients is harder. we have had patients on social media, expressing how difficult it is to see the gp. if we can ease out slowly, it would be better because it means we will look at the pressure, the flu season is not far away. august is when we plan for flu season so the flu vaccination will take precedent as well. it is sensible the government
6:39 am
is looking at this seriously and taking into account the doubling of the delta variant needs to be approached in a cautious way. we have the vaccination programme and i have the vaccination programme and i have said many times it is going fantastically and it is brilliant. it is but vaccination, you need two doses and not everybody has had to doses, against the delta variant. you definitely need two vaccines to get the coverage you need. and still it is only 80% coverage if you have to macro doses of the pfizer vaccine against the delta variant. which means you have 20% of no coverage and you can end up getting the virus. from data we see this variant is more contagious and prevalent in the younger population who we have not had a chance to fully vaccinate yet. we need to safeguard them because of the spread happens, then the elderly population will be
6:40 am
affected again. and the argument of do we need booster vaccines in the future? ., .., do we need booster vaccines in the future? ., _, . do we need booster vaccines in the future? ., .., . ., future? you covered so much in that. i want to future? you covered so much in that. i want to ask — future? you covered so much in that. i want to ask you _ future? you covered so much in that. i want to ask you briefly. _ future? you covered so much in that. i want to ask you briefly. i _ future? you covered so much in that. i want to ask you briefly. i think - i want to ask you briefly. i think you were watching the football match when christian eriksen collapsed. it was shocking. and a lot of key messages to come out of it. yes. i ut out a messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet — messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet on _ messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet on how _ messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet on how to - messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet on how to do - messages to come out of it. yes. i put out a tweet on how to do cpr. | messages to come out of it. yes. i i put out a tweet on how to do cpr. we know with christian eriksen he had a cardiac event. it was shocking because i was watching with my ten—year—old son. denmark is in the sweepstake, we did a family sweepstakes so we watched it not expecting the events that unfolded and he ended up having cpr. it is a good point to say that life is short. tell your loved ones how you feel and how you are doing and tell them we love them because life isn't
6:41 am
light switch. i have done cpr out of hospital, in hospitals, overthe years i have been a doctor, but it still never prepares you. it is really shocking. a quick thing, learn how to chest compressions. i put a tweet out. lock your fingers like this. use the palm of your hand, in the middle of the chest, press at the rate of 100, 120, make sure you go to inches deep and allow the chest to recoil again and continuously doing that and if you call 999 and if you have a defibrillator anywhere you are, ask someone to get one and the paramedic on the phone will talk you through how to use the defibrillator which is life—saving and we know that is what happened with christian eriksen. he got the treatment and cpr and basic life support straightaway. it felt so slow. i was thinking,
6:42 am
start chest compressions! it was so distressing. i know you want to get me off but i cannot believe you are going. who will i have my cup of tea with now? i have cpr i am trying to teach everybody now. and trying to cope with the loss.— cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup _ cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup of _ cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup of tea _ cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup of tea in _ cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup of tea in real- cope with the loss. maybe we can have a cup of tea in real life. - have a cup of tea in real life. thank you so much. i have loved it. we will talk again, don't worry. the football continues. a huge day in scotland today. sally is looking ahead. a huge day. look at this picture. from the olden days. 23 years ago, the scotland team, the last time we saw a scotland team in a major tournament, so you can only imagine the excitement this morning. it's a momentous day
6:43 am
in scottish sporting history. it's 23 years since the scotland men's team last played in a major tournament but today the wait is over for the tartan army. they'll play the czech republic this afternoon and john watson is at hampden park. a big day for them all. good morning- — a big day for them all. good morning. you _ a big day for them all. good morning. you can _ a big day for them all. good morning. you can only - a big day for them all. good l morning. you can only wonder a big day for them all. (limo. morning. you can only wonder how the scotland players are feeling. they have grown up with family members telling them how special it is to see scotland play in a major tournament but many players thought the day would never come. they hoped it would but might have believed it might not have. andy robertson, scotland captain, four years old when scotland played at the last world cup in france in 1998. he watched the match as a youngster at his uncle and auntie's house and now he has the opportunity to lead his country out here at the home of scottish football. with so much excitement, you need a cool head and you have that with steve clarke at the helm, who is trying to keep the
6:44 am
players' feet on the ground. the tartan army can get excited, they can get carried away, they can get overexcited for us. we have to be excited to be involved in the tournament, the first time in a long time, but we have to keep an— emotional control so that when we do get to the match, we play to our full potential. i believe if we do that, we can get a good result. there is reason to feel optimistic. they beat the czech republic who they play today. home and away last year. they are unbeaten here in six matches and you get the feeling perhaps something is building. steve clarke, the players will be desperate to create new memories, because the scotland fans have waited a long time for this day. absolutely. great to see you. a momentous day.
6:45 am
england got their euro 2020 off to a winning start against croatia at wembley. just under 18,500 fans created a great atmosphere, and raheem sterling scored the only goal. natalie pirks was watching. unwanted records broken and english hopes raised. england have started with a bang. fears of more boos as players took the knee vanished swiftly as dissent was drowned out with applause. and england gave them plenty to cheer about as phil foden almost got the party started early. hits the post! some fans had criticised gareth southgate's team. but kalvin phillips was bossing midfield and keeping croatia's keeper busy. that's fired back into the crowd by kalvin phillips. england inevitably slowed in the sun, but from the man who once lived in the shadow of wembley, a moment of second—half brilliance was brewing.
6:46 am
that will do nicely! and mbe on friday, his first major tournament goal on sunday. a weekend to remember for raheem. england had a great chance to double their lead just minutes later, but harry kane hurt himself in the process. near the end, jude bellingham came on to become the youngest player to ever appear at a european championships. and, at the final whistle, it was clear. trust in youth had given fans joy in the sun. this is a tough group. there are different sorts of challenges. scotland and the czechs are good sides, so we are pleased with today. it's a good start. you want a good start because it takes some of the tension out of the preparation for the next game. this was a story of an untested defence looking assured in their roles. one of the youngest squads in the tournament looking very composed, indeed. and an english record to boot. no wonder this lot are happy. amazing. national anthem. to see a team out there at your own like country, it's insane.
6:47 am
it's the best feeling in the world. a hot day, got all the fans with us, you know what i mean? _ can't be stopped. when we get going, i we can't be stopped. yeah, so we've just got - to keep the momentum going. got to keep the mood going, as well. a brilliant start that put smiles on faces, with scotland up next. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. meanwhile, wales' next game is against turkey in baku in two days' time. they drew their opener one—all against switzerland. but on wednesday, the turks will have the majority of the support in a 30,000—plus crowd. midfielderjoe morrell says that they'll have to treat it as an away game, score the first goal and hope to keep the fans quiet. could novak djokovic win all four majors this year? he says he's put himself in a good position after adding the french open to the aussie open he won injanuary. it wasn't easy though — he went two sets down against stefanos tsitsipas, but clawed his way back to a 19th grand slam title — just one behind roger federer and rafa nadal.

