to help prevent childhood challenges becoming a crisis in adult hood. daniela relph, bbc news. a wandering walrus called wally has surprised residents of the isles of scilly, apparently trying to hitch a ride on a local boat. a number of rubber dinghies were burst by the creature as it tried to clamber aboard them at st mary's. it's the latest sighting of wally, who was spotted off wales in march, cornwall in may and spain just a fortnight ago. conservation experts are monitoring his welfare and say he's well. it's hoped he'll return north to his native home in the arctic soon. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willets. the scottish fans have left the fine weather behind. this is a picture of inverness right now. this is where the sunshine is. it is not further

south as we have seen. this persistent rain will continue throughout the rest of today, continuing to give difficult driving conditions and further likely flooding and could give some thundery rain. it is tying in with this area of low pressure. it is very welcome for the gardens but there is a brisk wind and it could turn thundery. some places have already had a month's worth of rain, by 50 millimetres of rain and they will be more in the next few hours. at a different story further north and further west across the west of wales, north—west england, scotland and northern ireland. very few flowers today a light breeze and feeling pleasant. as well as the rain, we have quite a brisk wind coming in off the north sea so temperatures are lower than yesterday but it is still muggy, quite close despite the heavy rain. the heavy rain is having a positive effect on the levels of pollen for those who have been struggling with the very high levels in recent days across central and eastern areas but when we have the sunshine, clearly

it is still very high. we will have cleared the rain in time for the football match at wembley? it is touch and go, and as the play continues through the evening hopefully by the end of play, the main rain will be over. but it does look like a wet affair travelling at first. it will clear this evening and overnight and it takes the humidity with it. a much more comfortable night for sleeping in southern and eastern areas if you have been struggling, like i have. elsewhere, we had a fresh and already last night and that will happen tonight, and giving sunshine tomorrow. quite a bit of cloud a breakthrough in the morning but it looks dry and brighter. perhaps a few showers dotted around scotland and northern ireland and later in the south as well. it will feel pleasant with the light winds and it will be a drier, brighter and warmer day. lots so humid. but that doesn't last and the humidity returned through saturday night. the devil is

in the detail, we have low pressure coming from the south—west, one moving into the north sea. it does look more unsettled and more widely unsettled with the rain reaching other areas. unsettled with the rain reaching otherareas. if unsettled with the rain reaching other areas. if you haven't got plans for the weekend, stay tuned to the forecast and you can keep up—to—date on the warnings as well on the website. a reminder of our top story. the liberal democrats are celebrating a stunning by—election victory after winning chesham and amersham which has been conservative for almost half a century. that is it, goodbye from me and now good afternoon, it'sjust after 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news.

one place to start — and that's the build up to tonight's huge euro 2020 clash, between england and scotland at wembley. it's the first time they've met, at a major men's football tournament in 25 years. and there's a lot riding on this one. for england, victory will seal their place in the knockouts — after opening win over croatia. but scotland have to get a result — to keep their hopes alive, following their loss to the czech republic.. with the top two teams in the group guaranteed to progress. so plenty to play for, in one of football's oldest rivalries — a match the england captain feels will be a challenge. i think ithink our i think our very top side even though their result against the czech republic was, could have gone either way, the points went to the czech republic but i thought scotland played pretty well and if it wasn't for the czech goalkeeper they could have had a few goals. so maybe that is the issue, i don't know, for the fans or things like that but from our point of view, we need to respect them.—

that but from our point of view, we need to respect them. there has to be belief and _ need to respect them. there has to be belief and confidence _ need to respect them. there has to be belief and confidence that - need to respect them. there has to be belief and confidence that you i be belief and confidence that you can go— be belief and confidence that you can go to — be belief and confidence that you can go to any team and play well against _ can go to any team and play well against them whether that is england against _ against them whether that is england against wembley or a different nation — against wembley or a different nation in — against wembley or a different nation in a different country, you gotta _ nation in a different country, you gotta have — nation in a different country, you gotta have that self belief and that sort of _ gotta have that self belief and that sort of arrogance where we can play and win, _ sort of arrogance where we can play and win, we — sort of arrogance where we can play and win, we are more than suited to be on _ and win, we are more than suited to be on the _ and win, we are more than suited to be on the stage as proven by the journey— be on the stage as proven by the journey we — be on the stage as proven by the journey we have had to get here, we've _ journey we have had to get here, we've had — journey we have had to get here, we've had it tough. it has not been easy~ _ we've had it tough. it has not been easy~ we _ we've had it tough. it has not been easy. we have to enjoy the moment. that is— easy. we have to enjoy the moment. that is perfect, but you have to go and play— that is perfect, but you have to go and play as— that is perfect, but you have to go and play as well. before attentions turn to wembley, there are two other games in the tournament today. in half an hour or so — sweden and slovakia meet in group e in st petersburg — slovakia can qualify for the last 16 with a win. and then it's the other game in england and scotland's group — croatia against the czech republic in glasgow. tottenham's search for a new manager continues. they're now not considering gennaro gattuso. some spurs fans reacted angrily to stories linking gattuso with the job yesterday. that was communicated to the club by the tottenham hotspur supporters trust. gattuso left as the manager of fiorentina on thursday, but it's understood that spurs are now looking elsewhere.

