has been agreed by ministers. the pause could be for another four weeks. borisjohnson will make an announcement later today. but, a glimmer of hope for those waiting to be married, with hints restrictions on weddings, might still be eased. how will the delays affect you? victoria derbyshire is in blackpool through the day to hear from people living there about what the final stages of unlocking mean for them. nato leaders — including borisjohnson — are gathering in brussels for what the secretary general called a pivotal summit that will open a new chapter for the alliance. christian eriksen�*s agent tells the bbc, he's feeling fine and thanks everyone wising him well. the last time scotland's men qualified for a major international football tournament, there was no scottish parliament and google didn't exist. in half an hour's time, they'll face the czech republic in their first euro 2020 match.
1:31 pm
12,000 spectators have been allowed into hampden park — with a further six thousand in the glasgow fan park. jane dougall has been following the scotland team and is inside hampden park. you can probably see behind me that the teams have come out to start warming up. that is the czech republic team directly behind me, scotland are on the far side of the pits. as they came out what a reception hand and gave them. yes, there are only 12,000 fans they are, 25% capacity, but that roar that they gave certainly sounded like there were 60,000 here, instead of 12,000. i would there were 60,000 here, instead of 12,000. iwould imagine there were 60,000 here, instead of 12,000. i would imagine when kick—off takes place at 2pm that that will rise even further because they have been waiting for 23 years. there is a few songs they have been practising in the meantime. yes, sir, i can boogie. it became
1:32 pm
scotland's euros and then when the song was sang in the dressing room after the men's team qualified for the first major tournament in 23 years. yes, sir, i can boogie. years. yes, sir, i can boouie. yes, sir, i can boogie. on the day of their opening _ yes, sir, i can boogie. on the day of their opening match _ yes, sir, i can boogie. on the day of their opening match there - yes, sir, i can boogie. on the day of their opening match there is i of their opening match there is excitement amongst the next generation. many scottish schoolchildren have been given permission to watch at two o'clock from their classrooms. the scottish eo - le from their classrooms. the scottish peeple missed _ from their classrooms. the scottish people missed out _ from their classrooms. the scottish people missed out on _ from their classrooms. the scottish people missed out on scotland - people missed out on scotland qualifying for major tournaments. now we are back so it will be a first for a lot of people. it is something that we believe where we belong, this country kind of needs it. you can feel everyone building. i hope that we can do our country proud. i hope that we can do our country roud. ., ., , ., , , proud. the fan zones have been set u . proud. the fan zones have been set u- for proud. the fan zones have been set up for those — proud. the fan zones have been set up for those working _ proud. the fan zones have been set up for those working from - proud. the fan zones have been set up for those working from home. i up for those working from home. scotland hasjust up for those working from home. scotland has just missed up for those working from home. scotland hasjust missed out up for those working from home. scotland has just missed out so many times, the price made but never the bride. happy days. could the squad playing at hand and be a match made
1:33 pm
in heaven? when this quarter walks out onto this pitch in the national stadium they will be bolstered by the voices of 12,000 members of the tartan army, watching a little piece of history unfold. and there might be some singing from them also. yes, sir, i can boogie. the aim is not just to beat the czech republic today but to get to the group stages for the first time in scotland's history and the entire squad is singing from the same hymn sheet. come on, scotland. let us bring new team news. kieran tierney, the arsenal player, is not even on the bench, we suspect he has taken a knock. head coach steve clarke walked past as a moment ago, he looked the most relaxed person in the stadium, he had his hands in his pockets. i cannot see the same for the fans who are in the stadium. i think the nerves are starting to jangle because they will be watching history. this is the first time in 23 years that their country will be
1:34 pm
playing in a major tournament. as the excited for that? kick off is in half an hour. the new prime minister of israel, naftali bennett, has chaired his first cabinet meeting and promised to heal the country's rifts. the right—winger has met president reuven rivlin for a group photo with his new government. the coalition of eight parties joined forces to unseat benjamin netanyahu after his 12 years in office. parliament approved the new government byjust a single vote. 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 a historic first. winning just seven of 120 parliamentary seats in the last
1:35 pm
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 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 a time 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 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 turn as finance minister alongside benjamin netanyahu,
1:36 pm
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 was unable to do so. his party had second most votes behind 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, mansur 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 ideologically. they include those on the left and former right—wing allies of benjamin netanyahu. what really stitches them together
1:37 pm
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. but that will not be easy after last month's mob violence in mixed arab and jewish cities and as tensions continue to simmer injerusalem. friends of two sisters stabbed to death in a london park last year have described the �*lovely�* and �*positive' atmosphere of a birthday party the pair attended hours before their death. bibaa henry and nicole smallman were murdered injune 2020 by a teenager who in a handwritten
1:38 pm
note said he made a pact with the devil promising to �*sacrifice' in exchanged for winning the lottery. danyal hussein denies all charges. the 0scar—nominated actor — ned beatty — who was best known for his role in the 70s thriller, "deliverance" — has died — he was 83. ned beatty appeared in more than 150 films, including the original "superman" movie alongside christopher reeve, marlon brando and gene hackman. as we've been hearing, it's understood borisjohnson will today announce a four—week delay in lifting the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england beyond june 21st. that could mean capacity limits for sports events, pubs and cinemas will remain and nightclubs will stay closed. graham satchell has been out to gauge the mood — and see if people are 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, large—scale events.
1:39 pm
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 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. so, on father's day, we are going to do a christmas dinner injune, which is a bit strange. revenue here is down 80%
1:40 pm
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. deborahjames, presenter of you, me and the big c podcast is worried.
1:41 pm
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. i think i definitely feel nervous now that you can see cases going up a little bit.
