good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. covid vaccinations are to be made compulsory for care home staff in england. a family living with parkinson's disease. we're with world cup—winner mike tindall, as he heads home to see his dad for the first time in six months. in an exclusive interview with the bbc, the countess of wessex tells us how hard the royal family have been hit by the death of the duke of edinburgh. it was an �*oh, my god' moment. so i think they'll come and go.

but you have to let them come and let them go. a new trade deal with australia. i am asking why the ink drying in downing street is affecting the lambs in lancashire. a big test for wales in the euros. they face turkey, who are expected to be roared on by 30,000 supporters in azerbaijan. we have had heavy rain overnight in scotland and northern ireland. as that move southwards the rain will be lighter but ahead of it, another hot and humid day with some thunderstorms later. the details coming up. good morning, it's wednesday 16th june, our top story. covid vaccinations are to be made compulsory for care home staff in england who work with older people. it's expected that workers will have 16 weeks to get a jab, or face losing theirjobs.

ministers said to be concerned about the low take—up of the jab in some areas, and consultations will also start on bringing in the same rule for other health and care staff. james reynolds reports. staff in adult care homes look after the people most likely to die from covid—i9. more than 80% of workers have already been vaccinated. the rest now face a choice — get the jab or give up theirjob. the government says the move to make vaccination compulsory will save lives. it says there is precedent for this. surgeons, for example, are required to get the hepatitis b vaccine. but for some in the social care sector, an ultimatum is simply too blunt. we absolutely agree — we would like to see everybody vaccinated to keep our workforce safe. that includes any visitors coming into our services, any professionals coming

into our services. we would like to see everybody vaccinated. but we can't compel them to do it. it will be really worrying that they have been singled out, care homes have been singled out, and our staff have been singled out for this as a compulsory move. i think it should be rethought. but one organisation welcomes the move. in february, the barchester care group announced that it would make covid vaccination for its 17,000 staff compulsory. in the end, around 80 staff declined. they have now left theirjobs. we've had to make a choice between the rights of our residents to remain safe and as safe as possible, which is a legal obligation we have as a provider, and the individual rights of people's choice to choose not to have the vaccine. of course, that is a balance and we have taken advice on it and thought about it long and hard. in the end, there is an overarching responsibility for us as a provider for the safety of our residents.

care home staff are expected to be given 16 weeks to getjabbed. the government is also beginning a consultation into extending compulsory vaccinations to staff who work for the nhs. james reynolds, bbc news. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. iimagine the i imagine the government will argue there are rules in place for surgeons and the hepatitis b jab, but there will be resistance. it is controversial _ but there will be resistance. it 3 controversial among care home operators and some trade unions because they say is surely a better way would be to encourage people who have not had the vaccine to get it and to make it easy and reassuring, rather than compelling them to have it. also some operators saying it will make it harder than it already is to recruit staff. some potential

employees might be put off by this. the government said it is the right thing to do to protect residents in care homes where they live. scientists say when it came to the first dose, they needed at least 80% of care home staff to be vaccinated. that may have changed now the second doseis that may have changed now the second dose is around but also it may have changed because of the presence of the more transmissible variant of the more transmissible variant of the virus. the government said some care homes in parts of the country it is quite far below the 80% level so we will see the decision made in the next couple of days and then care home workers will have 16 weeks to get there jab. the care home workers will have 16 weeks to get there jab-— to get there “ab. the discussion around to get there “ab. the discussion aound the — to get there jab. the discussion around the delay _ to get there jab. the discussion around the delay lockdown - to get there jab. the discussion around the delay lockdown has| to get there jab. the discussion - around the delay lockdown has been high on the agenda and today that goes to parliament. to high on the agenda and today that goes to parliament.— goes to parliament. to deliver the month long _ goes to parliament. to deliver the month long delay _ goes to parliament. to deliver the month long delay to _ goes to parliament. to deliver the month long delay to the _ goes to parliament. to deliver the month long delay to the final- goes to parliament. to deliver the month long delay to the final step i month long delay to the final step of lifting the lockdown, the government has to amend the law that

puts lockdown restrictions in england in place and that will be voted on by mps today. as usual when these things come to parliament, you can expect a large handful of conservative mps to rebel against it because they are not pleased with the decision. but labour support it which means it will inevitably get through parliament. there is no risk to this happening, but it will be another opportunity for critics of the government to make their case and we will get another sense of how many conservative mps are concerned, which will give you a sense of what problems the government might face next time they have to put any kind of legislation referring to covid to the commons. talking to conservative backbenchers yesterday, they are worried the delay means there will be may be another delay in a couple of weeks or may be something else will come up that means some restrictions will still be in place, rather than all restrictions being lifted which was the government's

intention. thanks. sophie, the countess of wessex, has reflected on the death of the duke of edinburgh in an emotional interview with naga, for her bbc radio 5 live programme. she was speaking ahead of the un's international day for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has more. the countess of wessex spoke openly about her charity work, parenting teenagers and the death of the duke of edinburgh. just before lockdown, she visited south sudan, to raise awareness of sexual violence against women living in conflict zones. it's a key part of her royal work. she praised the bravery of women who shared the brutality of their experience. when you hear somebody�*s story of gang rape and, literally, physically what has happened to them, it absolutely brings you to your knees. and i had tears falling off my face as she was talking to me. i was completely silent,

but i was just in floods of tears. the countess also welcomed the increased openness amongst young women in the uk to discuss the sexual harassment and abuse they face. she said it was something she had discussed with her 17—year—old daughter and valued the honest conversations they have as a family. she is actually quite aware of it, so we chat about it quite a lot, and particularly if i've been on a trip somewhere, she wants to know where i've been and what i've been doing. so she has a natural curiosity about it, and it's easy to have that kind of conversation with her. she also spoke about the death of the duke of edinburgh and the impact of grief, especially those moments that catch you when you realise he isn't there. we were lucky enough to go to scotland for half—term. i don't know if you remember the photograph that i took. of the queen and the duke? yeah. i was pregnant with louise at the time. and we went up there

during half—term. are you 0k? mm. and just to be there, in that place was an �*oh, my god' moment. so i think they'll come and go. but you have to let them come and let them go. away from the sadder moments, the countess said she'd got fitter in lockdown, and the tv series she had binged over the past year — line of duty. daniela relph, bbc news. interesting to hear from interesting to hearfrom her. you can hear the full interview on bbc radio 5 live from ten o'clock this morning. she is not the only one who has binge watched line of duty.

israel says it has launched air strikes against hamas targets on the gaza strip, in retaliation for incendiary balloons fired from the palestinian territory. it's the first major attack since 11 days of fighting between the two sides ended in a ceasefire last month. president biden and russian leader vladimir putin will meet for a summit in geneva later today, for the first time since mr biden�*s inauguration. both leaders say they hope the talks will lead to more stability. but with relations between the two countries under severe strain, it's likely to be tense. the uk is "shockingly unprepared" for the rising temperatures and extreme weather caused by climate change. that's the warning to the government from environmental experts. the climate change committee is predicting more severe heatwaves and intense rainfall than previously thought. 0ur science editor, david shukman, reports. is the uk ready for more of this? floods, storms and other extremes.

the government's climate advisers have assessed what's in store for us and they are worried. they reckon the country is not properly geared up for the hazards to come. with temperatures set to rise globally and in the uk, wildfires and heatwaves will become more common, and the advisers say this isn't something for the distant future, it's already happening here and now. we only have to look back to last summer, when we had six days in august when temperatures in the south—east were 10 degrees above normal. that's extraordinary and that is the impact of climate change hitting us now in the uk. and it's going to get worse. they highlight met office projections for how the uk could heat up. first by 2050, in an optimistic scenario, and then by 2080, if iittle is done to stop the gases

that are driving up temperatures. and this would affect everyone. power supplies could become more vulnerable, the advisers say, put at risk by more violent weather just when everyone will be relying on electricity for their cars. and homes across the country will also feel the heat, literally. never designed for temperatures on the scale forecast. and experts say many people are having trouble staying cool right now. most of the people who contact us, they are just at their wits' end. when it's in your home and you can't escape the heat and you can't sleep at night. and particularly with flats in london, you are having to make a judgment between do i leave the windows open and not sleep because it's noisy, or do i close the windows and not sleep because i'm overheating? another risk is more landslides, like this one last year. so what's the government's response? it says the uk is a world leader in tackling climate change and that

it's planning does take account of the latest science. but it also says it will study what the report has to say. david shukman, bbc news. we mention this at the beginning of the week. i was not on on monday. i'm sorry. i was here. i was working. we were talking about... the famous vanishing bikini worn by dame barbara windsor in the film �*carry on camping'. it has sold for around ten times more than its original estimate. when it went under the hammer at auction, it sold for £9,500. the proceeds will go to the alzheimer's society in memory of dame barbara, who died last year aged 83. there you got. i enjoyed it so much, iforgot there you got. i enjoyed it so much, i forgot you were not here.

contactjon see if he remembers monday. good morning. carol was here. i was actually working for this programme for next week. so you say. what have you got? good morning. today, it is going to be hot. for some 10 degrees above average. sunny spells in the south—east but we have seen rain in northern ireland and scotland overnight and some of it has been heavy. there is a weather front moving south and ahead of it dry weather, sunshine to start the day, and mild where ever you are. the fog will lift in the south and you can see the rain in parts of northern ireland and southern scotland. north of that, showers knocking around. through the day, here comes the weather front. weakening all the time. the rain lighter in nature. showers in the north and west where it will be

breezy. but humidity rising in the south as will the temperature with a high of 29, potentially 30. if we hit 30, it will make it the hottest day of the year so far. into the evening, the first signs of things coming our way evening, the first signs of things coming ourway in evening, the first signs of things coming our way in the channel islands. we have heavy, thundery downpours coming our way and some of them getting as far west as potentially east wales but they could lead to issues with flash flooding. i will have more on that in about half an hour. british farmers say they�*re worried that the uk's trade deal with australia could mean they're undercut on price and welfare standards. the deal is the first bespoke agreement since the uk left the eu, but the full details still haven't been released. nina is on a sheep farm in lancashire for us this morning. good morning. yes, good morning. i

am in an area of outstanding beauty, the forest of boland. we are near the forest of boland. we are near the top of pendle hill. at the bottom is a village. you might ask why it is about a sheep farm in lancashire is worried about a trade deal signed in downing street. thomas, we will talk to him in a minute. but let's look at the trade deal. the government has promised it will be cheaper for british business to sell to australia, things like cars, whiskey, biscuits, things like ceramics and they say it will provide a boost to the uk economy. meanwhile, they say there is a cap on tariff free trade coming into the uk so farmers will be protected and