6:51 am
southwards. it has produced quite a bit of rain for some. it will weaken today. more or less a band of cloud by the end of the day. behind it brisk wind in northern scotland with showers. temperatures ranging from 12-29. so showers. temperatures ranging from 12—29. so is still close in the south—east. 0vernight, the weather front move south. mainly a band of cloud. a dry night for most and fresher in the north but humid in the south—east. tomorrow, a lot of dry weather to start. still some cloud around and a lot of sunshine. but a weather front coming in across scotland and parts of northern ireland bringing rain. temperatures up ireland bringing rain. temperatures up for most competitive day but down in the south—east. wednesday, the weather front will slowly move
6:52 am
southwards. just how far south it gets will impact the temperature. under the cloud it will not be as hot but we will have rising humidity in the south—east which means the temperatures will be back up. we could see a high of 29. not so for parts of scotland and northern ireland. later on wednesday, into thursday and friday, we could have heavy, thundery downpours. the met office has a weather warning to this effect. the weather is changing so enjoy it while you have it. we will. thanks. it was the original wardrobe malfunction and one of the most celebrated — and replayed — moments in british cinema. now, barbara windsor�*s itsy—bitsy, teeny—weeny, always—pinging—off bikini from carry on camping is being sold at auction. it's expected to attract a lot of interest — although we should say that the value of carry on memorabilia can go up
6:53 am
as well as down. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. really let's see those chests come out. and fling. it's one of the most famous moments in british comedy history. carry on camping was the highest—grossing film of 1969 at the uk box office. and now the very bikini that pinged off barbara windsor is up for auction. if you look closely, you can see the little hole left over and the fishing twine from where they attached the hook into the middle of her bra. to get it off. that's movie history. and there's a story as to how it survived. the bikini was rescued from the rubbish pile in the 1990s when the costume company who had provided the costumes
6:54 am
for the film carry on camping were having a stock clear—out. and it had been tossed aside and was due to be thrown out with all the unwanted stock. so the person who is selling the bikini actually worked for the costume company and they instantly recognised the bikini. and she was told she could take anything that was due to be thrown out in the skip and this is what she saved. and it has been kept in a box safely for all of these years. barbara windsor used to say that the scene would follow her to the end. and it did, with this photo appearing on the order of service at her funeral. here are her memories of how filming did indeed feature the use of a fishing rod. and up we go and then he had to pull it, you see. of course, it didn't come off. there was the mud. i went right down into the mud. and these were the very words, i swear to god, "pick her up, rub her down, get the mud off,
6:55 am
we have to go again." 0ne eyewitness from that day is the actorjulian holloway, who played jim tanner in the film. we thought we would introduce you to something you may remember. 0k. recognise this? oh, yes. i didn't wear it personally, but i do recognise it. tell us your memories of actually that exact moment. there's a shot of me opening my tent and looking out at the wonderment before me, which was not wonderment at all. it was appalling, because the conditions were just dire. i mean, all the things that you've heard countless people saying about spraying the mud are green, all completely true. it was vile. we had every condition under the sun, except sun. if you are making a film about a summer holiday, you don't start shooting in october in england. but he does have nothing
6:56 am
but praise for babs. terribly sorry. here, let me. she was always full of fun, loved a giggle and had absolutely no side to her whatever. she was terrific. dame barbara windsor died from alzheimer's last december. all the money raised by the bikini auction will go to the alzheimer's society. so when it starts, it's hoped people will carry on bidding. colin paterson, bbc news. he had to end with that. carry on bidding. saved from the skip. it could have been lost for ever. now it is saved for grateful nation. time for the news where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tolu adeoye. today marks four years since the grenfell tower fire that killed 72 people. survivor nabil choucair lived on the 22nd floor and lost six members of his family.
6:57 am
he's been telling bbc london he feels there hasn't been justice for those who died. in the last four years, i think my biggest problem is the fact that there has been no prosecution. you know, prosecution should have been a right. if anyone does anything wrong, you get taken into court and punished. why have these people still out there now not been punished? four years on, there are still londoners living in buildings with dangerous cladding. there are calls for the remediation work to be sped up. the government says billion of pounds has been set aside for it. we are making progress, great progress with the high—rises with the same cladding as grenfell. 95% of the buildings with that same cladding have been remediated, or works on site to carry out the remediation. with the final lifting of lockdown restrictions expected to be delayed by a month to the 19th ofjuly,
6:58 am
the mayor of london is calling on the government to do more to support the capital's economy. sadiq khan says many businesses are on the cusp of closing down for ever. the prime minister is expected to confirm the delay later today. many businesses, particularly the pubs, the bars, the restaurants, our theatres, need increased footfall. they can't survive under the current guidelines. so if the government is going to extend the delay, they've got to support these businesses. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. service is suspended on southeastern and thameslink in both directions between london bridge and dartford via charlton because of an obstruction on the line at greenwich. turning to the roads, and there's the usual delays building up on the highway from shadwell towards tower bridge. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it felt very warm yesterday. lots of blue sky and sunshine around. temperatures hit 26.3 celsius
6:59 am
in east malling in kent, and we'll see something similar again today. it is a mild start to the morning. temperatures are already in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine around, with a bit more patchy cloud perhaps as we head through the afternoon. temperatures are likely to peak around 26—27 celsius. always a bit cooler towards the coast. through this evening and overnight, we do the whole thing all over again. any patchy cloud is likely to fade away and we will see long, clear spells. temperatures again down to the mid—teens in celsius. tomorrow, warm, dry and sunny yet again. but we will see changes by the time we get to wednesday — perhaps some heavy, thundery downpours through the evening. there is a met office weather warning in place. i'm back with the latest from bbc london in half an hour. now, though, it's back to louise and jon. bye—bye for now.
7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today — a delay of four weeks in lifting lockdown restrictions in england is ageed by ministers. details of the decision are expected to be announced by the prime minister later. scotland expects. # yes sir, i can boogie...# the celebrations forjust getting here were tremendous. now they prepare to play theirfirst match in a major tournament for 23 years in front
7:01 am
of a home crown at hampden. it's confirmed denmark's christian eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during the euro 2020 match against finland on saturday. an update from the club is due this morning. after a week in the spotlight as host county for the g7, cornwall sets its sights on a new title. we'll have the details. good morning from queen's club in west london, where the sun is beating down. the men's tournament starts this week, running all the way through until sunday. some big names taking part, and the weather is set fair for most of us until we get to wednesday evening when we expect some thunderstorms. all the details in about ten minutes. good morning. it's monday the 14th ofjune. our top story — the final easing of lockdown restrictions in england —
7:02 am
which was due to take place next monday — is almost certain to be delayed by up to four weeks. the prime minister will make an official announcement today, but several senior ministers have already signed off on a postponement, as cases of the new delta variant of coronavirus continue to rise. our business correspondent katy austin has the latest. the 21st ofjune had been billed by some as freedom day, the earliest possible date that all restrictions could be lifted. now the removal of all remaining rules is not expected to happen that day. for many businesses which remain closed, there's frustration and even anger at the idea of a four—week delay. it's thought most nightclubs have already been gearing up for a 21st ofjune reopening. it's going to be catastrophic to us. this will possibly hurt us more than the initial lockdown back in march last year. because you've already put money, have you,
7:03 am
into opening from the 21st? we've been buying stock, booking staff, for the last four weeks, we've had people in getting the venue ready to open. it's notjust something where we can literally turn the keys and just open up in two weeks' time. theatres can only operate with reduced numbers at the moment due to social distancing. 0ne producer told the bbc that isn't sustainable. while masks are absolutely fine, and obviously temperature—taking as you come in is absolutely fine, and all the other deep cleaning and all the other safety measures are fine, the social distancing simply doesn't make the model viable. so they simply can't operate with that socially distanced situation. the trade body for restaurants, pubs, bars and hotels says 300,000 jobs could be at risk if restrictions aren't lifted next week. wedding businesses and couples are also waiting anxiously to see of rules, including a 30—person limit, will be relaxed.
7:04 am
the british chambers of commerce says there needs to be adequate support for businesses if a full reopening is delayed, something we should know for sure later today. katy austin, bbc news. 0ur chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now from st ives, where the prime minister was hosting the g7 summit over the weekend. adam, borisjohnson's attentions now turn to this domestic matter — and it's not the news he was hoping to give. we will get those details from the prime minister's press conference later today, prime minister's press conference latertoday, maybe prime minister's press conference later today, maybe around 6.00. borisjohnson is going to brussels for a nato summit today, government sources confirming to the bbc that it is looking like the 21st ofjune date will be pushed back tojuly instead. a few things to look out for when the prime minister speaks.
7:05 am
what actually is the decision? is it just postponing the decision about the reopening by four weeks, meaning you could get another delay, or is it that there could be a review point and a couple of weeks, depending on the data, and we end up with it being moved to a shorter period than a month away? are there any other tweaks? speculation this morning that may be limits on the number of people who can cut outdoor weddings could be increased, and if you get the number of people going to mass events increased as well, which would sugar the bitter pill of the delay. all of this would be to take account of the fact that the data shows case numbers are increasing, that this delta variant of the virus first identified in india is seemingly more transmissible, and also it is to give time for millions more people to get their second dose of the vaccine, which will give them even more protection against the delta variant and others. however, in a couple of weeks' time, if so many
7:06 am
people have had their second dose, it would be very difficult for the government to justify another delay, especially to lots of conservative mps who are getting really concerned and angry about all this. thank mps who are getting really concerned and angry about all this.— and angry about all this. thank you ve much and angry about all this. thank you very much indeed. _ and at 7.30, we'll be joined by health and social care minister edward argar. the danish footballer christian eriksen remains in hospital this morning after he collapsed during the euro match against finland on saturday. the team doctor has confirmed the 29—year—old went into cardiac arrest and in his words "was gone." 0ur europe correspondent nick beake is in copenhagen. nick, do you think there will be an update on his condition this morning? just talking to people yesterday, that sense of relief was huge, not just for the fans and the fan zone,
7:07 am
the supporters at the stadium, and people who have just been enjoying drink over the weekend with the flags flying. in terms of an update on eriksen's condition, we are not sure whether that will come this morning, but medics at the hospital just down the road, the top heart centre in the whole of denmark, they have not been able to see why he collapsed on the field. but these tests have been going on and try to work out the cause for it. we will hear from some of the players for the first time later today. yesterday we had from the head coach in the team doctor, who has been saying, spoke in very powerful honest terms, saying that christian eriksen, they will be feared, had left them, but they were able to use a defibrillator, and pretty quickly he came back. so it will a traumatic time for the players, they will be giving us an insight litter into what it was like to witness that. many of them have been praised for the way they formed the protective guard, that human chain around christian eriksen as he was being treated, and they consult as family,
7:08 am
in particular his wife. so an extremely difficult weekend, but a huge sense of relief in this city, in this country, and as we have seen across the world, really good wishes for christian eriksen.— for christian eriksen. nick, thanks for christian eriksen. nick, thanks for that update, _ for christian eriksen. nick, thanks for that update, we _ for christian eriksen. nick, thanks for that update, we will— for christian eriksen. nick, thanks for that update, we will come - for christian eriksen. nick, thanks| for that update, we will come back to you if anything is officially announced. in about an hour, we will be speaking to fabrice muamba, who suffered cardiac arrest while playing in 2012, so we will be fascinated to hear his insight to hear his advice for christian eriksen as well. a football club in east sussex has made an appeal after two people were caught on cctv vandalising its life—saving heart defibrillator. the footage — which was posted 2a hours after christian eriksen's collapse — has been viewed more than 700,000 times on twitter.
7:09 am
buxted fc said the incident, which occurred in the early hours yesterday, has put lives at risk. i feel absolutely disgusted that people would do something like this to a bit of equipment that saves someone's life. we all know how important defibrillators are. it proved yesterday to a professional player. that saved his life yesterday. now, the club hasn't got one until we get a replacement, so lives are at risk. because you never know what's going to happen. the us president has been talking about his meeting with the queen at windsor castle yesterday — saying she reminded him of his mother. joe biden and the first lady enjoyed afternoon tea with the queen, following a greeting from a guard of honour. afterwards, the president was full of praise for his royal host. she was very generous, very... i don't think she'd be insulted, but she reminded me of my mother in terms of the look
7:10 am
of her and just the generosity. and i said, you know, "ma'am, you know, it's a long time. she said, "oh, no." i said, "i wish we could stay longer. "maybe we could hold the cars up a minute." anyway. she was very gracious. president biden was on his way to brussels where he'lljoin borisjohnson and other world leaders for a nato summit. 0ur correspondentjenny hill is there for us this morning. what's the mood there this morning? 0verwhelmingly, i think one of relief. three years since donald came here to brussels and shocked delegates in the international media with his open disdain for nato. today, all very different, joe biden has made it clear that he has committed to the organisation, but as angela merkel has put it, we are backin as angela merkel has put it, we are back in business, but it is not quite business as usual. first of all, the us will want its allies to
7:11 am
keep increasing spending on defence, to keep beefing up their own capabilities. secondly, some of those allies were really spooked by donald trump's attitude, they don't know who will be in the white house in four years time, they want to make sure that they themselves have a degree of independence when it comes to defence. countries like france and germany looking at increasing their own capabilities independently. en today's agenda, russia, china, even afghanistan, how to deal with the country post withdrawal of us troops. but also reform, how to keep nato fit for purpose in a changing so world, expect to hear a lot about climate change the security about that. new technologies. there will of course be little disagreements between leaders here today, as you would expect, but i think again overwhelmingly most people here agree that the world is becoming more dangerous, less predictable, and nato needs to adapt in order to survive. , , p, .,