valtteri bottas topped lewis hamilton in a mercedes one—two ahead of red bull's max verstappen in first practice at the french grand prix. bottas led hamilton byjust over 0.3 of a second while verstappen was just behind his title rival, who he leads by four points in the standings after six races. england's women have forced india to bat again — as they look to seal victory in the one—off test match in bristol. a stunning start to day three, saw them bowl the visitors out for 231... significantly behind england's first innings total of 396... sophia ecclestone with three wickets today. india are 29—1. in the start to their second innings. this the third of the four day match. but the world test championship final between india and new zealand hasn't got underway yet because of heavy rain in southampton. the toss has been delayed and there will be no play before lunch. the weather forecast also doesn't look good for the rest of the day.

american russell henley has the clubhouse lead at us open after a first round four under par. a 90—minute delay to the start of play at torrey pines meant 36 players didn't finish because of fading light. rory mcilroy did manage to get through his round, posting one under par, with this birdie on the 18th. it's set to be a big day for british tennis today, with three brits in action in the quarter—finals at queens but the british summertime weather has taken its grip instead. no play until it leads 2pm. the smack until at least 2pm. dan evans due to face top seed matteo berrettini with cameron norrie and 19—year—old jack draper going head to head in an all british match, with a place in the semi—final at stake. i'll have more for you in the next hour. wales is postponing the further easing of coronavirus restrictions

for anotherfour weeks =, because of the surge in cases of the delta variant. the welsh government hopes to dispense another half a million doses of vaccine during the pause. the first minister mark drakeford said the delta variant had spread throughout wales in just a few short weeks. wales may be to having three weeks behind what is happening in england and in scotland, where tens of thousands of cases have now been confirmed, and where there is widespread transmission, and now, reports of increased hospital admissions as well. in the last week, the first minister of scotland and the prime ministerfor england have both paused their plans to relax coronavirus restrictions, because of concern about the delta variant, and today, i have to

announce that we will be doing the same here in wales. now, we have reached this conclusion by carefully considering all the data that we have about the current public health context. we have a look at the latest modelling available from swansea university, and we have looked at the advice from our own expert technical advisory cell, and from the uk sage macro committee. the interest that might increase of the delta variant and growth in coronavirus cases means that we will therefore not be going ahead with any new alert level one indoor relaxation this week, or any further relaxations to the regulations over the coming three week cycle. this means that there will be a four week pause,in means that there will be a four week pause, in lifting of restrictions.

and that pause will allow us to focus on vaccinating even more people, to help us manage the impact of this new wave of infections. and we start from a good place, here in wales. we have the lowest coronavirus rates of any part of the united kingdom, and the highest vaccination rates. a four week delay could help to reduce the peak number of daily hospital admissions by up to half. and this is at a time when the nhs is very busy in wales, today, supporting all of our health care needs, notjust treating coronavirus. care needs, not 'ust treating coronavirus.— care needs, not 'ust treating coronavirus. ~ , .,~ ., coronavirus. mark drakeford, the was first minister, — coronavirus. mark drakeford, the was first minister, with _ coronavirus. mark drakeford, the was first minister, with the _ coronavirus. mark drakeford, the was first minister, with the latest - first minister, with the latest situation in that country. the r number has been released for england