supported when it comes to exported. bringing in australian wine, swimwear, sweets, about £34 million a year will be saved but the deal is only worth about 0.02% of the uk economy. not a lot of money. advocates say it is the symbolism of it and could be a gateway to bigger deals with the asia—pacific region. farmers in australia say there is enough business to go around and farmers here do not have much to worry about. we farmers here do not have much to worry about-— farmers here do not have much to worry about. we take a little bit of work from the _ worry about. we take a little bit of work from the eu. _ worry about. we take a little bit of work from the eu. i _ worry about. we take a little bit of work from the eu. i believe - worry about. we take a little bit of work from the eu. i believe our i work from the eu. i believe our product will be a point of difference that it is from australia. not everyone will want it. the product will be a little bit more expensive. we will not be flooding the uk market, i cannot see that happening. there is a shortage of protein around the world and

there is enough to go around. enough to go around is the claim from australia. we can talk to thomas. we heard from an australian farmer there is enough to go around. you have no need to worry. i farmer there is enough to go around. you have no need to worry.— you have no need to worry. i think a lot of detailed _ you have no need to worry. i think a lot of detailed needs _ you have no need to worry. i think a lot of detailed needs to _ you have no need to worry. i think a lot of detailed needs to come - you have no need to worry. i think a lot of detailed needs to come out i lot of detailed needs to come out about the deal struck with australia. some of the language we are hearing is there are huge volumes that could come onto the uk market. i think the worry is this trade deal sets a precedent for other deals, particularly around the tpp group of 11 countries. and as a farmer on the ground it seems that agriculture and the trade in food has been thrown under the bus with respect to securing trade deals. there has also been concern from the veterinary association about the

tracking of animal welfare. we have had hue tracking of animal welfare. we have had huge concern _ tracking of animal welfare. we have had huge concern since _ tracking of animal welfare. we have had huge concern since we - tracking of animal welfare. we have had huge concern since we have - tracking of animal welfare. we havej had huge concern since we have left europe about trade deals with other countries and their standards. not only on animal welfare but environmental protection. we have some of the highest in the world in the uk. these trade deals open the gates to other products, not to those standards.— gates to other products, not to those standards. . ., , , , those standards. important to stress we do not know _ those standards. important to stress we do not know the _ those standards. important to stress we do not know the details _ those standards. important to stress we do not know the details when - those standards. important to stress we do not know the details when it l we do not know the details when it comes to the farming and chemicals used and welfare of animals, but one would argue in a post—brexit britain, we have to start making deals like this. it is important to families who buy your lamb on a sunday. it families who buy your lamb on a sunda . , , , sunday. it is right but it is throu~h sunday. it is right but it is through sustainable - sunday. it is right but it is| through sustainable supply sunday. it is right but it is - through sustainable supply chains and we have that in the uk with sustainable beef and lamb production. renowned for quality. you can have standards and environmental protection, we have it in the uk. we environmental protection, we have it in the uk. ~ . . . , in the uk. we will await the details ofthe in the uk. we will await the details

the magical work of the sheep there you go. look at that, in 30 seconds. going to the right place. shall we get rid of the rest of the programme and watch this! that is incredible. he knew that live drone sheepdog television would be so captivating. there was a programme, it has been done before. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph claims that government ministers will be advised against starting to vaccinate children until scientists gather more data on the risks. there's also a picture from day one of royal ascot. the metro leads on the promise from nhs england boss sir simon stevens that all over—18s in england should be able to book a first covid vaccine by the end of the week. the guardian's front page is about the metropolitan police. the force was branded

"institutionally corrupt" in a report over its handling of the unsolved murder of daniel morgan — a private investigator who was killed in 1987. here's a story from the bbc news website about an egyptian vulture that has been seen in the uk for the first time in 150 years. it's thought it may have come to the isles of scilly from northern france. bird—watchers are expected to flock to the isles for a chance to spot it before it moves on. around 145,000 people are living with parkinson's in the uk. despite years of research, it's a disease that has no cure. 0ne family impacted by the condition is the tindalls. former england rugby player mike tindall�*s dad has been living with parkinson's for nearly 20 years. sally went along with mike as he went to visit his parents in yorkshire for the first time this year.

today, 14th ofjune, i'm hoping, because it is my dad's birthday, so i'm going to go up north and it will be at least probably six months ago since i last saw them. get back, see how he is, see if anything's changed. whether his symptoms have got slightly worse. the old boy — give him a hug for his birthday. it's a manly knocker. hello. are you all right? yeah, fine. i how are you? i'm all right. good. oh, it's good to see you. all reet, father? hello, mike. i've brought you a very, very chocolatey chocolate cake. because i know that diet is your key. all right? thanks. are you wobbly today? yes, i'm wobbly today.

a bit wibbly—wobbly? bit wibbly—wobbly, yeah. i all right? yeah, not bad. how is everything else? did you jig jog? been out for your run this morning? me and holly have been out for a walk. been round the block. she dragged along, yeah? things not kicking in very well today. they haven't done today, no. that's how we go. get anotherjab in you. pincushion you. i had another before you came in. could be a little more lively than otherwise. mike, we are at your mum and dads house. yeah. thanks for inviting us in. tell me about your dad and the situation he is in at the moment. so he's had parkinson's disease for, i think, probably 20 years, but he has officially known since 2003, just before we went out to the world cup. commentator: and they burst into song once again. _ it didn't really dawn on me

what parkinson's was. if you looked at people who were prevalent with parkinson's at that time, you would say muhammad ali. and you looked at my dad, and looked at muhammad ali, and, well, is not the same person, surely it's not the same disease. and then life went on. i was 25, rugby was going really well. you focused on that. and when we got married in 2011, you could see the effects were starting to grow on him in terms of curvature of the spine. he had to have surgery on that. and then slowly, over the past ten years, there have been loads of other problems that have come across because of it. what lockdown has done is, when you don't see someone for such a long period of time, then you sometimes miss what gradually appears. push, push. he would love to play more with the grandkids, he would love to be able to pick them up, throw them around. 48 out. one has got one on, so three.

he's having a lot more jabs. he doesn't sleep well at night. he doesn't really take part in a lot of the day. - he's asleep during the day? yes, he sleeps in the day and then doesn't sleep at night. _ and that's when, then, you get...upset. - well, not upset, but anxious a bit. uncomfortable. i can't move very well. your body is like a dead weight. you're reaching for the light. and you're reaching for your bottles. because i can't get out to go to the loo. and so it'sjust a matter of fighting. you're fighting. yeah, yeah. when you say, phil, that you didn't maybe want to accept it,

what do you mean by that? well, i don't like the thought that i have got an incurable condition and that i'm going to gradually get worse and worse and worse. because i was one who always liked my fitness and conditioning. i was the one who wouldn't drop the ball, i would always catch the ball. and this is now not happening. i was beginning to fumble things. that isn't me. i didn't think it was me. when you got to that moment where the doctor told you what it was, what was that moment like for both of you? you reacted differently to me, didn't you? yeah, icried. ldid~ - quite a lot. but then, you know, you just have to get on with it, don't you? - you can't cry for ever more. what have you found hardest? has it noticeably got worse in the 18 months? we've just been bored, haven't we?

is it hard having conversation with him? you've made 50 years together but you've never spent this much time together! it's very difficult, sometimes. as i say, if he doesn't sleep - at night, he sleeps most of the day. always a way of avoiding conversation, isn't there? what do you most want to keep on doing? to feel i'm contributing something, notjust a lump in the corner, shaking on a chair. you know, being an active guy. if there is a ball about i'll kick it, i'll play with it. i miss the fact that i can't do it with the grandchildren as i would like to do. that's what i really wish. how much do you think about the future? even if there was a cure tomorrow, it's not going to change my dad's life.

that is some of the reason why i try to do what i do now, because men are men and they do take a long time to go and see a doctor, they don't like talking about things. but what you ultimately don't want is for... you would never want a young son or daughter to go to watch the idol who was the sporty idol i wanted to be, go from where he wants to be and where he is now. he knows that that is not quite there any more. and that is ultimately what i would like to try and be involved in, that we can stop that from happening. lovely seeing them together. mike is a patron of the your parkinson's charity and we will speak to a trustee of the charity at 8am. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc

london, i'm alpa patel. the mayor of london is warning that reducing financial support at the end ofjune will have a calamitous blow on businesses. sadiq khan is urging ministers to extend the support until restrictions are completely lifted. figures show that around a quarter of hospitality venues still remain shut while restrictions continue. the rail minister says the industry has to work hard to attract commuters back on the trains. since the pandemic many commuters have worked from home and the train companies have been funded by the taxpayer. as passengers return, the government says flexible season tickets and better stations and rolling stock will be needed. many parents now mark milestones in their baby's early life with cards or other mementos, but what if you can't find cards that represent your baby's cultural heritage? well, one mum from south east london has created her own. deborah ajaja has now sold her cards around the world.

what did exist was targeted or tailored towards babies with like blonde hair or blue eyes, and children come in all colours, shapes and sizes, right? so it's actually important not to shy away from it or to say, oh, it doesn't exist, but actually to celebrate it. let's celebrate and honour what makes us beautifully different. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there's a good service across all lines. 0n the trains, delays and cancellations on south western railway, between waterloo and wimbledon due to overrunning engineering works. 0n the roads, nine elms lane is closed westbound at wandsworth road and ponton road due to an ongoing incident. 0n the m25, one lane is closed on the clockwise entry slip road atj23 for south mimms due to a collision. the south circular is down to 1 lane westbound by honor 0ak rd due to a burst water main. now the weather with

elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday, it felt cooler, today we return to the hot and humid conditions. it has been a mild start to the morning. early mist is limited. lots of blue sky and sunshine for the rest of the day. the winds are light. the uv levels and pollen levels are both very high, and temperatures could get as high as 29, even 30 celsius once more. the day before yesterday was just shy of 30 degrees in teddington, of course. was just shy of 30 degrees so a very warm feeling day, feeling rather humid. this evening and overnight, there is a met office weather warning in force for thunderstorms. that is valid right through to the end of the day on thursday. some torrential downpours, possibly, and also some lightning and thunder. these storms are going to track their way northwards overnight tonight. not everywhere will see them but you've got a good chance of seeing some heavy, thundery showers. it's going to feel warm, sticky and uncomfortable for sleeping, too. so it is a very mild start to the day on thursday. the thundery showers will continue for a time. again, feeling mild

and rather humid. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. coming up on breakfast this morning. we just saw a little bit a few moments ago. we go home with ex england rugby player mike tindall, as he visits his dad who has parkinson's. the family tell us about the impact of living with the condition and the difficulties of the pandemic. james mcavoy and sharon horgan will speak to us about their new film, dramatising marital life in lockdown, for one couple on the brink. i think we should call it marital strife! and eastenders star adam woodyatt willjoin us just after nine,