7:13 am
allowed to. you can also see that allowed to. you can also see that all the seats around the stadium, it takes six weeks to erect all the seats, and it takes six weeks to dismantle them as well, the seats are actually built on top of some concrete tennis courts, so of course the cloud members cannot play during this week, but they get to enjoy the tennis instead. looks like it will be dry for the first half of the week, but some thunderstorms likely after that. the forecast today, mostly dry, some cloud around, some rain at the moment as well, but that will tend to peter out, and it will be fresher in the north but still quite humid as we come down to the south—east. a weather front is sinking steadily southwards, that is producing rain across the scottish borders and into northern england currently, and as it continues the journey southwards, it will lose its rain, but continue bringing in some cloud. behind it, some shout across the north west, and here too, a brisk winter. temperatures study ranging from about 11 in the north

to a sticky 29 celsius towards the south—east. for is evening and overnight comedy weather front continues to journey southwards, but again a band of cloud, cloud and other parts of the uk as well, but mostly dry. still quite sticky in the south—east, overnight lows of 15 or16 the south—east, overnight lows of 15 or 16 celsius. but behind that cold front, it will feel fresher. into tomorrow, quite a lot of dry weather around again, a fair bit of sunshine, buta new around again, a fair bit of sunshine, but a new weather front coming in across western scotland and also western parts of northern ireland, which will introduce something rain. tomorrow, for many of us, temperatures will be that bit higher than today, but in the south—east, there will be that little bit lower. but that is not going to last, because on wednesday, high humidity once again. will has just had a very important text from home, one of your

7:23 am
not just for a select exciting day in scotland. that is notjust for a select group of individuals who make decisions about fan zones. 500,000 people are involved in grassroots football in scotland, a tenth of the country, so we have girls and boys and mums and dads and aunts and uncles playing and helping with the scheme all of the country. that doesn't mean they should get priority over places of worship, cinemas, businesses, and they haven't, we have tried to be as fair as we can, but you cannot do everything on the same day, it's just as simple as that. we heard that the testing _ just as simple as that. we heard that the testing kits _ just as simple as that. we heard that the testing kits are - just as simple as that. we heard i that the testing kits are available, the lateral flow tests, for people of the fan party wants to use them. should we have been compulsory? it’s should we have been compulsory? it�*s overly difficult decision, and you can see countries, and uk countries, struggling with exactly that. the behavioural scientists, their fundamental advice is make this about people wanting to help, rather
7:24 am
than mandating. so we have made it easy, or as easy as you can, to do the testing. it's available to the whole population at twice a week, which has been the message for weeks now, whether you are going to the fan zone or not, that's what you should be doing, school pupils, adults, everybody. around the fan zone, we are sending everybody a test kit, we have got a test on bass just outside the gate, i was there yesterday to see round, and we have got people in with rucksacks handing out testing kits chatting to people. i spoke to some of them yesterday, they have had a terrific response. everybody has said, i do not need another test kit, i have been doing it for weeks, so in the round, people are doing it. but if you are going today or tomorrow of the day after, i would going today or tomorrow of the day after, iwould implore going today or tomorrow of the day after, i would implore you to do your test before you leave, just to add that extra layer of protection. a big day forfootball in add that extra layer of protection. a big day for football in scotland, and a big day for a lock restriction using in england, the pro—minister