and remains unchanged. it is not going up. last time i made this announcement it had gone up but it stays between i.2—i.1i. the r number is the rate at which infections can multiply. so the fact that it remains the same means that overall the pattern of the virus and the spread means that it is not growing, which is a sign of good news. so, 1.24.4, the r numberfor england. nicola sturgeon has announced resrictions on travel between scotland and manchester and birmingham due to the high levels of covid in the cities. the first minister made the announcement at a coronavirus briefing in holyrood. we continue to keep travel restrictions under review and i can confirm some changes that come into effect over the weekend. from today current restrictions on travel between scotland and bedford will be

lifted, nonessential travel to and from bedford is permitted again. we have lifted restrictions on travel between scotland and the republic of ireland. that means that nonessential travel is no longer prohibited. however, anyone planning to travel to the republic of ireland should note that under island's current rules, you will be required to self—isolate when you arrive there. i regret, however, that we are introducing restrictions on travel between scotland and cities in england, manchester, salford, they currently have high levels of covid—19 and so, from monday onwards, nonessential travel between scotland and those cities is not permitted. nonessential travel is already prohibited, between scotland and bolton and blackburn with darwen. anyone travelling elsewhere in the greater manchester or lancashire area, i would ask to think carefully about whether your journey is really necessary because we do see cases rising across that region. i realise that for those with family or friends in manchester

or salford, for anyone else who was simply planning a visit, this is disappointing, but rates of covid—19 in these cities are particularly high at the moment and these restrictions are intended to minimise the risk of either exacerbating the situation there, or indeed allowing more virus to come back here to scotland. the third point i want to highlight is the main talking point for most people, over the course of today, i would imagine, which is the football, later this evening, and the scotland—england game at wembley tonight will be a great occasion, at least, we hope it will be a great occasion, and let me just briefly take this opportunity to wish steve clark, andy robertson, and the whole of the scotland team the very, very best of luck for that match tonight. the whole country will be cheering you on. it is only natural that many of us want to swatch this game with friends, that sense of being in a shared experience is one of the many things that make watching our national team so special, but please, i don't relish being the one i have to keep saying

this, but i have a duty to keep saying this, but please remember that if you're watching the match tonight, continue to take care. in particular if gathering in your own house or someone else's, please stick to the limits, six people from three households, and the point of these limits is to try to restrict these limits is to try to restrict the spread of the virus because, indoors, we know, is much higher risk than outdoors. please remember to take basic precautions, keep windows open, wash your hands regularly, and please be especially careful around people who are not yet fully vaccinated, or who might be more vulnerable, and be careful if or hopefully when scotland score some goals. i know that these precautions are tiresome for everybody in every context, particularly tiresome when people are trying to enjoy the normal pleasures of a football match, but this virus doesn't care about the

football. it is not a scotland or england fan, it only cares about spreading from one person to another, so all of us have to work hard to try to deny it, as far as we can, the opportunities to spread. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon. in nepal, the number of people who've died from coronavirus has surpassed the number who were killed by the earthquake there in 2015. more than 8,500 have died, with cases rising in rural areas where access to health care is difficult. as the country is experiencing a devastating second wave, nepalis are calling for international aid to help them cope. 0ur south asia?correspondent, rajini vaidyanathan, has?sent this report from the remote gorkha district. 7 the virus has now travelled to every corner of this mountain nation. we journeyed through the rugged foothills of the himalayas to the gorkha region where there's been a steep rise in cases.

here navigating the terrain is as tough as getting access to medical help. the views are spectacular but the road conditions are difficult. we are in a remote part of nepal in the gorkha district. there aren't hospitals here for hours. just imagine trying to get emergency health care in this kind of situation. we reach barpak, known as the village of the brave. home to many gurkha veterans and theirfamilies. this was the epicentre of nepal's devastating earthquake in 2015. a community rebuilt, now struggling to contain the virus. locals say dozens have died of covid in this recent wave. one of the victims, rambahadur ghali, who served in the queen's gurkha engineers. left behind, his son hari.

already penniless, now fatherless. he says he couldn't afford to take his dad to the nearest hospital, a three—hour drive, or a two—day walk. translation: we don't have proper medical facilities in barpak. - we only have a small health clinic. so even if we get a fracture and need an x—ray, we have to travel far. we couldn't get a car to take him to the hospital. the only option would have been by helicopter. we couldn't afford that. the delta variant spread as migrant workers returned to their villages from india. vaccines aren't reaching as fast. only 8% of people have had a first dose. supplies from india were suspended. some are coming from china but it has still left more than 1 million elderly nepalis waiting for their second shot of the astrazeneca. this gurkha veteran is holding

on to his vaccination card and to the hope other nations will help. translation: we served in the british army. - it would be nice if they could give us vaccines. there are many people who need them in nepal, notjust us. in a country famed for the most challenging of treks, these journeys are the toughest. a village says goodbye to another covid victim who couldn't get oxygen in time. even before the virus came along, they lived a life of isolation. now, for so many in rural nepal, it has turned into one of desperation. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, gorkha, nepal. the headlines on bbc news...