1:42 pm
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 and it's looking, for england, like a further delay. graham satchell, bbc news. in brazil, the pandemic has taken a heavy toll on the job prospects of young people. but in some districts, they re organising and fighting back. translation: i have been looking for a job since - the beginning of 2020.
1:43 pm
i decided to look for a job now to help my parents at home and to buy the things i need, and save money for college, as one day i hope to graduate. because of the pandemic, looking for work now is an almost impossible task because firms are closing down and they are reducing staff. pedro is one of the millions of young brazilians who were unemployed in the pandemic. even before covid, young people in brazil struggled hardest to find work as they had to compete with millions of other unemployed people, often with much more experience. the pandemic aggravated the situation with the unemployment rate for people aged between 18—24 reaching nearly 30% by the end of 2020, with more than 4 million young brazilians looking for a job. but in this favela, one of the largest poor communities in sao paulo, the most populous city
1:44 pm
in south america, community leaders are fighting the pandemic and youth unemployment at the same time. here in paraisopolis we established a great solidarity network called street presidents. for every 50 homes, we have a voluntary resident taking care of 50 families and to keep the structure running, we hired around 200 young people so they could help with the coordination. grazi is one of the young adults employed in the fight against covid. at first a volunteer worker, she now receives a salary. as part of herjob she provides support for women in the community, including victims of domestic violence. translation: i feel so proud because... | because when i first started, i was unemployed, i was desperate, so to start working with such an incredible project, i say to my mum every day, actually, she is the one who says it, how much i have changed.
1:45 pm
another initiative in paraisopolis is helping hundreds of locals finding jobs in companies close to the community, including young people looking for their firstjobs. people here call it the favela linked in. translation: the community pro'ect was created in 2017 and we have h already registered more than 17,000 people on our database. we qualified over 1500 people and have already found jobs for around 2700 people. maybe with their help, pedro will find a job so he can help his family. translation: i am hopefulthings i will change, things will happen i and i will be able to go back to thejob market. the headlines on bbc news... a delay in the full lifting of england's lockdown, has been agreed by ministers. the pause could be for another four weeks. borisjohnson will make
1:46 pm
an announcement later today. that could mean capacity limits for sports, pubs and cinemas will remain, and nightclubs would stay closed. nato leaders, including borisjohnson, are gathering in brussels for what the secretary general called a pivotal summit that will open a new chapter for the alliance. two american men have appeared in a tokyo court for the first time, for allegedly helping former nissan boss carlos ghosn to flee japan. michael taylor and his son, peter taylor, were extradited from the us in march. our business reporter, mariko 0i is following the story. they have appeared in a tokyo court and both of them have admitted that they legally helped carlos ghosn escape japan. who can really forget that dramatic escape at the end of 2019. just as we were all getting ready
1:47 pm
to celebrate the new year, the news of carlos ghosn�*s escape came in, hidden in a box, if you remember, and on a private jet before reaching his childhood home, which is lebanon, which doesn't have an extradition treaty with japan. he was of course awaiting trial on charges of financial misconduct, including understating his compensation in nissan's financial statements as well as enriching himself at his employees' expense. carlos ghosn denies any wrongdoing and claims he had to escape japan because he argues that he would have faced an unfair trial. but left behind injapan was his colleague greg kelly who is still facing trial and aside from this father and son, us army special forces veteran michael taylor and his son peter, who could face up to three years in jail, there were several others in turkey, an official from a private airline as well as two pilots who have been jailed for helping carlos ghosn escape via istanbul.
1:48 pm
so this case is really closely monitored injapan because it obviously affected nissan's reputation and shook the auto industry injapan. the first time this century that that scottish men's team have reached the finals of a major international tournament. all the pageantry there in hampden park. it has taken a while for the team to get there but they have made it. the czech republic are their first opponents today. england, of course, in the same group. england 11—0

1:51 pm
swiss voters have narrowly rejected government proposals to limit carbon dioxide emissions — putting the country's strategy to comply with the paris agreement on climate change in doubt. in a referendum, 51% of people rejected a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions to half their 1990 levels by the end of this decade. tim allman has the details. it is considered by many to be the greatest threat facing humanity, a climate crisis that could endanger all life on earth. governments around the world are introducing legislation to at least begin to address the issue. but in switzerland, the electorate seem to have other ideas. translation: voters rejected the law. - it is not yet possible to say exactly what the reasons for the rejection are, what is certain is that the bill was very comprehensive. it covered different areas and was probably overloaded, large bills always have a hard time. switzerland is a country feeling the effects
1:52 pm
of climate change more than most. scientists say temperatures here are rising at about twice the pace of the global average and it is feared that the country's alpine glaciers could melt away by the end of the century. perhaps this was just referendum fatigue or perhaps this was simply an electorate unwilling to take economic risks while recovering from the current coronavirus pandemic. translation: we knew _ from the beginning that we had much better arguments than our opponents, but, of course, it was difficult to get through and show the population this law is very inefficient and it will cost a lot of money and it brings no benefit to the climate. that argument that the law would bring too many costs seems to have won the day. environmentalists insist the cost of climate change will be much, much higher. it was the original "wardrobe malfunction" and one of the most celebrated — and re—played — moments in british cinema.

now barbara windsor�*s bikini from carry on camping is being sold at auction. it's expected to attract a lot of interest as our 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 for the film carry on camping
1:54 pm
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,
1:55 pm
"rub her down, get the mud off, 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 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
1:56 pm
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, its hoped people will carry on bidding. colin paterson, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. temperatures yesterday reached 28 celsius across south—east england, today will be hotter, 29 authority. with the air still humoured high temperatures to the south. to the north of that the air is fresher. the heat restricted to southern and