7:27 am
disease, so you are more likely to be hospitalised by it. marginally, but you are more likely to be hospitalised by it. but vaccines work, so the vaccines work against all of the present variants. the slight nuance here is that the delta variant really needs that second dose to get up to high protection, 80, 80 5% protection. you get some protection from a single dose, i am getting my second dose this thursday, that happens to be my moment to get my second dose, about ten weeks after my first. so we are trying to bring everybody�*s second dose forward to it to ten weeks pending supply, we do not have unlimited supply. having done that, we are confident the vaccines will help with the delta variant, but one of the reasons for delay in scotland, england and elsewhere is tobias more time to get the second doses in. i tobias more time to get the second doses in. ,, ., tobias more time to get the second doses in. ~ ., i. ., ., tobias more time to get the second doses in. ~ ., ., ., ., ., doses in. i know you do not want to redict doses in. i know you do not want to predict what _ doses in. i know you do not want to predict what the _ doses in. i know you do not want to predict what the pro-minister i doses in. i know you do not want to predict what the pro-minister will l predict what the pro—minister will say little, but will you predict what the score is going to be? when

we have the — what the score is going to be? when we have the controversy _ what the score is going to be? trainer! we have the controversy about the fan zone at the weekend, i said a drizzly 0—0 draw, but i do not want that, i want an exciting 2—0 win. good luck, professorjason leitch, thank you forjoining us this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. today marks four years since the grenfell tower fire that killed 72 people. survivor nabil choucair lived on the 22nd floor and lost six members of his family. he's been telling bbc london he feels there hasn't been
7:29 am
justice for those who died. in the last four years, i think my biggest problem is the fact that there has been no prosecution. you know, prosecution should have been a right. if anyone does anything wrong, you get taken into court and punished. why have these people still out there now not been punished? there are still londoners living in buildings with dangerous cladding. there are calls for removal work to be sped up. the government says billions of pounds has been set aside. we are making progress, great progress with the high—rises with the same cladding as grenfell. 95% of the buildings with that same cladding have been remediated, or works on site to carry out the remediation. with the final lifting of lockdown restrictions expected to be delayed to the 19th ofjuly, the mayor is calling on the government to
7:30 am
do more to support businesses who are "on the cusp of closing down for ever". the prime minister is expected to confirm the delay later today many businesses, particularly the pubs, the bars, the restaurants, our theatres, need increased footfall. they can't survive under the current guidelines. so if the government is going to extend the delay, they've got to support to these businesses. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the circle line is part—suspended and the district line has minor delays. but on the trains, southeastern and thameslink services are suspended in both directions between london bridge and dartford via charlton because of an obstruction on the line at greenwich. briefly on the roads — there's the usual delays building up on the highway from shadwell towards tower bridge. finally, two lanes are closed on the a2 london bound from junction 1 — lots of delays — that's due to an overturned lorry. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was very warm yesterday.
7:31 am
temperatures peaking in heathrow and st james' temperatures peaking in heathrow and stjames' park. starting on a mild note with temperatures in the mid teens in celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine around. they could be cloud in the afternoon. temperatures are likely to peak at 29 celsius tomorrow. some spots could get up to 30 but it will not be widespread. the wind is light and it will stay dry. 0vernight tonight, a lot of cloud melting away and there will be long, clear spells with temperatures dropping to the teens in celsius. tuesday, warm and sunny again. wednesday evening, there could be heavy, thundery downpours and there is a met office weather warning in place. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london in an hour. now though it's back to louise and jon. bye—bye for now.
7:32 am
hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. the final easing of lockdown restrictions in england, which was due to take place next monday, is almost certain to be delayed by up to four weeks. the prime minister will make an official announcement today, but several senior ministers have already signed off on a postponement as cases of the new delta variant of coronavirus continue to rise. joining us now from westminster is the health and social care minister edward argar. due to speak later but can you confirm a delay is on the cards? frustratingly perhaps for you and your viewers i will not pre—empt what the prime minister will announce later. he has been looking
7:33 am
at the evidence, particularly the concerning increase in the number of cases of the delta variant as he considers whether to go for the final stage of the easing of restrictions and you will see an announcement from him later. what announcement from him later. what can ou announcement from him later. what can you tell— announcement from him later. what can you tell us _ announcement from him later. what can you tell us about _ announcement from him later. what can you tell us about the _ announcement from him later. what can you tell us about the important link between the transmission and hospital rates? we link between the transmission and hospital rates?— hospital rates? we are seeing numbers of — hospital rates? we are seeing numbers of people _ hospital rates? we are seeing numbers of people in - hospital rates? we are seeing numbers of people in hospitalj numbers of people in hospital creeping up again. i think, and this is possibly a day or two macro out of date there were 1089 people in hospital a couple of days ago. that is still hugely reduced from january when we saw about 38,000 people in hospital, but we are seeing the number of cases go up, i think it was 12,000 a week ago and the latest figures, up to 42,000 over the week. that 40% increased ability to
7:34 am
transmit itself and replicate, that is having an impact on case numbers. but we are not seeing that pulling through to hospitalisation or deaths at the moment. although they are going up a little but not as much. those people ending up in hospital, sadly, with severe cases of the virus by and large are not vaccinated people or people who have only had in some cases one vaccination.— only had in some cases one vaccination. . ,., ., ,., vaccination. have some had both doses? i vaccination. have some had both doses? i am _ vaccination. have some had both doses? i am relying _ vaccination. have some had both doses? i am relying on _ vaccination. have some had both doses? i am relying on memory. j vaccination. have some had both i doses? i am relying on memory. there a small number. _ doses? i am relying on memory. there a small number. i _ doses? i am relying on memory. there a small number. ithink— doses? i am relying on memory. there a small number. i think the _ doses? i am relying on memory. there a small number. i think the latest i a small number. i think the latest figures i saw for the latest week of figures, it was around ten, i think. i might be slightly out but it is very low numbers. some have had both but compared to the numbers admitted to hospital it is a tiny proportion. the majority have not been vaccinated.— the majority have not been vaccinated. . .,~ , vaccinated. that makes your point about vaccines. _