the liberal democrat leader sir ed davey promises to knock down the conservative blue wall — as his party wins the chesham and amersham by—election. new data shows a single dose of the pfizer or astrazeneca vaccine, cuts the risk of hospitalisation by around 75%. ministers say they feel "deeply ashamed" of low conviction rates for rape cases in england and wales. the united nations says the number of people around the world displaced by war and persecution rose sharply last year to a record number, in spite of the coronavirus pandemic. more than 82 million people are now refugees — up by almost three million in 2020. imogen foulkes reports from geneva. old conflicts continue, new ones emerge. by 2020, more than 7 million syrians had fled their country, so too had 4 million people from venezuela.

violence in ethiopia and mozambique surged, driving millions more from their homes. in a year in which we were all locked down, still almost 3 million more people were forcibly displaced. it also shows that the pandemic has stopped almost everything except war, conflict, violence, persecution — all the causes that push these people to flee. the un appealed for a global ceasefire during the pandemic but no—one seemed to listen and people continued to flee. the urgency of escaping war conquers fear of covid. here at the united nations, you can sense the frustration. the number of refugees has been rising steadily year—on—year for almost a decade and the violence and persecution those refugees are fleeing, whether it's syria, yemen, afghanistan, just doesn't seem to end. the number of forcibly displaced rose from 79.5 million in 2019

to 82.4 million last year. meanwhile, because of the pandemic, 160 countries closed their borders. 99 of them made no exception for people fleeing war. now, to the un's dismay, some governments, like denmark's, suggest keeping asylum seekers off their territory altogether, by housing them in other countries. all of this is not only morally reprehensible, frankly, abysmally reprehensible on the part of rich and privileged countries, but it is also not effective. if legal ways to apply for asylum are closed off, the un says people will try the risky, often fatal, illegal routes. next month marks the 70th anniversary of the un convention on refugees. in 1951, countries pledged to protect those fleeing violence.

the 82.4 million people displaced may be asking just how much of that commitment is left. imogen foulkes, bbc news, geneva. whether you're supporting england or scotland in tonight's euro 2020 clash — it's pretty much guaranteed that most people in your town will be backing the same team. well, that's not the case in the border town of berwick—upon—tweed. john maguire explains why. to some, it is a line, to others, it is where two tribes separate. borders are fascinating places. and for those who live along this north—south divide, it's time to pick a side. scotland. score? 2—0 scotland. 2—0 scotland 7 yeah. confident? yes. very confident. who's going to win tonight? england. england, you reckon? yes. ask your man there, what's the score going to be? i think it'll be hopefully 3—1. 34? yeah. all right! let's see!

just a few miles into england, berwick—upon—tweed has changed hands with scotland many times over the years. these days, supporters of tonight's opponents live cheek byjowl. tonight, what's the score going to be? 3-1. — i'll say 2—0 to scotland. an early goal for the scots, put yous under pressure and then they'll nick another one at the end. i'll bang on the wall when we score, all right? right, that'll do. move some of your stuff because they will be a few knocks. another 23 years? another 23 years, maybe. you never know. are you going to be smiling tomorrow night? we could be. or i could be crying into my tea! even the local rnli crew's a heavy mix of scots and english, both claire and kevin are on call tonight, so will be keeping one eye on the weather and the other on wembley. there is quite a mix of crew,

half and half, i would say. it does get obviously quite temperamental, sometimes, especially when it is rugby, and now the football's approached us, it has been a long time, so it will be very interesting. because of where we are based, a lot of the crew have scottish family, english family, both sides, and it would be nice to have a bit of banter, it has been 23 years since we last had a bit of banter! in one of berwick�*s town centre pubs, the staff are ready and are covid—19 restricted. landlady margaret is english but remains impeccably impartial. i think the atmosphere will be very good, it will be all good hearted. you have got to have a winner. so, i am not shouting for anybody, i will just keep out of the way, stand at the door, yes. fist just keep out of the way, stand at the door. vee— the door, yes. at the berwick hofida the door, yes. at the berwick holiday park, _ the door, yes. at the berwick holiday park, some _ the door, yes. at the berwick holiday park, some believe i the door, yes. at the berwick| holiday park, some believe in actions rather than words. for these