to talk about leaving the square and returning to the stage, after nearly 40 years. as we've been hearing this morning, covid vaccinations are to become compulsory for care home workers in england, with staff expected to be given 16 weeks to have the jab. consultations will also begin on the same rule for other health care workers. let's talk now to this morning's gp, dr mohit mandiratta. good morning, good to speak to you, thank you very much indeed. what do you think about this idea that coronavirus vaccines will be mandatory?— coronavirus vaccines will be mandatory? coronavirus vaccines will be mandato ? . ~ mandatory? good learning. i think it is a delicate — mandatory? good learning. i think it is a delicate topic. _ mandatory? good learning. i think it is a delicate topic. we _ mandatory? good learning. i think it is a delicate topic. we saw _ mandatory? good learning. i think it is a delicate topic. we saw the - is a delicate topic. we saw the impact particularly on care home staff, we saw the devastating impact of the pandemic early on last year in march and april, we know that age

is the biggest factor in covid and lives lost so that is the vaccination programme focusing on the oldest group because they are the oldest group because they are the most vulnerable. part of that is vaccinating them. i have been vaccinated with both doses, i know all of my friends and colleagues in the nhs have as well. from that perspective we would want everybody vaccinated who is working with these at—risk groups. however obviously we want to respect patient choice and autonomy, and we always want to do that as medical professionals. i find it difficult to say that things will be compulsory or mandatory, i think more important, we found is we have been trying to tackle hesitancy and complacency, the data is out there, everyone can see how safe and effective vaccines are. so for me it is more about exploring why they have not had the vaccine and often that takes one—to—one conversations because the decision can be very personal. i do want everybody vaccinated but it has to be quite

after drawing with switzerland in their opening match, wales face turkey tonight, and a win could put them on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages, but it won't be straightforward as hywel griffith reports. bound by a border and the blood of millions, azerbaijan and turkey see each other as two states of one nation. it means 30,000 turkish fans will be here in baku for the game, outnumbering the welsh supporters by 100 to one. they'll be very, very vocal, i'm sure. and you've got the turkey president coming over as well, and the azerbaijan president, so they'll want to put a good show on for them. we just sing as loud as we possibly can and we hope the players can hear us that we have a good time and that's all that matters. sing the welsh national anthem as loud as we possibly can. wales weren't on song for their opening draw against switzerland. the players know they'll face a wall of noise tonight. we're used to playing in away games and being in front of hostile crowds so it's something that we enjoy doing. if anything, it kind of spurs us

on to be a bit more, i guess, a bit more ruthless on the pitch. and there couldn't be much more at stake. a win for wales should secure their place in the next round. but lose to turkey, and wales would have to beat italy in rome to stay in the tournament. bucket hats in baku have helped keep off the heat, and some of the pressure. tactically tonight could be a terse, tense affair. we're hard to beat. we have only lost once in our last 14 competitive games. we're hard to break down, we don't concede too many goals, but we don't score enough goals. that's the problem that we have at the minute. moore, yes! kieffer moore for wales! more of this would certainly help keep welsh hopes alive, as they take another big step on the european journey. hywel griffith, bbc news, baku. meanwhile, the excitement is building toward's friday's game at wembley

between england and scotland. after beating croatia in their opening game, england will take a huge step towards reaching the knockout stages if they make it two wins from two but defender tyrone mings isn't thinking that far ahead. the mood is relatively stable at all times. i think for longevity it's important not to get too high after wins, or beat yourself up too much after losses. so, yeah, it was the first game and it was a really important win but it hasn't changed the camp too much. after losing their opening match, scotland need a good result at wembley. their manager steve clark says his squad remain optimistic. boys are fine, boys are good. completely relaxed, know what they have to do. we said before, we need to get the points required to get out of the group, we've still got a chance to do that, so. i think rather that all the doom and gloom that followed the result, not the performance,

the result, should be put away, put to one side and we just concentrate on the next game. as well as wales, there are two more matches today. italy face switzerland and finland face russia. last night france won the much anticipated group f opening game against germany. an own goal from matt hummels sealing a 1—0 win for the world champions, who also had two goals disallowed for offside. before the game a protester parachuted into the stadium. it all went quickly wrong though as he got caught in the wiring for a camera above the pitch. he was able to land safely on the pitch and nobody was hurt. the loudest noise of the tournament so far has come in budapest where a full capacity crowd watched hungary play the defending champions portugal. cristiano ronaldo's side left it late to start their euros with a victory. three goals in the last seven minutes sealed a 3—0 win,

with ronaldo scoring his 11th goal at a euros, that's more than anyone else. with wimbledon just around the corner, two british players have enjoyed a good start to their grass court season. dan evans is through to round two of queen's after beating alexei popyrin. and andy murray is also through beating frenchman benoit paire in straight sets. it's murray's first singles win on grass for three years. and he was, understandably, a bit emotional. sorry, yeah, obviously, competing is where you put in all the hard work and in the last few years, i've not got to do that as much as i would have liked, so, yeah, just great that i'm out here and able to compete again. racing welcomed back its biggest crowd in 15 months at ascot. the prince of wales was among the 12,000 spectators in for the pomp and ceremony of racing's biggest event on the flat racing calendar. frankie dettori was in action on the first day and he won

the queen anne stakes, on board palace pier. the date has been set for the third fight between tyson fury and deontay wilder as the british boxer puts his world heavyweight belt on the line. the pair will meet in las vegas onjuly 24th. after winning the previous bout, fury had been set to fight anthonyjoshua in a world heavyweight unification fight. but that fell through after fury was ordered to fight wilderfor a third time. as if the sporting summer wasn't busy enough, another date for your diary, july 24. 50 busy enough, another date for your diary. july 21n— busy enough, another date for your diary, july 24. so much to watch and look forward — diary, july 24. so much to watch and look forward to, _ diary, july 24. so much to watch and look forward to, thank _ diary, july 24. so much to watch and look forward to, thank you _ diary, july 24. so much to watch and look forward to, thank you very - look forward to, thank you very much. �* , ., . , much. let's find out what is happening _ much. let's find out what is happening with _ much. let's find out what is happening with the - much. let's find out what is| happening with the weather. much. let's find out what is i happening with the weather. i much. let's find out what is - happening with the weather. i had to have the factor 30 on yesterday. and have the factor 30 on yesterday. and it was the have the factor 30 on yesterday. fific it was the most beautiful have the factor 30 on yesterday. fific it was the most beautiful sunrise this morning. lots going on. including a bit of lightning. good morning, everybody. into the

night and into the next few days and nights, we are looking at some thunderstorms. some of them could be torrential, leading to some flash flooding, and potentialfor 50 flooding, and potential for 50 millimetres, flooding, and potentialfor 50 millimetres, two inches of rain in a few hours from some of the bigger storms. they bear in mind over the next few days and nights. we have a system coming up from spain and france which will eventually move across our shores particularly part of england, possibly east wales. we have a weak weather front sinking south, not weak at the moment but will become weaker through the day, some heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland but you can see how it becomes a band of cloud with some patchy light rain on it. it is also the demarcation line between the hot and humid air in the south the fresher air across the north. in the north, temperatures today will be between 14 and 18 degrees, but if you are of the royal ascot or queens

today, the humidity levels are rising through the day as indeed is the temperature. we could hit 29 or 30 degrees in london. that would make it the warmest day of the year so far. this evening and overnight, here come the thunderstorms, moving up here come the thunderstorms, moving up from the english channel, pushing across central, eastern and southern parts of england. it could get as far as east wales as well and some of them could be torrential. it will not be as humid in the west and north as it is across the south. tomorrow we start with thunderstorms, eventually drifting off into the north sea. as they moved west, brighter skies, variable cloud and sunshine. still humid with this cloud across the south of england, highs of 20 to 23 degrees. into friday, more systems coming up because the english channel, across parts of central and eastern

england, possibly as far as east wales, they could be torrential and thundery. still the feeling humid and all of this. it will feel much better in the north and west, some sunshine and feeling pleasant. into saturday, things settle down, more dry weather, a few showers knocking around. it will not feel as humid as it will do in the next few days in the south—east. for sunday we do it all again, the south—east. for sunday we do it allagain, more rain the south—east. for sunday we do it all again, more rain moving northwards, meeting more rain coming from the atlantic and some of this could prove to be on the thundery side as well. temperatures 12 to 21. it is a real mix in the weather. medical cannabis was legalised in the uk three years ago, but since then only three people have been prescribed it on the nhs, leaving thousands more to pay

for the drug privately. today, families are heading to downing street to ask the government to make the drug easier to access. among them is nine—year—old thomas, whose brother eddie has severe epilepsy. ellie price reports. dear prime minister, my brother eddie has really bad epilepsy. my mum and dad try their hardest for me and eddie. tom only took three goes to write out his letter neat enough for the prime minister. he is nine, though keen to point out he'll be ten next month. and he's got a lot on his mind. getting a prescription from the nhs would help them a lot. please support my family and all the other families. yours sincerely, thomas brown. i'm feeling excited to hopefully, maybe, help the solution to get eddie to live a better life and i'm feeling quite nervous as well. because i feel like there is pressure for me on trying to help eddie.

i want to only do the best for my brother my family, and i need to do things that are probably out of my comfort zone but i should do them to help eddie. eddie was born with brain damage following a rare genetic mutation. he has cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and severe complex epilepsy, and it's for that he takes medicinal cannabis. he is six tomorrow, and has been on the drug since early 2017. it's not an nhs prescription, so it costs the family £780 a month. we have been lucky, we've had friends do some crazy events and raise money for us but covid has obviously hugely affected that. you know, some of the other families we know, they've run out of money already, their kids are no longer on the product that was helping them and are doing worse for it. you know, they're back in hospital, they're back having lots of seizures. another family have sold the family home.

so it's a very, very real crisis that we are all facing. we can't maintain private prescriptions and we need the government to act now to help us. thomas, can you pack your bag, please? the law was changed three years ago to allow nhs doctors to prescribe medical cannabis. but campaigners sayjust three nhs prescriptions have been issued. leaving thousands of families to pay for the drug privately. and that's why tom and his mum are off to downing street to ask the prime minister personally for help. ready, coming. i want eddie tojust be happy and healthy and enjoy his life, and i want thomas to be able to live a life where he doesn't have to see this. and we don't want the added worry of, will we run out of money next month? thomas has suggested doing fundraising events with his friends, which, again, it's a lovely incredible thing, but he is nine years old, he shouldn't be thinking about things like that. the department of health told us...