7:36 am
can getjabs in people plus my arms. the key message is when you are eligible to have the jab and are asked, please do it and show up for your appointment. pare asked, please do it and show up for your appointment.— asked, please do it and show up for your appointment. are you looking at children in the _ your appointment. are you looking at children in the future _ your appointment. are you looking at children in the future getting - your appointment. are you looking at children in the future getting jabs? i children in the future getting jabs? what is the thinking? we have asked the jcvi to what is the thinking? we have asked thejcvi to look what is the thinking? we have asked the jcvi to look at this. we what is the thinking? we have asked thejcvi to look at this. we will await their advice and be guided by their scientific advice. as with all aspects of the vaccination programme it is right we are guided by the best scientific advice we can get. the jcvi are best scientific advice we can get. thejcvi are best placed to give that. i the jcvi are best placed to give that. p, the jcvi are best placed to give that. ., ., ., ., that. i want to ask about the delay i know that. i want to ask about the delay i know you — that. i want to ask about the delay i know you are _ that. i want to ask about the delay i know you are not _ that. i want to ask about the delay i know you are not about - that. i want to ask about the delay i know you are not about to i that. i want to ask about the delay l i know you are not about to confirm. is one month long enough? lgalore is one month long enough? were there, is one month long enough? were there. and _ is one month long enough? were there. and you — is one month long enough? were there, and you tempt _ is one month long enough? were there, and you tempt me - is one month long enough? -- there, and you tempt me slightly, were there to be a delay and that is what the prime minister announces,
7:37 am
we we'll see what he says he will make a judgment on how long. if we are going at a run rate of about 250,000 - 300,002nd jabs are going at a run rate of about 250,000 — 300,002nd jabs being done each day, a month gives you roughly that 10 million which closes the gap between the 29 million... the 10 million you have to do to get to 40 million you have to do to get to 40 million and so all 40 million have had their second jabs. i thrill million and so all 40 million have had their second jabs.— million and so all 40 million have had their second jabs. had their second 'abs. i will ask in a different way. i had their second jabs. i will ask in a different way. that _ had their second jabs. i will ask in a different way. that is _ had their second jabs. i will ask in a different way. that is if - had their second jabs. i will ask in a different way. that is if it i had their second jabs. i will ask in a different way. that is if it could | a different way. that is if it could go longer. what about the thought it could go shorter and you could have a break point? i could go shorter and you could have a break point?— a break point? i think the prime minister will _ a break point? i think the prime minister will be _ a break point? i think the prime minister will be looking - a break point? i think the prime minister will be looking at i a break point? i think the prime minister will be looking at all. minister will be looking at all options. i suspect like all of us he will want to see restriction stripped away as soon as possible and it is safe to do so, but he has to weigh up against that progress in
7:38 am
vaccinations, transmissibility of the variant and other things he will consider are the impact of any delay on particular sectors of the economy and on people who possibly have had to postpone their wedding multiple times. those factors will be in his consideration of this. i am afraid i might frustrate you in not being able to say more. fin might frustrate you in not being able to say more.— might frustrate you in not being able to say more. on the point about weddinus able to say more. on the point about weddings and — able to say more. on the point about weddings and a _ able to say more. on the point about weddings and a lot _ able to say more. on the point about weddings and a lot of— able to say more. on the point about weddings and a lot of people - able to say more. on the point about weddings and a lot of people have i weddings and a lot of people have talked about it. it is distressing for p. might there be exemptions for things like weddings? == for p. might there be exemptions for things like weddings?— things like weddings? -- for people. it is distressing _ things like weddings? -- for people. it is distressing and _ things like weddings? -- for people. it is distressing and i _ things like weddings? -- for people. it is distressing and i have _ it is distressing and i have constituents in this situation who have had to postpone their wedding once but twice in some cases, and the cost that can go with that. i know that is something the prime minister will be mindful of and will be sensitive to the situation that those couples find themselves in. i

not delayed after 23 years is scotland's first game in the european championships. but i cannot pre—empt the result, you understand. shall we talk about what else will happen later date. scotland embark on their euros journey today as the take on the czech republic in their first game of the tournament. john watson is live as hampden park for us this morning. good morning. i imagine the excitement is already building. idiots. you get a sense of the anticipation already. you can probably see the final touches are being put to the pitch. as scotland begin their euro 2020 campaign. kick off at tpm. you can only imagine what the scotland players are feeling —— two o'clock. it has been a long time coming with so many scotland players growing up with stories from family members about
7:41 am
how special it is to see their country compete at a major tournament but have not been able to do so until now. five world cups and european championships have passed before they qualified with that spectacular shoot—out with serbia. you can imagine how steve —— the captain will feel when he leads the team out. he was four years old, watching the opening match against brazil, who were world champions at the time. at a party. with his auntie and uncle. people will pack into the stadium and many more watching around the world, such is the attention on this. it is fair to say there is reason for scotland to feel confident. they have a great
7:42 am
record under steve clarke. i think he knows the team and players will be desperate to produce a memorable moment for scottish fans because this day has been a long time coming. this day has been a long time cominu. ~ this day has been a long time comina.~ , shelley kerr led scotland to their first women's world cup in 2019. she's part of the bbc punditry team this afternoon and joins us now. for anyone who does not get it, put today into context. it is for anyone who does not get it, put today into context.— today into context. it is quite simle. today into context. it is quite simple- we _ today into context. it is quite simple. we have _ today into context. it is quite simple. we have been - today into context. it is quite l simple. we have been starved today into context. it is quite - simple. we have been starved of success for 23 years. we, as a nation, are excited that the men's team is back in a finals. certainly the excitement is ramping up in scotland. we cannot wait until the kick off against the czech republic. what sense do you get of what is

7:45 am
game. we are in a tough group. i watched the england game yesterday and they looked really good, but i think our best chance is getting three points against czech republic. that game coming up at the end of this week. have they not come to you and asked for advice being the person who has led scotland to success in a major tournament? the success in a ma'or tournament? the hiuh success in a major tournament? iie: high performance success in a major tournament? i“ie: high performance manager graham jones was integral in the preparation for our world cup sol keep contact with him. and i send steve a message before every game and i chose not to do it on match day, so did it last week. he always sends a message back. i am not one for giving people advice but steve is a first—class coach. the only thing i said to him was you use the analogy when you are flying on a plane, that you use your own oxygen mask first. he will need that
7:46 am

7:47 am
elsewhere, austria and the netherlands made winning starts in group c. it was an entertaining game between the dutch and ukraine, who looked like they'd earned a draw, having scored twice in four minutes — including that goal from west ham's andriy yarmolenko. but denzel dumfries popped up with five minutes to go to score the winner for the netherlands, in front of their own fans in amsterdam. could novak djokovic win all four majors this year? he says he's put himself in a good position after adding the french open to the aussie open he won injanuary. it wasn't easy — he went two sets down against stefanos tsitsipas, but clawed his way back to a 19th grand slam title — just one behind roger federer and rafa nadal. onto the grass, and johanna konta's already made a strong start on the surface. she's won the nottingham open title — herfirst on the tour in four years.

good morning. it's monday the 14th ofjune. our top story — four more weeks of covid restrictions in england. that's the announcement which the prime minister is expected to make later today. the rules were originally scheduled to be lifted on monday, but several senior ministers have already signed off on a postponement, which would allow time to vaccinate millions more people against coronavirus. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now from st ives, where the prime minister was hosting the g7 summit over the weekend. adam, borisjohnson's attentions now turn to this domestic matter — and it's not the news he was hoping to give. after the barbecue on the beach with world leaders and the red arrows and the 1 world leaders and the red arrows and the1 billion world leaders and the red arrows and the 1 billion vaccine doses world leaders and the red arrows and the1 billion vaccine doses been donated to poorer countries, back to the dayjob with the prime minister dealing with covid in the uk. an ideal world, dealing with covid in the uk. an idealworld, he dealing with covid in the uk. an ideal world, he would be announcing tonight that step four of the

lockdown listing in england would be going ahead, the last remaining bits of social distancing would be listed on the 21st ofjune and everyone would be going back to their offices. that will now not be the case, and he will give a press conference at six o'clock tonight, where we expect he will announce that there will be a delay of those decisions of up to four weeks. but we don't no yet if it will be a delay to the date or in early to the decision, or if there will be a review point and a couple of weeks, and maybe things could go a bit faster than we thought. we will have to wait a couple more hours to see, because the government is not confirming any of that stuff. the reasons is happening is because of an increase in the number of cases, and scientific data that shows that the delta variant of covid first identified in india is more transmissible than other versions. and also, it is to give millions more people the extra protection of a second dose of the vaccine, as the health minister was explaining in.