brothers tonight's match is the conversation between two nations. what you think the score will be? i think it will be euro 96 all over again. — think it will be euro 96 all over again. 2-0. _ think it will be euro 96 all over again, 2—0, england. no think it will be euro 96 all over again, 2-0, england. no chance, scotland, — again, 2-0, england. no chance, scotland. my _ again, 2-0, england. no chance, scotland, my heart _ again, 2-0, england. no chance, scotland, my heart says - again, 2-0, england. no chance, scotland, my heart says 3-0, - scotland, my heart says 3—0, confident, dominant performance but my head says 1—0, 90 minute penalty, glorious defeat, but we will come out fighting. i glorious defeat, but we will come out fighting-— glorious defeat, but we will come out fighting. i can't see a scotland win, not out fighting. i can't see a scotland win. not from _ out fighting. i can't see a scotland win, not from the _ out fighting. i can't see a scotland win, not from the performance - out fighting. i can't see a scotland l win, not from the performance from monday _ win, not from the performance from monday. david marshall is still stuck — monday. david marshall is still stuck in — monday. david marshall is still stuck in that net! laughter may the best team win, cheers to you, mark. it may the best team win, cheers to you. mark-— may the best team win, cheers to you, mark. it could be a draw with honours even _ you, mark. it could be a draw with honours even so _ you, mark. it could be a draw with honours even so the _ you, mark. it could be a draw with honours even so the teams - you, mark. it could be a draw with honours even so the teams and i you, mark. it could be a draw with i honours even so the teams and their fans could remain the best of frenemies, at least until the next crunch match. david guetta, the producer behind hits like titanium,

i got a feeling and hey mama, has sold his back catalogue to warner music for a nine—figure sum. it's been reported that the french star made about £72 million in the deal, which also covers his future recordings. the 52—year—old has sold 50 million records and racked up more than 14 billion streams, and has worked with a wide range of artists from justin bieber to rihanna. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. asa as a weather picture from west wales, we have an abundance of sunshine. there we have the sunshine pollen levels are high through north—west england, but they are lower, more comfortable levels further east. that is because the rain arrived. it rained overnight. it is persistent through the day. difficult driving conditions with further likely flooding. predictions of 50 millimetres of rain, a month's worth falling since the rain began.

we could see the jar across parts of north—west scotland or northern ireland. a gentle breeze, here. and we have an area of low pressure with a brisk wind coming off the north sea. some of the highest temperatures where we have that sunshine, a light breeze in the south and west, not at wembley, it doesn't look, not for this evening. in fact, it is touch and go whether that rain's cleared, so not great news for the england scotland match, it could be, for the fans heading in, pretty wet, it's likely. the rain clears away, perhaps a sheep future was left behind, as we go to the match, pulling way out into the north sea, to leave a drier night, and we lose the humidity as well, so more comfortable for sleeping. even then, in southern and eastern areas, on a par with last night further north and west. largely clear skies with some fine weather to start saturday, i think there will be quite a bit

of cloud for england and wales, the sunshine will have to work its way through, and there will be the odd shower just about anywhere, but it does look like the dry half of the weekend with a shower is coming and going as we head into the afternoon, particularly driven on by that strong june sun. temperatures on a par with today's for most, but higher in southern and eastern areas, areas, compared with the north—east coast. saturday to sunday brings rain northwards, low pressure approaching from the south—west. so the devil is in the detail as we head into sunday. looks like we will see some heavy rain working its way northwards, perhaps getting into scotland with further showers following on behind. an unsettled picture for sunday. temperatures, and we get some sunshine getting into the high teens and low 20s. as ever, you can find out more information and keep up to date on the website, including the warnings.

this is bbc news, i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines. a shock by—election win for the liberal democrats in chesham and amersham, taking a seat that for almost half a century was tory blue. the lib dem leader says this is the beginning of the end, of the conservatives electoral blue wall. liberal democrats came here as the underdogs. but we campaigned hard and we are sending a shock wave through british politics. cheering and applause. ministers say they feel "deeply ashamed" of low conviction rates for rape cases in england and wales. new data shows a single dose of the pfizer or astrazeneca vaccine, cuts the risk of hospitalisation,by around 75%.