uh—oh, no sleep means daddy's in trouble later. this family say they have that clear evidence, and hope the prime minister will agree. ellie price, bbc news. good morning, it is 6:51am. cats stuck up trees are the typical animal rescue for the fire brigade but what about a call to free a hamsterfrom the kitchen sink? theo spent 24 hours stuck in the pipes and was eventually saved by west yorkshire fire and rescue, using a fishing net, a tiny camera and a balloon. theo the escape artistjoins us now alongside his owners, mum lisa and 8—year—old george. very happy george, good morning.

thank you for being with us this morning. lisa, took us through what happened to theo, what was going on? i put him into his exercise ball on a tuesday evening when george was in bed, and he managed to get out while he was in the kitchen, and he climbed under the kitchen unit. i realised he was down there because we could hear him scratching around. it turned out he had crawled down the cold water pipe. he was stuck down there. i had no idea at the time how far down it was, we were trying all sorts, making little rope ladders to try and climb out. the only way we could see how far down he was was to put a phone across and take a picture. we could hear him scratching down there. i put ladders down there until 1am to try and encourage him to come out but he

had to get him out the way he had gone in. so we cut a hole in the kitchen unit, and we were then just basically looking around the house and the garage trying to find things to get him outwith. we tried one of george's fishing nets, we cut it up and filled it with feed in the hope that we could tempt him in and fished him out but that didn't work either so in the end of one of the fire crew came up with the balloon. it's amazing, and you can see, he's such a mesmerising, watching him, he's such an active little hamster. george, you must be very happy, and they gave you a present as well, didn't they?— they gave you a present as well, didn't they?- yeah, - they gave you a present as well, didn't they?- yeah, we - they gave you a present as well, didn't they? yeah. yeah, we went down yesterday — didn't they? yeah. yeah, we went down yesterday to _ didn't they? yeah. yeah, we went down yesterday to give _ didn't they? yeah. yeah, we went down yesterday to give them - didn't they? yeah. yeah, we went down yesterday to give them a present but they won't end there were going down tomorrow to meet them in person. then;r were going down tomorrow to meet them in person-— them in person. they might be watchin: them in person. they might be watching this _ them in person. they might be watching this morning - them in person. they might be watching this morning so - them in person. they might be watching this morning so what| them in person. they might be - watching this morning so what would you like to say to the firefighters

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. the mayor of london is warning that reducing financial support at the end ofjune will have a calamitous blow on businesses. sadiq khan is urging ministers to extend the support until restrictions are completely lifted. figures show that around a quarter of hospitality venues still remain shut while restrictions continue. the rail minister says the industry has to work hard to attract commuters back on the trains. since the pandemic, many commuters have worked from home and the train companies have been funded by the taxpayer. the minister says incentives are now in place to try and win commuters back. this is the first time that the rail industry has had to win its customers back. so we've got flexible season tickets we're offering for sale next monday, for use from the 28th ofjune, lots of other products, making stations nicer, cleaner, brighter, safer. many parents now mark milestones

in their baby 5 early life with cards or other mementos, but what if you can tfind cards that represent your baby 5 cultural heritage? well, one mum from southeast london has created her own. deborah ajaja has now sold her cards around the world what did exist was targeted or tailored towards babies with like blonde hair or blue eyes, and children come in all colours, shapes and sizes, right? so it's actually important not to shy away from it or to say, oh, it doesn't exist, but actually to celebrate it. let's celebrate and honour what makes us beautifully different. let's take a look at the travel situation now... 0n the tube — there's a good service across all lines. 0n the trains, delays and cancellations on south western railway between waterloo and wimbledon due to over running engineering works. 0n the roads, nine elms lane is closed westbound at wandsworth road and ponton road due to an ongoing incident. 0n the m25 — one lane is closed on the clockwise entry slip road atj23 for south mimms

due to a collision now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday, it felt cooler, today we return to the hot and humid conditions. it has been a mild start to the morning. early mist has lifted. lots of blue sky and sunshine for the rest of the day. the winds are light. the uv levels and pollen levels are both very high, and temperatures could get as high as 29, even 30 celsius once more. the day before yesterday was just shy of 30 degrees in teddington, of course. so a very warm feeling day, feeling rather humid as well. this evening and overnight, there is a met office weather warning in force for thunderstorms. that is valid right through to the end of the day on thursday. some torrential downpours, possibly, and also some lightning and thunder. these storms are going to track their way northwards overnight tonight. not everywhere will see them but you've got a good chance of seeing some heavy, thundery showers. it's going to feel warm, sticky

and uncomfortable for sleeping, too. so it is a very mild start to the day on thursday. the thundery showers will continue for a time. again, feeling mild and rather humid. i'm back in half an hour. now though it's back to dan and louise. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today. covid vaccinations are to be made compulsory for care home staff in england. in an exclusive interview

with the bbc, the countess of wessex tells us how hard the royal family have been hit by the death of the duke of edinburgh. it was an �*oh, my god' moment. so i think they'll come and go. but you have to let them come and let them go. drink water, not coca—cola. cristiano ronaldo makes a stand against fizzy drinks. a big test for wales in the euros. they face turkey, who are expected to be roared on by 30,000 supporters in azerbaijan. did in azerbaijan. morning, we have had heavy rain across did morning, we have had heavy rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland and as it moves south through the day the rain will be lighter and ahead of it increasing humidity and high temperatures with thunderstorms to follow. all the details in about ten minutes.

good morning, it's wednesday 16th june. covid vaccinations are to be made compulsory for care home staff in england who work with older people. it's expected that workers will have 16 weeks to get a jab, or face losing theirjobs. ministers are said to be concerned about the low take—up of the jab in some areas, and consultations will also start on bringing in the same rule for other health and care staff. james reynolds reports. staff in adult care homes look after the people most likely to die from covid—19. more than 80% of workers have already been vaccinated. the rest now face a choice — get the jab or give up theirjob. the government says the move to make vaccination compulsory will save lives. it says there is precedent for this. surgeons, for example, are required to get the hepatitis b vaccine. but for some in the social care sector, an ultimatum

is simply too blunt. we absolutely agree — we would like to see everybody vaccinated to keep our workforce safe. that includes any visitors coming into our services, any professionals coming into our services. we would like to see everybody vaccinated. but we can't compel them to do it. it will be really worrying that they have been singled out, care homes have been singled out, and our staff have been singled out for this as a compulsory move. i think it should be rethought. but one organisation welcomes the move. in february, the barchester care group announced that it would make covid vaccination for its 17,000 staff compulsory. in the end, around 80 staff declined. they have now left theirjobs. we've had to make a choice between the rights of our residents to remain safe and as safe as possible, which is a legal obligation we have as a provider, and the individual rights of people's choice to choose not to have the vaccine.

of course, that is a balance and we have taken advice on it and thought about it long and hard. in the end, there is an overarching responsibility for us as a provider for the safety of our residents. care home staff are expected to be given 16 weeks to getjabbed. the government is also beginning a consultation into extending compulsory vaccinations to staff who work for the nhs. james reynolds, bbc news. we can speak now to our chief political correspondent adam fleming. let's talk about the idea that people in care homes will be forced to have vaccinations and there is a lot of talk about it.— lot of talk about it. some of the companies _ lot of talk about it. some of the companies that _ lot of talk about it. some of the companies that run _ lot of talk about it. some of the companies that run care - lot of talk about it. some of the companies that run care homes| lot of talk about it. some of the i companies that run care homes and some trade unions say would it be better to encourage people and make it easy for them to get the vaccine, rather than making it compulsory? but the government went down a

different route and point to data that shows you basically need 80% of the staff in a care home to be vaccinated to protect residents of that care home. that is data based on the first dose and might be different now people have had second doses, and also the delta variant is doing the rounds now. that is the governmentjustification doing the rounds now. that is the government justification and doing the rounds now. that is the governmentjustification and we expect the announcement to be made in the next couple of days. care home workers would have 16 weeks to get the jab. home workers would have 16 weeks to net the 'ab. �* ,., home workers would have 16 weeks to net the 'ab. ~ ,., ._ ., get the jab. also the delay to lockdown easing _ get the jab. also the delay to lockdown easing goes - get the jab. also the delay to lockdown easing goes before| lockdown easing goes before parliament today. the lockdown easing goes before parliament toda . ., . , parliament today. the government has to tweak the law _ parliament today. the government has to tweak the law so _ parliament today. the government has to tweak the law so the _ parliament today. the government has to tweak the law so the delay - parliament today. the government has to tweak the law so the delay to i to tweak the law so the delay to step four of the road map is legal in that will happen today with an amendment to the covid laws and voted on by mps. amendment to the covid laws and voted on by mp5. i have looked at the legislation published and it says the end date is midnight on the

18th ofjuly so therefore the government is putting the idea that borisjohnson said that this is the term of the state, the end, rather than the not before date, they are putting it into law. nevertheless there are conservative mps who will vote against this because they think the delay is being far too cautious and are worried that there will be further delays and something will come up in a few weeks. because labour are supporting it and the bulk of conservative mps, it will go through. it will be an opportunity for government critics to raise more concerns. . sophie, the countess of wessex, has reflected on the death of the duke of edinburgh in an emotional interview with naga, for her bbc radio 5 live programme. she was speaking ahead of the un's international day for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict. 0ur royal correspondent daniela relph has more. the countess of wessex spoke openly about her charity work, parenting teenagers and the death

of the duke of edinburgh. just before lockdown, she visited south sudan, to raise awareness of sexual violence against women living in conflict zones. it's a key part of her royal work. she praised the bravery of women who shared the brutality of their experience. when you hear somebody�*s story of gang rape and, literally, physically what has happened to them, it absolutely brings you to your knees. and i had tears falling off my face as she was talking to me. i was completely silent, but i was just in floods of tears. the countess also welcomed the increased openness amongst young women in the uk to discuss the sexual harassment and abuse they faced. she said it was something she had discussed with her 17—year—old daughter and valued the honest conversations they have as a family. she is actually quite aware of it, so we chat about it quite a lot, and particularly if i've been on a trip somewhere,

she wants to know where i've been and what i've been doing. so she has a natural curiosity about it, and it's easy to have that kind of conversation with her. she also spoke about the death of the duke of edinburgh and the impact of grief, especially those moments that catch you when you realise he isn't there. we were lucky enough to go to scotland for half—term. i don't know if you remember the photograph that i took. of the queen and the duke? yeah. i was pregnant with louise at the time. and we went up there during half—term. are you 0k? mm. and just to be there, in that place was an �*oh, my god' moment. so i think they'll come and go. but you have to let them come and let them go.