many scottish schoolchildren have been given permission to watch at 2.00 from their classrooms. scottish people have missed out on scotland qualifying for major tournaments, and now we're back, so it's going to be a first for a lot of people. it's something that we believe that where we belong, and it's something we believe that this country kind of needs it, and i think you can feel everyone building. ijust hope that we can do our country proud. fan zones have been set up for those working from home. scotland has just missed out so many times, the bridesmaid but never the bride. happy days! could this squad playing at hampden be a match made in heaven? when the squad walks out onto this lush green pitch in the national stadium, they will be bolstered by the voices of 12,000 members of the tartan army, watching a little bit of history unfold, and there might be some singing from them, too. yes sir, i can boogie. the aim is notjust to beat the czech republic today, but to get through the group stages for the first time in scotland's history, and the whole squad is singing from the same hymn sheet. come on, scotland. jane dougall, bbc news, hampden.
8:07 am
the us president has been talking about his meeting with the queen at windsor castle yesterday. joe biden and the first lady enjoyed afternoon tea with the queen, after a greeting from a guard of honour. president biden described the queen as "gracious." she was very generous, very... i don't think she'd be insulted, but she reminded me of my mother in terms of the look of her and just the generosity. and i said, you know, "ma'am, you know, it's a long time." she said, "oh, no." i said, "i wish we could stay longer. "maybe we could hold the cars up a minute." anyway. she was very gracious. cornwall had a glamorous weekend thanks to the g7 summit,
8:08 am
but the neighbours in devon have been having their own excitement, after a long—snouted seahorse was spotted. otherwise known as the spiny seahorse, the creature was seen by marine biologists from the ocean conservation trust. the once—common species has been in sharp decline in recent years, and this sighting was described as a "super rare" occurrence. it was a hot day and a very warm night for most of us. carol is at queen's tennis club in london with today's forecast. good morning, everybody, the sun is beating down here at queens. a beautiful start to the day. it would not be a tenor must tournament will if there was not a low more

compelling one of our broadcasts. —— tennis tournament. this is the men's singles trophy, it is engraved with all the winners throughout the year, people like boris becker, jimmy connors, and five—time winner andy moray, of course. only a few times the tournament has not been played, but it is actually due to come you will not be able to sit on camera, it'sjust as 1974 to 1976, will not be able to sit on camera, it's just as 1974 to 1976, not held, and it will be the same for last year as well, because of the covered restrictions, the tournament did not take place. —— covid restrictions. the forecast today is largely dry, and also sunny. some rain at the moment moving out of scotland and across northern inwood with some showers ahead of it, but through the course of the day, the weather front producing the rain moving southwards and we can, sojust a band of cloud as it travels south. behind it in the north, fresher than yesterday,
8:10 am
some showers around, and there will also be quite a brisk wind. here, temperatures will be in the low to the mid teens, of us are seeing the high teens, but in the far south—east of england,, temperatures 26 to 29. a band of cloud moving southwards, again mostly dry, more comfortable for sleeping in the north, but in the south—east, still humid with temperatures almost fallen away to about 15 or 16 celsius. tomorrow, starting off on a largely dry not, some cloud around, but in a lot of sunshine as well. however, a weather front is coming in from the north—east, that will introduce some rain across north—west and also north—west ireland, and pushing slowly south eastwards through the course of the afternoon and into the evening. for the south—east, fresher tomorrow with highs of 26, but in the north,
8:11 am
temperatures that little bit higher. but worth mentioning too that the met office has a weather warning out from wednesday evening till friday evening for thunderstorms for parts of england and also use wheels. thank you, carol. as we've been hearing this morning, it's understood the prime minister will today announce a four—week delay in lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england beyond june 215t. but where do things stand at the moment for each of the four uk nations? in england, the "rule of six" still applies to groups meeting indoors. that's up to six people from a maximum of two households. outdoors, it's a maximum of 30 people. and it's the same limit for weddings
8:12 am
and funerals. bars, restaurants and pubs can serve customers indoors, but with limits on capacity to allow for social distancing — and nightclubs can't open at all. in scotland, all areas are due to move to level zero on the 28th ofjune — that's two weeks today — meaning bigger groups can gather in cafes, pubs and restaurants, though social distancing remains. limits on indoor gatherings in northern ireland are due to be relaxed on the 21stjune. and that's also the date when the current rules in wales will be reviewed. graham satchell has been out to gauge the mood, and see if we're ready to live with restrictions for a few weeks longer.

8:14 am
got a chance to see it. so, on father's day, we are going to do a christmas dinner injune, which is a bit strange. revenue here is down 80% and they are desperate to get back to normal. but, again, there are finely balanced competing arguments. if it was my business hat that was on, i would think great, full restrictions lifted, fantastic, great, we can fill our pub and start, hopefully, getting some of the revenue back that we lost. but my heart rules my business head. by waiting another two, three, four weeks, whatever the government decide, i think that can only benefit us and the whole economy. so it would mean, i don't know, five, six million more vaccinations into people. surely that is going to make it saferfor us. i'll admit that i am somebody who is on the fence about this. so from a health perspective, i have always been shielded. i have been really cautious about what i've been doing as someone living with cancer. at the same time, i also want to be living, because life is short and time is precious.
8:15 am
deborahjames, presenter of you, me and the big c podcast is worried. if cases do continue to rise and more people end up in hospital, what will that do to the nhs, already struggling with a huge backlog? my greatest fear is actually not being able to access treatment that might save my life. so for me, whatever decision is made, ijust want to ensure that we are never back at the place where the nhs is overrun and we can't cope. and we can't have that. for me, that can't happen again. hyde park in central london and the question — to lift restrictions in england or not? hm. i did get double—vaxxed and the reason being i want to be free. i want to swim in that serpentine pond, which is not open. you want to shake strangers' hands again? yes. you want to hug people? absolutely, absolutely.
8:16 am
i think i definitely feel nervous now that you can see cases going up a little bit. and i wouldn't really mind waiting a little bit longer. i'm the opposite, really. i think what is the point? is it going to achieve anything? are we going to go backwards and forwards opening and shutting down, whatever? no, let's open up. i want to open up on the 21st, but i want to do it safely, - because i don't want to do it and then have to go back. i there are compelling arguments on both sides of this question and it's looking, for england, like a further delay. graham satchell, bbc news. as we've been hearing, the prime minister is expected to announce a delay to the lifting of most covid restrictions

in england from next week. nina's in halifax to see how that news will go down with business owners. don't you just love coming to new and wonderful places in the uk? this is halifax in west yorkshire, and this is the piece hall where traders used to come and bring little pieces of cloth. have a look from above. now there are around 40 independent retailers here, small shops, hospitality venues, also imagine this place with 6000 partygoers, because the plan is for later in the summer the kaiser chiefs, the specials, richard holly, nile rodgers, if it goes ahead. of course peoples health is at stake here, you may be thinking, but let me take you through some of the numbers. for nightclubs, which have been close completely for 15 months, nine out of ten of them say the next four

is nowhere near as important as we often make out. christian eriksen's sudden collapse during denmark's "euro 2020" match against finland has cast a cloud over the tournament and raised questions about whether the fixture should have been re—started later that night. thankfully, christian is now conscious, and yesterday his team doctor explained just how serious he was gone, we did cardiac resuscitation. how close was he? i don't know. we got him back. affecting so many people, what happened. someone who'll have a better idea than most of what christian went through is the former bolton midfielder fabrice muamba. he suffered a cardiac arrest while playing against tottenham at white hart lane in 2012. thankfully he survived, thanks in large part to the actions

care was able to get into him, and did an absolutely amazing job, and also the pressure that the referee was able to handle the situation, all in all it was a very good team performance to see how quickly the medical care and the referee were able to stop the game. one thing i do not agree is that for them to restart the game, it would have been better if it had been delayed for another day or two because mentally, some of these guys will never forget the situation. but the most important thing is that tristan is ok. �* ~ :, :, important thing is that tristan is ok. ~ ~ ., ., important thing is that tristan is ok. ~ ., ., ., important thing is that tristan is ok. ~ ~ ., ., ., ~ ., 0k. andrew, i know that you two know each other. — 0k. andrew, i know that you two know each other, because _ 0k. andrew, i know that you two know each other, because you _ 0k. andrew, i know that you two know each other, because you were - 0k. andrew, i know that you two know each other, because you were there i each other, because you were there when fabrice was playing, when he collapsed, you helped to save his life, sojust collapsed, you helped to save his life, so just take us through, because it was extraordinary what happened this weekend, the reaction was absolutely brilliant, so just take us through the things that needs to be done in this situation, which you clearly did. in

