this is bbc news. the headlines at four... queues for covid vaccines as pop—up centres and walk—in clinics open in england in a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to all remaining adults. if it wasn't for the vaccine, we would definitely be seeing a wave that is going to be even bigger than the wave we had in winter but because of the vaccine, that is doing the heavy lifting, that is what is doing as much as possible to protect us at the moment. hardliner ebrahim raisi has been declared the winner of iran's presidential election in a poll in which most would—be candidates were barred from standing. northern ireland's new first minister, paul givan, has been told he will have to resign when a new dup leader is in place. the son of a private investigator whose murder has remained unsolved for more than three decades criticises the metropolitan police's

handling of the case. and rock fans from across the uk celebrate at the scaled down version of the download festival as it goes ahead as a test event. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. pop—up vaccination centres and walk—in clinics are open in england this weekend, in a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to all remaining adults. it comes as surge testing is being rolled out in areas of south london and cumbria amid a rise in cases. here's our health correspondent katharine da costa. charlton athletic playing host to a pop—up vaccination centre, one of a number of extra clinics

in the capital making it even easier to access the jab. some are offering walk—in slots to over—18s but here, it is the over—40s being invited to roll up their sleeves for a second dose of astrazeneca. i guess for me, the most important thing was just to feel well and a bit freer in society and to not be a danger to others, either. it is expected to be a bumper weekend of walk—in vaccinations in the north—west, too. the region has the highest case rates in the country but extra doses of vaccines and enhanced testing is helping to slow the spread. this is a result of so many conversations and the wish of so many people, including people working in the nhs and our communities. and i am very hopeful that we are going to see a significant increase in the uptake. firstjabs won't stop a third wave of the delta variant overnight. it will take a few weeks to build

immunity, but health experts are cautiously optimistic the extra push to offer second shots may avoid another surge in hospital admissions. i am, i suppose, at the moment, cautiously hopeful that whilst we probably can expect some sort of wave of hospital admissions in the next few weeks, it won't be the same scale that we saw in january. everyjab in every arm brings us closer to so—called freedom day. it is hoped hundreds of thousands of people across the country will turn out for what is set to be a super saturday. katharine da costa, bbc news. we have just had the latest figures on covid cases. the number of new cases is down slightly on friday's figure. in terms of deaths, the uk

has recorded 14 in the latest 24—hour period, up from 11 in the 24—hour period, up from 11 in the 24—hour period, up from 11 in the 24—hour period ending on friday. cumbria's director of public health is colin cox. when we look at the surge testing in cumbria, outlined for us how it will work and is it targeted, are there specific areas that are of major concern? it specific areas that are of ma'or concern? , . , ., ., concern? it is targeted but not at secific concern? it is targeted but not at specific areas. _ concern? it is targeted but not at specific areas. cumbria _ concern? it is targeted but not at specific areas. cumbria has - concern? it is targeted but not at specific areas. cumbria has seen | concern? it is targeted but not at. specific areas. cumbria has seen the case rate rising by a factor of ten since the beginning ofjune. about seven cases per 100,000 at the end of may and now about 70 per 100,000, so a fairly substantial and exponential rise. the biggest number of cases have been in the younger age groups, 12—13 —year—olds. we are

not targeting by area but we are urging anyone between 12 and 30 to get a test. we are working with schools to see if we can maximise the uptake of testing in schools. any idea what has caused this spike in cases in cumbria? the delta variant is supposed to be more transmissible than the alpha variant. i think it is inevitable. we have seen a number of cases coming into the county from areas with higher rates but mainly originally people who live in cumbria travelling for work or education or leisure. but inevitably it has become more widespread as wider community transmission within the county. figs wider community transmission within the coun . �* , . ., wider community transmission within the coun . a . ., ., wider community transmission within thecoun. ., ,,. the county. as director of public

the option for many. the lake district and cumbria are a go—to option for many people and i'm sure businesses there will eagerly anticipate that. do you think that could be put injeopardy anticipate that. do you think that could be put in jeopardy by this or is it too soon to say? at the moment we haven't seen much in the way of evidence of case rates are rising because of tourism in the county, we haven't seen that as a major driver, and we didn't see that last summer either where we saw large numbers of people coming into the county. 0ur message at the moment to people who want to come and visit cumbria is please get tested before you travel. lateral flow tests if nothing else a couple of days before you come to cumbria and if you test positive then you need to self—isolate and not to travel up. our local tourism industry is desperate to see people back, so we are not telling people

not to visit, but please get tested before you come. thank you. a hardline ultra—conservative will be iran's next president after winning most of the votes counted so far. ebrahim raisi beat three other candidates in a poll in which most would—be candidates were barred from standing. mr raisi is under us sanctions and has been linked to past executions of political prisoners. bbc persian�*s kasra naji has been giving me the latest. he has won about 18.1; million votes, and the turnout apparently is about 48%, 49%, which is the lowest ever since the iranian revolution years ago.