away from the sadder moments, the countess said she'd got fitter in lockdown, and the tv series she had binged over the past year — line of duty. daniela relph, bbc news. you can hear the full interview on bbc radio 5 live, from ten o'clock this morning. president biden and russian leader vladimir putin will meet for a summit in geneva later today, for the first time since mr biden's inauguration. both leaders say they hope the talks will lead to more stability. but, with relations between the two countries under severe strain, it's likely to be tense. israel says it has launched air strikes against hamas targets on the gaza strip in retaliation for incendiary balloons fired from the palestinian territory. it's the first major attack since 11 days of fighting between the two sides ended in a ceasefire last month. the uk is "shockingly unprepared" for the rising temperatures and extreme weather

caused by climate change. that's the warning to the government from environmental experts. the climate change committee is predicting more severe heatwaves and intense rainfall than previously thought. is the uk ready for more of this? floods, storms and other extremes. the government's climate advisers have assessed what's in store for us and they are worried. they reckon the country is not properly geared up for the hazards to come. with temperatures set to rise globally and in the uk, wildfires and heatwaves will become more common, and the advisers say this isn't something for the distant future, it's already happening here and now. we only have to look back to last summer, when we had six days in august when temperatures in the south—east were 10 degrees above normal.

that's extraordinary and that is impacts of climate change hitting us now in the uk. and it's going to get worse. they highlight met office projections for how the uk could heat up. first by 2050, in an optimistic scenario, and then by 2080, if iittle is done to stop the gases that are driving up temperatures. and this would affect everyone. power supplies could become more vulnerable, the advisers say, put at risk by more violent weather just when everyone will be relying on electricity for their cars. and homes across the country will also feel the heat, literally. never designed for temperatures on the scale forecast. and experts say many people are having trouble staying cool right now. most of the people who contact us, they are just at their wits' end. when it's in your home and you can't escape the heat and you can't sleep at night. and particularly with flats in london, you are having to make a judgment between do i leave the windows open and not sleep because it's noisy, or do i close the windows and not

sleep because i'm overheating? another risk is more landslides, like this one last year. so what's the government's response? it says the uk is a world leader in tackling climate change and that its planning does take account of the latest science. but it also says it will study what the report has to say. david shukman, bbc news. how do you feel about spiders? it depends. if you've got a phobia of spiders you might want to look away now. blankets of spider webs have covered bushland in australia's state of victoria, after heavy rain and flooding hit the region. the spooky veil covers shrubs, grass and road signs, showing their attempt to flee the floodwaters and seek refuge on higher ground.

i hope we gave you enough warning. there are millions of spiders. i read an article about it. each single one of those strands is from a different spider because those spiders do not spin webs but shoot them up from the ground which is what they are doing, trying to get off the ground. that does not help anybody at all. i still have issues with arachnophobia. remember that? good morning. good morning, everybody. latertoday good morning. good morning, everybody. later today and into tomorrow for time and the ensuing couple of nights and days, we are looking at thunderstorms. they are likely to produce torrential rain, flash flooding is possible. we could see 50 millimetres, two inches, in a few hours from those storms. this

morning we have a weather front producing heavy rain overnight in scotland and northern ireland and as it moves south and east, the rain will turn lighter. north of its sunshine and showers. to the south, increasing humidity and temperatures. we could hit 29, possibly 30 somewhere in the southeast this afternoon. you can see where we have the cloud. northern ireland and the rest of scotland, brighter skies and sunshine and it will feel pleasant. this evening and overnight, here come the thunderstorms across the english channel and affecting central, southern and eastern england. they could get as far as eastern parts of wales. they will be hit and miss but some will be torrential. it will feel humid in this area. as we move north, it will be fresher and there will be clear

skies around with an overnight temperature between 9—12. some of you may have seen this viral moment yesterday involving footballer cristiano ronaldo and a couple of bottles of coca—cola, at euro 2020. during a press conference ahead of the ga,e against hungary, the portuguese striker replaced the fizzy drinks with water, sparking a conversation aboutjunk food sponsorship in major sports. joining us now is forest green rovers' chairman dale vince, whose club doesn't accept this type of sponsorship. and tv doctor chris van tulleken. good morning. doctor chris, seeing him do this was quite a big moment in some ways? i him do this was quite a big moment in some ways?— in some ways? i think it revealed two things. _ in some ways? i think it revealed two things. the _ in some ways? i think it revealed two things, the power— in some ways? i think it revealed two things, the power of - in some ways? i think it revealed two things, the power of these i two things, the power of these athletes to change the minds particularly of young people. he wiped $4 billion off the value of

means these products, we are saturated in them, they are marketed aggressively to children, and we are unaware of them because the packets don't say what they are. i would totally dispute that as evidence by the fact that coca—cola is put in front of cristiano ronaldo at the press conference.— front of cristiano ronaldo at the press conference. some might say it is down to our— press conference. some might say it is down to our individual— is down to our individual responsibility. parental responsibility. parental responsibility. i see you shaking your head. ibis responsibility. i see you shaking your head-— responsibility. i see you shaking ourhead. a . your head. as dale vince has said about the cigarette _ your head. as dale vince has said about the cigarette industry, i your head. as dale vince has said about the cigarette industry, the l about the cigarette industry, the industry needs regulation. at the moment, the food industry, i think the comparison is something like we are where we were with cigarettes in the 19505. imagine being a smoker in the 19505. imagine being a smoker in the 19505. imagine being a smoker in the 19505 trying to quit, it would be next to impossible with everybody smoking around you on planes, cars to work, re5taurant5. we will move i think in the next ten to 20 years we

will move to an environment and we have to do this because these foods, like coca—cola, are linked notjust to obesity but undernutrition and to climate change. there is a triple pandemic, synergistic pandemic that is happening. the good news, if we regulate tho5e foods, we also increase nutrition as people achieve increa5e nutrition as people achieve healthy weight and limit the effect on the planet. i think it will happen fairly quickly and in ten years we will look back and go that was totally bizarre that coca—cola could sponsor the euro champion5hip5, that would be unthinkable. and we would have player5 unthinkable. and we would have players from forest green rovers representing all of the united kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken _ kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken of _ kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken of the _ kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken of the power i kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken of the power of i kingdom teams at the euros. doctor chris has spoken of the power of big j chris has spoken of the power of big companies and money they have. cri5tiano companies and money they have. cristiano ronaldo wa5 companies and money they have. cristiano ronaldo was once a sort of involved in advertising coca—cola.

compulsory vaccination could further deplete an already understaffed workforce. vic rayner is the chief executive of the national care forum and joins us now. good morning. we understand you were involved in the initial consultation process for this. what do you think about the detail and policy coming into force? i about the detail and policy coming into force? ~ . into force? i think the first thing to sa at into force? i think the first thing to say at the _ into force? i think the first thing to say at the moment _ into force? i think the first thing to say at the moment is - into force? i think the first thing to say at the moment is we i into force? i think the first thing to say at the moment is we do l into force? i think the first thing i to say at the moment is we do not know the detail or indeed when the policy is coming into force. it has not been shared with the sector. you are right, we responded to the consultation that came to a close in may. and we are waiting to hear what the government final responses. we are responding to news you have in relation to that compulsory vaccination.— relation to that compulsory vaccination. . . , ,. ,, ., vaccination. what is the discussion coin: vaccination. what is the discussion auoin on vaccination. what is the discussion going on in — vaccination. what is the discussion going on in your — vaccination. what is the discussion going on in your industry _ vaccination. what is the discussion going on in your industry about i vaccination. what is the discussion i going on in your industry about what we believe to be a 16 week window in

isn't involved in working those individuals. i think the consultation will suggest then for people unwilling to be vaccinated or do not wish to be vaccinated, they should be deployed somewhere else. that is really challenging for sector largely made up of small employers and do not have anywhere else for people to go. we need to be clear it is about people potentially no longer being able to work in the sector, which is probably one of the primary concerns. we did survey work with members and 96% of those feared they would lose some staff as a result of this, so it is a big impact. result of this, so it is a big im act. ., ., result of this, so it is a big imact. ., ., ' ~ result of this, so it is a big im act, ., ., ' ., ., result of this, so it is a big imact. ., ., ' ~ ., . impact. you quoted 96% who are concerned- _ impact. you quoted 96% who are concerned. 80% _ impact. you quoted 96% who are concerned. 80% of _ impact. you quoted 96% who are concerned. 80% of those - impact. you quoted 96% who are| concerned. 80% of those working impact. you quoted 96% who are i concerned. 80% of those working in your sector the belief is have already had the vaccine. do you think the scale of uptake and the 20% who have not, that seems to be what is driving the thought that

and a mandate is a blunt and difficult tool to wield. i imagine there is an _ difficult tool to wield. i imagine there is an ethical— difficult tool to wield. i imagine there is an ethical question i difficult tool to wield. i imagine there is an ethical question on | difficult tool to wield. i imagine i there is an ethical question on both sides. the question we have discussed, should someone be forced to choose between a job and jab and should residents be put at risk by staff who have chosen not to have a vaccination?— vaccination? that is part of the challenge- _ vaccination? that is part of the challenge. it _ vaccination? that is part of the challenge. it is _ vaccination? that is part of the challenge. it is a _ vaccination? that is part of the challenge. it is a complex i challenge. it is a complex discussion and that was reflected in views from members, many of whom supported the proposal, and those who did not. it is complicated and we are working hard with those staff in order to support them to get to a place where they are able to be vaccinated. we know some of the things that work. part of the challenge. we know information works and peer support works and bringing vaccination into homes and enabling people to have it there helps. the things we have tried and tested and

need to work with organisations to support them to be able to do that. the other thing is, we want to see the detail of this and what the government proposes to do in order to support that implementation. thank you. we will put some of those points to liz truss from the government in a couple of minutes. time now to get the news where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm alpa patel. the mayor of london is warning that reducing financial support at the end ofjune will have a calamitous blow on businesses. sadiq khan is urging ministers to extend the support until restrictions are completely lifted. figures show that around a quarter of hospitality venues still remain shut while restrictions continue. the rail minister says the industry has to work hard to attract

commuters back on the trains. since the pandemic many commuters have worked from home and the train companies have been funded by the taxpayer. the minister says incentives are now in place to try and win commuters back. we've got flexible seating tickets that we're offering for sale next monday, for use from the 28th ofjune. lots of other products, making stations nicer, cleaner, brighter, safer. young adults in parts of wokingham are being offered the chance of walk in appointments to get their covid vaccine. it's hoped it will attract more 18 to 24 year olds in the area, which is currently involved in surge testing to stop the spread of the delta variant. many parents now mark milestones in their baby's early life with cards or other mementos, but what if you can't find any that represent your baby's cultural heritage? well, one mum from south east london has created her own cards. deborah ajaja has now sold them around the world. what did exist was targeted or tailored towards babies

with like blonde hair or blue eyes, and children come in all colours, shapes and sizes, right? so it's actually important not to shy away from it or to say, oh, it doesn't exist, but actually to celebrate it. let's celebrate and honour what makes us beautifully different. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube there's a good service across all lines. 0n the trains, delays and cancellations on south western railway between waterloo and wimbledon due to overrunning engineering works. 0n the roads, nine elms lane is closed westbound at wandsworth road and ponton road due to an ongoing incident. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. yesterday, it felt cooler, today we return to the hot and humid conditions. it has been a mild start to the morning. early mist has lifted. lots of blue sky and sunshine for the rest of the day. the winds are light. the uv levels and pollen levels are both very high, and temperatures could get as high as 29, even 30 celsius once more.