8:30 am
people realise. so there are a lot of hurdles they need to jump before they make any decision, but the most important thing is i keep saying is that he is ok and making a good recovery, and ijust hope the next step will be positive as well. fabrice, it was very moving as well to see the reaction of the team, how they gathered round him, they looked after his wife, julie was very moving, wasn't it?— after his wife, julie was very moving, wasn't it? yes, it was, and i think the — moving, wasn't it? yes, it was, and i think the idea — moving, wasn't it? yes, it was, and i think the idea of _ moving, wasn't it? yes, it was, and i think the idea of protecting - i think the idea of protecting christian is such a good idea because you do not want to see the last image of christian being on the floor, so actually that could be traumatising for some people as well, but at the same time, all in all it was a very good team effort, all it was a very good team effort, a lot of people learn to do and how
8:31 am
to do cpr, it could save a lot of lives, because through the help of cpr, christian way —— people were able to save christian's life. fabrice, will you get in touch with christian? i am sure your experience will be helpful for him and christian? i am sure your experience will be helpfulfor him and his family. will be helpfulfor him and his famil . :, ., :, , family. you want to give them space, and then when _ family. you want to give them space, and then when the _ family. you want to give them space, and then when the time _ family. you want to give them space, and then when the time is _ family. you want to give them space, and then when the time is right, i i and then when the time is right, i will get in touch. it will happen organically. i do not need to be in touch right now, he needs to be given space, and when the time is right, i will see how he is.- right, i will see how he is. fabrice muamba, thank— right, i will see how he is. fabrice muamba, thank you _ right, i will see how he is. fabrice muamba, thank you so _ right, i will see how he is. fabrice muamba, thank you so much, i right, i will see how he is. fabrice| muamba, thank you so much, and doctor andrew deaner, thank you for your time. a huge amount of relief, thank goodness we are reporting the good news that he seems to be on the
8:32 am
mend. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. today marks four years since the grenfell tower fire that killed 72 people. survivor nabil choucair lived on the 22nd floor and lost six members of his family. he's been telling bbc london he feels there hasn't been justice for those who died. in the last four years, i think my biggest problem is the fact that there has been no prosecution. you know, prosecution should have been a right. if anyone does anything wrong, you get taken into court and punished. why have these people still out there now not been punished? there are still londoners living in buildings with dangerous cladding. there are calls for removal work to be sped up. the government says £5.1 billion has been set aside.
8:33 am
we are making progress, great progress with the high—rises with the same cladding as grenfell. 95% of the buildings with that same cladding have been remediated, or works on site to carry out the remediation. with the final lifting of lockdown restrictions expected to be delayed to the 19th ofjuly, the mayor is calling on the government to do more to support businesses who are "on the cusp of closing down for ever". the prime minister's expected to confirm the delay later today. many businesses, particularly the pubs, the bars, the restaurants, our theatres, need increased footfall. they can't survive under the current guidelines. so if the government is going to extend the delay, they've got to support to these businesses. let's take a look at the travel situation now... the circle line is part—suspended and there are severe delays on the district line. on the trains, southeastern and thameslink services are suspended in both directions between london bridge and dartford via charlton because of an obstruction on the line at greenwich.
8:34 am
on the roads — the north circular is closed northbound from the a12 redbridge roundabout to j4 following an accident. finally, two lanes are closed on the a2 london bound from junction 1 that's due to an overturned lorry. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. it was very warm yesterday. with all that sunshine, we saw temperatures peak at 28c in heathrow and stjames' park. we will see something similar today. starting on a mild note with temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. lots of blue sky and sunshine through the morning. as we head through the afternoon, there could be more in the way of patchy cloud. temperatures are likely to peak at 28—29 celsius. some spots could get up to 30 but it will not be widespread. the winds are light and it will stay dry. overnight tonight, a lot of the cloud melting away
8:35 am
and there will be long, clear spells with temperatures dropping to the mid—teens in celsius. tuesday, warm, dry and sunny again. by wednesday evening, there could be heavy, thundery downpours and there is a met office weather warning in place. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london just after 9. now back to louise and jon. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and louise minchin. morning live follows breakfast on bbc one this morning. kym and gethin can tell us what's on today's show. morning. when danish midfielder christian eriksen collapsed during the euro match against finland at the weekend, the quick response of his team captain undoubtedly helped save his life. dr ranj explains why he thinks
8:36 am
everyone should know cpr and how you can learn it. the last 15 months have put a strain on the economy. and if the lifting of restrictions will be delayed after the 21stjune, the last 15 months have put a strain on the uk economy. a fifth of brits are worried they won't have enough money to retire. if you're one of them, don't miss our chat with personal finance expert alice tapper, as she shares her top money tips, including a clever way to work out if you're putting enough into your pension. she may be heading to retirement herself, but hear why historian mary beard has no plans to take it easy. having published herfirst book in her 30s and made herfirst tv show at 57, she shares her advice on achieving your goals later in life. and they've come out of retirement. as the pandemic left supermarket shelves stripped bare, we saw a return of the milkman. we join one of them on their round to find out how he's coping with all the new business, and why his customers think he's second only to the nhs. a lovely story of community spirit. plus, there's a massive shortage of foster families.
8:37 am
if you've ever wondered if it could be for you, presenter pandora christie explores the realities and the rewards as she shares her story of growing up in a foster home. and if you're in need of a boost of energy, nancy xu joins us for strictly fitness and today it's all about the bottom. not the biceps. thanks for leaving us with that. brilliant. some of it, at least. we were hoping today would bring some good news — the confirmation that all covid restrictions in england would be lifted, as planned, from next monday. that's now looking extremely unlikely. let's take stock of where we are with virologist dr chris smith and professor of public health, linda bauld. the prime minister will make a statement this afternoon and it
8:38 am
looks likely to be delayed. is that what is likely to happen, is it the right thing to happen? goad what is likely to happen, is it the right thing to happen? good morning, i think it is likely — right thing to happen? good morning, i think it is likely to _ right thing to happen? good morning, i think it is likely to happen. _ right thing to happen? good morning, i think it is likely to happen. we i i think it is likely to happen. we have heard ministers implying this over the weekend with interviews yesterday and you have had the minister on the programme earlier giving i think a clear signal. if you look at where we are in the data, professorandrew you look at where we are in the data, professor andrew heyward said yesterday if you are not sure what is around the corner and you are driving, you decelerate. i think thatis driving, you decelerate. i think that is what is happening. we are not clear about the link between the proportion of people vaccinated and what is happening with people going into hospital. and again as the minister said, we have over 11 million people in the uk, adults who have not had a vaccine, and we need to get the people who have not had a second dose, we need to get more of
8:39 am
them having the second dose and extra weeks will buy greater protection and assurance. chris, when you _ protection and assurance. chris, when you look— protection and assurance. chris, when you look at _ protection and assurance. chris, when you look at the _ protection and assurance. chris, when you look at the data, i protection and assurance. chris, when you look at the data, you i protection and assurance. chris, i when you look at the data, you see clearly cases are rising. does that amount to a third wave?- clearly cases are rising. does that amount to a third wave? some people sa if ou amount to a third wave? some people say if you talk— amount to a third wave? some people say if you talk to _ amount to a third wave? some people say if you talk to the _ amount to a third wave? some people say if you talk to the world _ amount to a third wave? some people say if you talk to the world health i say if you talk to the world health organisation we are still in the first wave _ organisation we are still in the first wave because the infection is still sweeping across the world. yes, _ still sweeping across the world. yes. i_ still sweeping across the world. yes, i think we are at the cusp of having _ yes, i think we are at the cusp of having another outbreak in —— and the reason — having another outbreak in —— and the reason is _ having another outbreak in —— and the reason is simple, we have been a lockdown— the reason is simple, we have been a lockdown and when in lockdown contact — lockdown and when in lockdown contact is — lockdown and when in lockdown contact is minimised and the prospect— contact is minimised and the prospect of people transmitting the virus to— prospect of people transmitting the virus to each other is minimised. you get — virus to each other is minimised. you get fewer cases. we have a new variant~ _ you get fewer cases. we have a new variant~ the — you get fewer cases. we have a new variant. the new kid on the biological block. the indian variant, _ biological block. the indian variant, and it spreads better. ptans — variant, and it spreads better. ptans had _ variant, and it spreads better. plans had been made which were the particular— plans had been made which were the particular trajectory we were