the day before yesterday was just shy of 30 degrees in teddington, of course. so a very warm feeling day, feeling rather humid as well. this evening and overnight, there is a met office weather warning in force for thunderstorms. that is valid right through to the end of the day on thursday. some torrential downpours, possibly, and also some lightning and thunder. these storms are going to track their way northwards overnight tonight. not everywhere will see them but you've got a good chance of seeing some heavy, thundery showers. it's going to feel warm, sticky and uncomfortable for sleeping, too. so it is a very mild start to the day on thursday. the thundery showers will continue for a time. again, feeling mild and rather humid. i'm back in an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. let's get more on this morning's top

story now and the news that covid vaccinations are to become compulsory for care home workers in england. the trade secretary liz truss joins us now. good morning, thank you forjoining us. so much to talk to you about including the australian trade deal, we will come to that in a moment. let's talk about this first, covid vaccination compulsory for care home staff in england, do you think it is right to force people rather than encourage them to have their vaccine? �* . . . , encourage them to have their vaccine? �*, . ., , , encourage them to have their vaccine? . , , . vaccine? it's clearly very important that we protect _ vaccine? it's clearly very important that we protect vulnerable - vaccine? it's clearly very important that we protect vulnerable people | vaccine? it's clearly very important. that we protect vulnerable people in our care homes, we have been looking as a government about what more we can do in terms of making sure staff are vaccinated. it's obviously important that everybody gets vaccinated, it is key to dealing with covid, but also enabling us to open up the economy. we are currently consulting on the issue of care home staff and compulsory vaccination, and we will be responding to that consultation

what the jcvi have vaccinations to children, because of what thejcvi have been looking at. what can you tell us about that? fit what can you tell us about that? of course the government will look very closely at the jcvi recommendations, it is my understanding that they are not recommending the vaccination of underage —— under 18s, we will say more in due course. underage -- under18s, we will say more in due course.— underage -- under18s, we will say more in due course. let's talk about the trade deal, _ more in due course. let's talk about the trade deal, shall _ more in due course. let's talk about the trade deal, shall we? _ more in due course. let's talk about the trade deal, shall we? the - more in due course. let's talk about the trade deal, shall we? the prime minister said this is a big deal and all the rest of it, but looking at the figures, overall it would increase uk gdp by an estimated 0.0%. the people who say that isn't significant, what is your response? this is the first post—brexit trade deal we have negotiated from scratch, it is very important in terms of showing what the uk can do, we have achieved much better arrangements for british workers to work in australia including the under 35s for up to three years. we have all the rest removed on british products, whether it is on cars,

whiskey, —— all tariffs removed, whether it is because all whiskey, which is driving jobs across the uk. but it's also an important part of joining the transpacific partnership which is a free trade area of 500 million people. the analysis you created is a static analysis, it doesn't reflect the future growth we are likely to see, we are likely to see trade group with australia by 30% by 2030. it will be those market in the future in the asia pacific, whether it's vietnam or malaysia, that have growing demand for the kind of products britain cells, whether that's financial services, whether that's financial services, whether it's food and drink, whether it's cars. and what we're doing is putting britain in a really strong position to take future opportunities and have real access into those markets, and that will drive jobs and growth

into those markets, and that will drivejobs and growth in into those markets, and that will drive jobs and growth in the into those markets, and that will drivejobs and growth in the uk. australia is important in itself, they are long—standing allies, friends and family, this is about building a closer relationship. but it's also about getting a much machis —— largest lies in the fast—growing market in the asia pacific, and taking those opportunities that come from not being part of the european union. —— it is about getting a much larger slice. 50 it is about getting a much larger slice. ., . ., ., slice. so how close are you to caettin slice. so how close are you to getting deals _ slice. so how close are you to getting deals with _ slice. so how close are you to getting deals with those - slice. so how close are you to - getting deals with those countries? the new zealand trade minister is visiting this week and we are making good progress on that negotiation, we are shortly going to start negotiations with the overall transpacific group say we are making good progress. getting agreement in principle with australia is an important stepping stone to that broader pacific agreement.

have lost by leaving the eu single market? ~ ., ., ., i, , have lost by leaving the eu single market? ~ ., ., ., , market? i think that analysis is based on the _ market? i think that analysis is based on the world _ market? i think that analysis is based on the world as - market? i think that analysis is based on the world as it - market? i think that analysis is based on the world as it is - market? i think that analysis is | based on the world as it is now. market? i think that analysis is - based on the world as it is now. not the world as it is in 2030, 2040 or 2050. by 2030, 60 6% of the world was white middle class will be in a share. there will be much more opportunity to sell products into this bracket will be in asia. there will be much more opportunity to sell products into that market. what i'm doing is looking to the future, doing deals that are very strong in areas like digital services, the uk is already the second largest services exporter in the world. when you are selling service digitally, distance matters less. these opportunities in the asia pacific which are growing in the future will help drive our economy in ten or 20 years time and what i'm doing is laying the groundwork for their potential and that economic growth. one of the real concern is with this

deal comes from farmers, they have very stiff concerns, not least that they will be undercut on price because they will not be able to compete with an australian farmer. they have farms the size of, one is the size of israel. how do you guarantee they will not be undercut on price? i guarantee they will not be undercut on rice? , , , guarantee they will not be undercut on rice? ,, , ., ., on price? i dispute this idea that british farming _ on price? i dispute this idea that british farming can't _ on price? i dispute this idea that british farming can't compete. i on price? i dispute this idea that i british farming can't compete. we have just opened up the market for uk beef into america, we are selling into there, we seek rising growth in the asia—pacific region for british beef and lamb and our products are world class. people want to buy into our high standard and excellent taste, i don't buy the argument we cannot compete. what we are doing in this australia deal is giving australia the same access to our market in 15 years time that the eu has now. we are already importing 230 tonnes —— thousand tonnes of

beef from the eu, this deal gives australia the opportunity to export much less then we are currently bringing in from the eu. it's highly unlikely that any australian exports to the uk will replace other exports from places like the eu. flan to the uk will replace other exports from places like the eu.— from places like the eu. can i... the vast majority _ from places like the eu. can i... the vast majority of _ from places like the eu. can i... the vast majority of australian l from places like the eu. can i... i the vast majority of australian beef and lamb _ the vast majority of australian beef and lamb is destined for those asian markets _ and lamb is destined for those asian markets where prices are higher and there _ markets where prices are higher and there is_ markets where prices are higher and there is more opportunity. what markets where prices are higher and there is more opportunity.— there is more opportunity. what i want to do _ there is more opportunity. what i want to do is _ there is more opportunity. what i want to do is open _ there is more opportunity. what i want to do is open up _ there is more opportunity. what i want to do is open up those - there is more opportunity. what i i want to do is open up those markets for british beef and lamb producers because that is where the opportunities lie.- because that is where the opportunities lie. because that is where the o- ortunities lie. ., , , , opportunities lie. one of the issues raised over— opportunities lie. one of the issues raised over and _ opportunities lie. one of the issues raised over and over _ opportunities lie. one of the issues raised over and over again - opportunities lie. one of the issues raised over and over again by - raised over and over again by farmers is the very real concern about lower standards in farming. the use of hormones for example, pesticides which are banned, antibiotics as well. those will be given the same access to our market, they are very concerned about what they are very concerned about what they call much lower standards.

australia has some very high animal welfare standards and in fact in some cases they are higher standards than many eu cases where we already have a quota free tariff deal. i'm clear that we will not allow hormone injected beef into britain. that is already banned and it will stay banned, so we are not importing hormone injected beef. what banned, so we are not importing hormone injected beef. hormone in'ected beef. what about the fact hormone injected beef. what about the fact that _ hormone injected beef. what about the fact that chickens, _ hormone injected beef. what about the fact that chickens, the - hormone injected beef. what about the fact that chickens, the places i the fact that chickens, the places that they are looked after, there is a whole range of concerns from farmers about welfare.- a whole range of concerns from farmers about welfare. there is virtually no _ farmers about welfare. there is virtually no trade _ farmers about welfare. there is virtually no trade in _ farmers about welfare. there is virtually no trade in products i farmers about welfare. there is l virtually no trade in products like chicken because it's so far away. i think that is the key difference. at the moment we have quota free tariff free access for the eu, which is on our doorstep, australia is 9000 miles away. i don't think we are likely to see huge amounts of these products come in from australia. but what the australia deal does is it

gives british farmers the opportunity to access that much wider pacific market, where those opportunities are growing. liz truss, international trade secretary, thank you for your time on breakfast. we will be speaking to mark hughes in an hour, former wales striker, about that huge game. after drawing with switzerland in their opening match, wales face turkey tonight, and a win could put them on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages, but it won't be straightforward as hywel griffith reports. bound by a border and the blood of millions, azerbaijan and turkey see each other as two states of one nation. it means 30,000 turkish fans will be here in baku for the game, outnumbering the welsh supporters by 100 to one. they'll be very, very vocal, i'm sure. and you've got the turkey president

coming over as well, and the azerbaijan president, so they'll want to put a good show on for them. we just sing as loud as we possibly can and we hope the players can hear us and we have a good time and that's all that matters. sing the welsh national anthem as loud as we possibly can. wales weren't on song for their opening draw against switzerland. the players know they'll face a wall of noise tonight. we're used to playing in away games and being in front of hostile crowds so it's something that we enjoy doing. if anything, it kind of spurs us on to be a bit more, i guess, a bit more ruthless on the pitch. and there couldn't be much more at stake. a win for wales should secure their place in the next round. but lose to turkey, and wales would have to beat italy in rome to stay in the tournament. bucket hats in baku have helped keep off the heat, and some of the pressure. tactically tonight could be a terse, tense affair. we're hard to beat. we have only lost once in our last 14 competitive games. we're hard to break down,

we don't concede too many goals, but we don't score enough goals. that's the problem that we have at the minute. clipped in, moore, yes! kieffer moore for wales! more of this would certainly help keep welsh hopes alive, as they take another big step on the european journey. hywel griffith, bbc news, baku. as well as wales, there are two more matches today. italy face switzerland and finland face russia. last night france won their much anticipated group f opening game against germany. an own goalfrom mats hummels sealing a 1—0 win for the world champions who also had two goals disallowed for offside. before the game a protester parachuted into the stadium. it all went quickly wrong though as he got caught in the wiring for a camera above the pitch. he was able to [and safely on the pitch and nobody was hurt.

the loudest noise of the tournament so far came in budapest where a full stadium of fans watched hungary play the defending champions portugal. cristiano ronaldo's side left it late to start their euros with a victory. three goals in the last seven minutes sealed a 3—0 win, with ronaldo scoring his 11th goal at a euros, that's more than anyone else. with wimbledon just around the corner, two british players have enjoyed a good start to their grass court season. dan evans is through to round two of queen's after beating alexei popyrin. and andy murray is also through beating frenchman benoit paire in straight sets. it's murray's first singles win on grass for three years. afterwards he was, understandably, a bit emotional. sorry, yeah, obviously, competing is where you put in all the hard work and in the last few years, i've not got to do that as much

as i would have liked, so, yeah, just great that i'm out here and able to compete again. and finally, canada booked their place into the final stages of concacaf world cup qualifying for the first time since 1998 overnight by beating haiti but that is not necessarily what people have been left talking about. instead, it's this, their opening goal of their 3—0 victory was a gift. an absolute nightmare for the haitian keeper who missed a backpass twice before it ended up in the back of the net. a moment best forgotten for him. you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! i you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! lfeel— you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! ifeel bad! _ you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! i feel bad! we _ you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! i feel bad! we have _ you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! i feel bad! we have all- you need to keep watching. oh, no, don't! i feel bad! we have all had i don't! i feel bad! we have all had da s like don't! i feel bad! we have all had days like that. _ don't! i feel bad! we have all had days like that. it's _ don't! i feel bad! we have all had days like that. it's the _ don't! i feel bad! we have all had days like that. it's the fact - don't! i feel bad! we have all had days like that. it's the fact that i days like that. it's the fact that he has won _ days like that. it's the fact that he has won a — days like that. it's the fact that he has won a swipe _ days like that. it's the fact that he has won a swipe at - days like that. it's the fact that he has won a swipe at it - days like that. it's the fact that he has won a swipe at it and i days like that. it's the fact that - he has won a swipe at it and misses it, he goes to swipe again and it hits his standing leg. come on, let's have a look at this. b,

problems! good morning, lovely to speak to you. i don't know whether you saw that the goal for canada against haiti. i you saw that the goal for canada against haiti.— against haiti. i didn't, no, i didn't have _ against haiti. i didn't, no, i didn't have the _ against haiti. i didn't, no, i didn't have the vision - against haiti. i didn't, no, i didn't have the vision for i against haiti. i didn't, no, i. didn't have the vision for that. against haiti. i didn't, no, i- didn't have the vision for that. we know that wales need goals to date to try and get a draw in the opening game but an win is crucial in italy in the last game.— game but an win is crucial in italy in the last game. yes, we have two bi awa in the last game. yes, we have two big away games — in the last game. yes, we have two big away games now. _ in the last game. yes, we have two big away games now. as _ in the last game. yes, we have two big away games now. as your- in the last game. yes, we have two| big away games now. as your report said, this is a home game for turkey in a sense, 30,000 supporters, all of whom almost will be turkish, and then the italy game in rome. 50 it is tough. and wales have had a tough draw in that sense, england and scotland have home games, many teams have home games and wales not only not get any home games but they are completely the other side of europe playing. 50 it is tough on them but they are difficult to break down. it is a strong welsh team. even though

we haven't scored a huge amount we haven't scored a huge of is a strong welsh team. even though we haven't scored a huge of goals in the last few games we have been difficult to break down and we have not conceded many so we will see.

wales. and not only that, but i think with the wales team in the wales supporters, there is a very close bond between them. wales is a small enough country that there are always connections, ellis james wrote about this in the guardian, this week, there are connections between the squad and the players. one of the match day squad went to my school, ben davies, and joe rodon is from the part of swansea that i am from and i play cricket with his dad so that is how small wales is in terms of those connections. what dad so that is how small wales is in terms of those connections.- terms of those connections. what i like about watching _ terms of those connections. what i like about watching wales, - terms of those connections. what i like about watching wales, there i terms of those connections. what i j like about watching wales, there is nothing that quite a few managers are taking strikers out of the game but wales have the traditional big man up front in kieffer moore, and he is a target man who, as we saw in the first game, can make a difference.— the first game, can make a difference. ., ~ ., ,

sinks southwards and eastwards said the rain in it is turning lighter. and more patchy in nature. fresh conditions to the north of it and rising humidity in the south. 14 to 18 degrees in the north and west, in the south, up to 29 degrees, possibly 30 degrees. this evening and overnight, we will start to import those thunderstorms, but we also have high or very high levels of pollen today. the thunderstorms move across the english channel, coming in across central, southern and eastern parts of england, it could get as far west as east wales. not all of us will catch one. this is what we think will happen and it will be another muggy night. fresh conditions as we push towards the north and the west. we start tomorrow with thunderstorms moving away into the north see, leaving a

fair bit of cloud in their wake, humid in the southeast with one or two showers feeling pleasant in the west. 23 in london. overnight thursday into friday, we have rain once again coming in from the south—east, pushing across similar areas, it could get into central parts of england, as far west as parts of england, as far west as part of wales, and these other temperatures, 20 degrees, still feeling quite muggy. fresher, drier and sunnier in the north and west. saturday, a quieter day. the odd shower in the north, a lot of dry weather around, we will lose their immunity but that will not last and week are going to quickly show you —— we will lose the humidity but that will not last and we are going to show you some day, back into some heavy rain, moving north with rain in the west as well. some of it could potentially be thundery but it pulls away from the south—east and we will have highs of 21 degrees.

temperatures in lerwick, 12 degrees. these temperatures here, although they are 10 degrees lower for some of us than they are going to be today, it's closer to where it should be at this stage injune. the weather is all over the place for the next few days. thank you for the warning. nottingham castle is finally lowering its draw—bridge to the public again, after a £30 million refurbishment project which has taken three years to complete. the reopening has already been delayed multiple times because of the pandemic, but this morning our reporter geeta pendse is inside the grounds to show us around. good morning. good morning from a ve sunn good morning. good morning from a very sunny nottingham _ good morning. good morning from a very sunny nottingham castle. - good morning. good morning from a very sunny nottingham castle. as i good morning. good morning from a. very sunny nottingham castle. as you say, it has been closed, these grounds, for three years to the public because of major refurbishment. i wanted to give you a sense of how central because a list of the city centre, this is the

but you have to let them come and let them go. a new trade deal with australia. i am in the forest of bowland asking why the ink drying on downing street is going to impact these lambs in lancashire. there's a big test for wales in the euros later. they play turkey in azerbaijan. win, and they'll have a great chance of making the last 16. and we'll be joined by actors james mcavoy and sharon horgan, who are bringing the marital frustrations of lockdown to our screens. good morning, it's wednesday, 16thjune, our top story. covid vaccinations are to be made compulsory for care home staff in england who work with older people. it's expected that workers will have 16 weeks to get a jab, or face losing theirjobs. ministers are said to be concerned

about the low take—up of the jab in some areas, and consultations will also start on bringing in the same rule for other health and care staff. let's get more on this now with our social affairs correspondent alison holt. this is a controversial move, is it fair to say? it this is a controversial move, is it fair to say?— fair to say? it is fair to say that. there has _ fair to say? it is fair to say that. there has been _ fair to say? it is fair to say that. there has been resistance - fair to say? it is fair to say that. l there has been resistance within fair to say? it is fair to say that. - there has been resistance within the care sector because what they have argued is it is far better to persuade staff to have the jab and they feel that is generally working. they are balancing against that they need to protect vulnerable people and the government made it clear it sees vaccinations as the route out of the pandemic and to make it a priority to protect people who live in care homes. i understand ministers will say it should be compulsory for organisations running care homes for older people and only deployed staff will be vaccinated. unless they have a medical

exemption, anyone who refuses to have the jab within 16 weeks would have the jab within 16 weeks would have to be moved from the front line or lose theirjob. care organisations are worried this decision will increase staffing problems, and this is a sector that struggles to recruit already, particularly when you have small providers who cannot easily redeploy staff. according to the national care forum, that is a major concern. i think the consultation will suggest for people unwilling to be vaccinated or do not wish to be vaccinated _ vaccinated or do not wish to be vaccinated that they should be deployed somewhere else, so that is challenging for a sector that is largely— challenging for a sector that is largely made up of small employers and do _ largely made up of small employers and do not — largely made up of small employers and do not have anywhere else for people _ and do not have anywhere else for people to — and do not have anywhere else for people to go, so we need to be clear this is— people to go, so we need to be clear this is about — people to go, so we need to be clear this is about people potentially no longer— this is about people potentially no longer being able to work in the sector, — longer being able to work in the sector, which is probably one of the primary— sector, which is probably one of the primary concerns.— sector, which is probably one of the primary concerns. then the question is how ou primary concerns. then the question is how you make _ primary concerns. then the question is how you make sure _ primary concerns. then the question is how you make sure you _ primary concerns. then the question is how you make sure you can - primary concerns. then the question is how you make sure you can fill i is how you make sure you can fill the places those people are moving

away from? the plans to consult on compulsory vaccinations, and care staff such as those going into people's homes to provide support, are likely to be controversial but if you are saying care staff have to be vaccinated, surely you other people working with vulnerable individuals should also have to be vaccinated. a whitehall source told me such moves would save lives. and that they believe there is a precedent for this sort of guidance and that comes from previous guidance on the use of the hepatitis b vaccine amongst doctors. thanks. the other issue being considered by ministers is whether to vaccinate 12— to 15—year—olds in england. our chief political correspondent adam fleming joins us now. we have been talking about this over the past days. what is the latest? we have been talking about it since the start of the year because it is

a debate the scientists on the joint committee for vaccination and immunisation who advise the government have had since the start of the year because they knew there would be a point where they would have to make a decision on that point is getting closer. the pfizer vaccine has been approved by regulators for the use for 12 to 15—year—olds, which means the political government system and advisers has to decide whether to deploy the vaccine in that age group. thejcvi are discussing it and you asked the international trade secretary about it. fit and you asked the international trade secretary about it. of course, the government _ trade secretary about it. of course, the government will _ trade secretary about it. of course, the government will look _ trade secretary about it. of course, the government will look very - the government will look very closely — the government will look very closely at the jcvi recommendations. it is my— closely at the jcvi recommendations. it is my understanding they are not recommending the vaccination of under— recommending the vaccination of under 18s — recommending the vaccination of under 18s. we will be saying more in due course _ under 18s. we will be saying more in due course about that. i under18s. we will be saying more in due course about that.— due course about that. i think listenin: due course about that. i think listening to — due course about that. i think listening to liz _ due course about that. i think listening to liz truss, - due course about that. i think listening to liz truss, she - due course about that. i think| listening to liz truss, she was talking about the current situation,