8:41 am
effectiveness is less after the first dose for all vaccines and strengthened after the second dose. in the face of the delta variant, the first dose only provides a third of protection and when you get to the second dose, the level of protection is similar to what it was against the so—called kent variant. that is data that emphasises the importance of the second dose. over to you, chris. part importance of the second dose. over to you. chris— to you, chris. part of the reason we are concerned _ to you, chris. part of the reason we are concerned about _ to you, chris. part of the reason we are concerned about the _ to you, chris. part of the reason we are concerned about the indian - are concerned about the indian variant, — are concerned about the indian variant, delta agent, you need both doses— variant, delta agent, you need both doses of— variant, delta agent, you need both doses of vaccine to get the level of protection — doses of vaccine to get the level of protection we were achieving against the so—called kent variant. the reason — the so—called kent variant. the reason is — the so—called kent variant. the reason is these variants are genetically distinct. they have changes— genetically distinct. they have changes in the genetic make up that changed _ changes in the genetic make up that changed the way in which the virus behaves _ changed the way in which the virus behaves in — changed the way in which the virus behaves in a subtle way. one way to do that _ behaves in a subtle way. one way to do that is— behaves in a subtle way. one way to do that is to — behaves in a subtle way. one way to do that is to change the appearance of the _ do that is to change the appearance of the virus — do that is to change the appearance of the virus a bit, which means the antibodies — of the virus a bit, which means the

8:44 am
doses for people in their 505 who have not had them. people in their 405, 305. my 18—year—old son who is due his first dose next week is not going to get his second dose by them but by protecting older groups we will have more population immunity. and the government concerned with the number of people in hospital, that will be weaker. he the number of people in hospital, that will be weaker.— that will be weaker. he gets that because he _ that will be weaker. he gets that because he presumably - that will be weaker. he gets that because he presumably likely - that will be weaker. he gets that i because he presumably likely lives in scotland and they have different variations of who gets the jab. we have been at a fan zone today and other things are opening up. and there is euro 2020 going on. are you concerned there will be more people meeting, even if they are outside? it is a good point. first, it is a long time since scotland was in the
8:45 am
euros and we are excited about the match today but moving on from football, there are concerns. the fan zones, these are outdoor areas. chris was speaking about this in the media in scotland yesterday. they are outdoors, the risks are less, they are managed, but people are encouraged to take up testing, even though the testing is not perfect. i am more concerned that when we have something to celebrate, people might gather in homes including in larger numbers and if a goal is scored they will embrace and people will be close to one another. the public health message is if you can do it outside and celebrate outside, please do, and avoid large gatherings in each other�*s homes. a5 chris has been discussing, infections average between 5000, 6000 a day, including in scotland we have numbers we have not seen in awhile, so we want to keep those

8:47 am
have plenty of reasons to feel confident and that is the message steve clarke will tell players. there has been disappointment and near misses and agony of missing out on major tournaments. 23 years in the making this day. spare a thought for players, a generation of fans who have missed out seeing scotland play on the big stage. no more than andy robertson the scotland captain will be desperate to give them something to cheer about. the reason they can feel confident, a safe pair of hands in steve clarke, unbeaten here in six matches and they beat the czech republic last year. let's hear from the man who orchestrated this run. the tartan army can get excited, they can get carried away, they can get overexcited for us. we have to be excited to be involved in the tournament, the first time in a long time, but we have to keep an emotional control so that when we do get to the match, we play to our full potential.

i believe if we do that, we can get a good result. it was the world cup in 1998 when scotland played brazil, the world champions in their opening match. you wonder if they are about to create special memories for fans. players will be desperate to do that. you feel that this day, having been so long in the making, you get a feeling here, there is something in the air. , i, i, i, i, england are up and running at euro 2020, and they got their campaign off to a winning start at wembley against croatia. kalvin phillips of leeds set up raheem sterling to score the only goal of the game against the team that knocked england out of the world cup in the semi—finals three years ago in front of a crowd of almost 18,500 fans. when you are in front of your home

crowd it is an extra boost. you have to come in with a clear head and be excited to be in front of home fans. that is the most important thing, you have people from behind you, supporting you. coming from the hotel it is a great feeling. we have to live with it and use it to our advantage. meanwhile, wales' next game is against turkey in baku in two days' time. they drew their opener i—all against switzerland, but on wednesday, the turks will have the majority of the support in a 30,000—plu5 crowd. they are going to have to block out quite a lot of noise. thanks. see you tomorrow. on the subject of a lot of noise... a5 sally was saying, it's a huge day for the tartan army today. scotland is taking on the czech republic at hampden park, in front of 12,000 spectators. we can say hello to alexandra mackenzie.

8:55 am
really let's see those chests come out. and fling. it's one of the most famous moments in british comedy history. carry on camping was the highest—grossing film of 1969 at the uk box office. and now the very bikini that pinged off barbara windsor is up for auction. if you look closely, you can see the little hole left over and the fishing twine from where they attached the hook into the middle of her bra. to get it off. that's movie history. and there's a story as to how it survived. the bikini was rescued from the rubbish pile in the 19905 when the costume company who had provided the costumes for the film carry on camping were having a stock clear—out. and it had been tossed aside and was due to be thrown out with all the unwanted stock. so the person who is selling the bikini actually worked
8:56 am
for the costume company and they instantly recognised the bikini. and she was told she could take anything that was due to be thrown out in the skip and this is what she saved. and it has been kept in a box safely for all of these years. barbara windsor used to say that the scene would follow her to the end. and it did, with this photo appearing on the order of service at her funeral. here are her memories of how filming did indeed feature the use of a fishing rod. and up we go and then he had to pull it, you see. of course, it didn't come off. there was the mud. i went right down into the mud. and these were the very words, i swear to god, "pick her up, rub her down, get the mud off, we have to go again." one eyewitness from that day is the actorjulian holloway, who played jim tanner in the film. we thought we would introduce you to something you may remember.
8:57 am
0k. recognise this? oh, yes. i didn't wear it personally, but i do recognise it. tell us your memories of actually that exact moment. there's a shot of me opening my tent and looking out at the wonderment before me, which was not wonderment at all. it was appalling, because the conditions were just dire. i mean, all the things that you've heard countless people saying about spraying the mud green, all completely true. it was vile. we had every condition under the sun, except sun. if you are making a film about a summer holiday, you don't start shooting in october in england. but he does have nothing but praise for babs. terribly sorry. here, let me. she was always full of fun, loved a giggle and had absolutely no side to her whatever. she was terrific.
8:58 am
dame barbara windsor died from alzheimer's last december. all the money raised by the bikini auction will go to the alzheimer's society. so when it starts, its hoped people will carry on bidding. colin paterson, bbc news. fantastic. i cannot believe it was just thrown away. saved for the nation from the skip. barbara windsor would be chuffed. you're watching bbc breakfast.