which is there is no current advice to vaccinate children. maybe we should focus on the first part of what she said, that the government will look closely at future advice they get from the jcvi. will look closely at future advice they get from thejcvi. i do not think yet is the starting gun being fired on that. they are trying to balance a lot of issues with this. the fact that children do not get very sick on the hole from covid, does that mean we need to vaccinate? on the other side, if children are identified as a contact of a positive case, they have to stay away from school and miss out on education, so maybe that would be a reason to vaccinate. complicated issues and people get emotional about vaccinating children, so a lot of stuff for experts and jcvi to grapple with but it does not look like they have delivered their advice to government yet so it is not for ministers to grapple with. sophie, the countess of wessex, has reflected on the death

of the duke of edinburgh in an emotional interview with naga for her bbc radio 5 live programme. she was speaking ahead of the un's international day for the elimination of sexual violence in conflict. our royal correspondent daniela relph has more. the countess of wessex spoke openly about her charity work, parenting teenagers and the death of the duke of edinburgh. just before lockdown, she visited south sudan to raise awareness of sexual violence against women living in conflict zones. it's a key part of her royal work. she praised the bravery of women who shared the brutality of their experience. when you hear somebody�*s story of gang rape and, literally, physically what has happened to them, it absolutely brings you to your knees. and i had tears falling off my face as she was talking to me. i was completely silent, but i was just in floods of tears. the countess also welcomed the increased openness amongst young

women in the uk to discuss the sexual harassment and abuse they faced. she said it was something she had discussed with her 17—year—old daughter and valued the honest conversations they have as a family. she is actually quite aware of it, so we chat about it quite a lot, and particularly if i've been on a trip somewhere, she wants to know where i've been and what i've been doing. so she has a natural curiosity about it, and it's easy to have that kind of conversation with her. she also spoke about the death of the duke of edinburgh and the impact of grief, especially those moments that catch you when you realise he isn't there. we were lucky enough to go to scotland for half—term. i don't know if you remember the photograph that i took. of the queen and the duke? yeah. i was pregnant with louise at the time. and we went up there during half—term.

are you ok? mm. and just to be there, in that place was an �*oh, my god' moment. so i think they'll come and go. but you have to let them come and let them go. away from the sadder moments, the countess said she'd got fitter in lockdown, and the tv series she had binged over the past year — line of duty. daniela relph, bbc news. when you heard that line. the rest of the interview is interesting but i like people sharing in the line of duty experience. you can hear the full interview on bbc radio 5 live from ten o'clock this morning. president biden and russian leader vladimir putin will meet for a summit in geneva later today for the first time since mr biden's inauguration. both leaders say they hope the talks

will lead to more stability. but, with relations between the two countries under severe strain, it's likely to be tense. israel says it has launched air strikes against hamas targets on the gaza strip in retaliation for incendiary balloons fired from the palestinian territory. it's the first major attack since 11 days of fighting between the two sides ended in a ceasefire last month. you might remember the vanishing bikini worn by dame barbara windsor in carry on camping. it has sold for around ten times more than its original estimate. when it went under the hammer at auction it sold for £9,500. the proceeds will go to the alzheimer's society in memory of dame barbara, who died last year aged 83. amazing it raised such a phenomenal amount of money. for a good cause, as well.

you have some lightning. there will be lightning in the forecast later today and the next days and nights. we will have torrential rain, as much as 50 millimetres, two inches, from the biggest storms. so flash flooding is possible. a dull start in fort william. a weather front has produced rain in scotland and northern ireland. it will move southwards, weakening, so the rain will be lighter. behind it in the north and west, breezy with sunny spells and showers. ahead of it in central and southern areas and east wales, you will notice it will turn humid and temperatures in the south—east up to 29. moving further north, wales, south—west england, northern england and southern

scotland, we hang onto cloud. at times some hill fog and rain. overnight, and this evening, here come the thunderstorms. we could see them get closer to wales, over towards east wales, but the rest of the uk, largely dry, fresh in the north, but humid in the south—east. around 145,000 people are living with parkinson's in the uk. despite years of research, it's a disease that has no cure. one family impacted by the condition is the tindalls. former england rugby player mike tindall�*s dad has been living with parkinson's for nearly 20 years. sally nugent went along with mike as he went to visit his parents in yorkshire for the first time this year. today, 14th ofjune, i'm hoping, because it is my dad's birthday, so i'm going to go up north and it will be at least probably six months

ago since i last saw them. get back, see how he is, see if anything's changed. it has been slightly tough for them with everything we are going through in terms of covid but dealing with his parkinson's, medication, double jabbing, not really going out, so always nice to get back and see how he is. see if anything has changed. whether his symptoms have got slightly worse. iam i am looking forward to it, it is his birthday. which is great. the old boy — give him a hug for his birthday. it's a manly knocker. hello. are you all right? yeah, fine. i how are you? i'm all right. good. oh, it's good to see you.

where is father. i have the cake. just what he needs for his diet! all reet, father? hello, mike. i've brought you a very, very chocolatey chocolate cake. because i know that diet is your key. all right? thanks. are you wobbly today? yes, i'm wobbly today. a bit wibbly—wobbly? bit wibbly—wobbly, yeah. all right? yeah, not bad. how is everything else? did you jig jog? been out for your run this morning? been with holly — out for a walk. been round the block. she dragged along, yeah? things not kicking in very well today. they haven't done today, no. that's how we go. get anotherjab in you. pincushion you. i had another before you came in. so i could be a little more lively than otherwise. hello, i'm sally. i have not said

hello yet. i hello, i'm sally. i have not said hello yet-— hello yet. i saw you on the telly this morning. _ mike, we are at your mum and dads house. thanks for inviting us in. tell me about your dad and the situation he is in at the moment. so he's had parkinson's disease for, i think, probably 20 years, but he has officially known since 2003, just before we went out to the world cup. commentator: and they burst into song once again. _ it didn't really dawn on me what parkinson's was. if you looked at people who were prevalent with parkinson's at that time, you would say muhammad ali. and you looked at my dad, and looked at muhammad ali, and, well, it's not the same person, surely it's not the same disease. and then life went on. i was 25, rugby was going really well. you were focused on that. and when we got married in 2011, you could see the effects were starting to grow on him in terms of curvature of the spine. he had to have surgery on that.

and then slowly, over the past ten years, there have been loads of other problems that have come across because of it. what lockdown has done is, when you don't see someone for such a long period of time, then you sometimes miss what gradually appears. it is one of those things. sometimes, if i look back, i take them for granted, my mum and dad. they went to every international, i think, for... definitely after the world cup. they probably thought once he has won that, we are all right, we don't need to keep going! they were always nervous for me, white as it goes before the game. when did you first notice your dad was not himself? i when did you first notice your dad was not himself?— was not himself? i don't think i really notice — was not himself? i don't think i really notice the _ was not himself? i don't think i really notice the difference - was not himself? i don't think i | really notice the difference until

late 20005, probably. again, that is something, notjudge myself on, but wish i had done. it is easy to look back and think what would i have done different in? i would have been on him about exercising, make him stronger. but the research was not there at the time. now it is easy, to notice the signs, shuffling, quietness of voice. being impatient, whatever it might be. a big long list we have now of about 50 symptoms you can be aware of. that would not have been there back then. push, push. he would love to play more with the grandkids, he would love to be able to pick them up, throw them around. how many? 48 out. one has got one on, so three.

to feel i'm contributing something, notjust a lump in the corner, shaking on a chair. you know, i've always been an active guy. if there is a ball about i'll kick it, i'll play with it. i miss the fact that i can't do it with the grandchildren as i would like to do. that's what i really wish. how much do you think about the future? even if there was a cure tomorrow, it's not going to change my dad's life. that is some of the reason why i try to do what i do now, because men are men and they do take a long time to go and see a doctor, they don't like talking about things. but what you ultimately don't want is for... you would never want a young son or daughter to go through having to watch the idol who was the sporty idol i wanted to be, you know, go from where he wants to be and where he is now. he knows that that is not quite there any more.

and that is ultimately what i would like to try and be involved in, that we can stop that from happening. thank you to mike and his family for taking part in that. we can speak now to lyndsey isaacs from the cure parkinson's charity, where mike is a patron. lyndsey�*s husband tom set up the charity after he was diagnosed with the disease. he died in 2017, and lyndsey carried on their work. thank you for being with us. i know the tyndall family well. it must be a situation many families find themselves in, a familiar story for many? themselves in, a familiar story for man ? , ., ., ., themselves in, a familiar story for man ? ., , , , ., many? good morning, yes, it is a similar story- _ many? good morning, yes, it is a similar story. it _ many? good morning, yes, it is a similar story. it is _ many? good morning, yes, it is a similar story. it is affecting - many? good morning, yes, it is a similar story. it is affecting the i similar story. it is affecting the isolation, because parkinson's is isolating itself, but having this

atmosphere. it's a long time since the welsh have paid for anything like 30,000 fans. and they think that the turkish fans could turn against their own team if they are not performing. turkish lost their first game against italy 3—0 say this is must win for them as well. the atmosphere in baku is building and so other temperatures but it is and so other temperatures but it is an evening kick—off, 8pm, so people hope that it will cool off and wales can cope with the pressure and bring back a result. one man better positioned than most to comment on wales' chances, is former player and manager mark hughes. hejoins us now. he will be part of the bbc team throughout the year is. good morning —— throughout the year euros. the draw against the swiss for wales was important, but with that game against italy to come, this is significant today.— against italy to come, this is significant today. yes, you don't really want _ significant today. yes, you don't really want to _ significant today. yes, you don't really want to say _

well we did, the red wall was unbelievable. so many of my friends went out there with the intention of being there for one day and a couple of games and didn't come home for five weeks. it was a wonderful time and everyone enjoyed it, it's a shame it cannot be replicated this time round for obvious reasons. i think today, maybe, it will help, it will help wales's performance against the swiss had a lack of edge in the play and that had something to do with the fact that the stadium was to all intents and purposes a bellyful. ithink was to all intents and purposes a bellyful. i think —— was to all intents and purposes a bellyful. ithink —— it was to all intents and purposes a bellyful. i think —— it was barely full. ithink bellyful. i think —— it was barely full. i think we will have a huge crowd, even though they could be against us, that will give us an edge to our performance, i hope so anyway. edge to our performance, i hope so an a . ., ., ., anyway. one of the great thing about tournament at _ anyway. one of the great thing about tournament at times _ anyway. one of the great thing about tournament at times like _ anyway. one of the great thing about tournament at times like this, - anyway. one of the great thing about tournament at times like this, this i