what does that tell us about political opinion in iran? it means he is not a very popular man, many people protested, they did not take part in elections, there was talk of boycotting the elections. now with the figures just published, if you do the calculations, you come to the conclusion that millions of people either did not go to vote, they boycotted the elections, or they spoiled their ballot papers when they did go to the polling stations. so there is quite a lot of protest votes there. it means a good chunk of the iranian population is disenchanted, seriously, discontented, and they feel left out of the political process and that is dangerous in iran. iran is reeling under the terrible economic crisis brought about by mismanagement in a big way and the us sanctions. there have been two rounds

of serious nationwide protests in iran in the last few years in which hundreds, some say thousands, were killed in these demonstrations and protests. i suspect the result today is not going to give us assurances of stability, more stability in the years to come. the dup's paul givan has been told that he will have to resign as first minister after a new party leader takes over. he is northern ireland s youngest first minister and before long he will also be the shortest serving leader to hold the post. mr givan was informed of the news after the resignation of the dup leader, edwin poots, on thursday night. sirjeffrey donaldson, who is favourite to be the next dup leader, has made it clear he plans to lead the party from stormont as first minister. a little earlier i spoke to our ireland correspondentjulian fowler, who told me more about today's developments. sirjeffrey donaldson expected

to become the new leader, currently he is the favourite, and it was thought he would keep paul givan in position, as his removal will create some political instability. but edwin poots stepped down afterjust 21 days as dup leader over his decision to agree a deal with sinn fein to introduce irish language legislation, in order to nominate his close political ally paul givan as first minister. but with that decision for edwin poots to go, it means paul givan will have to go too. jeffrey donaldson has made it clear he intends to leave westminster and come to stormont and lead the party as a first minister. what that will mean when paul givan does step down, michelle 0'neill as deputy first minister will also

have to go, which will lead to a seven—day period again when the dup and sinn fein will have to nominate to those positions. it could lead to more negotiations with the government, more demands, and that will mean more instability and itjust shows really once again how precarious power sharing can be at stormont. this might be a simplistic question but, given edwin poots was leader of the dup, why was he not himself first minister? that was his decision. it did cause some surprise. but when he stood in the leadership contest following the ousting of arlene foster as party leader and first minister, he made it clear if he became leader he wanted to remain as agriculture minister. part of his reasoning was as the agriculture minister he has some control over the ports and has a part to play in terms

of the implementation of the northern ireland protocol. that is the big issue facing unionism at the moment in northern ireland, the brexit irish sea border. edwin poots wanted to stay on as agriculture minister and so he decided to split that role. a majority of the party voted for him as leader and went along with that idea. three weeks on, many of those who sided with him are now having second thoughts. the son of a private investigator whose murder has remained unsolved for more than three decades has criticised the metropolitan police's response. earlier this week, an independent panel accused scotland yard of "a form of institutional corruption" over daniel morgan's case, a claim that was later rejected by the force's commissioner. sanchia berg reports. daniel morgan pictured

here with his children, just months before his death. his son, also called daniel, wasjust four years old when he was brutally killed. earlier this week, an independent panel found a form of institutional corruption in the metropolitan police helped explain the failure to solve daniel morgan's murder in a pub car park in south london 3a years ago. the metropolitan police commissioner, dame cressida dick, apologised to the morgan family and said she would take time to consider the panel's report. but she said she did not accept that the force was currently institutionally corrupt. i don't accept their apologies. i think we've heard enough apologies. i think it's time for action now and i'm not sure whether they are, with what they have said, the right institution or the right organisation to get to the bottom of the seriousness of all these allegations. i just don't see the metropolitan police as a credible organisation, and what they say makes it to me feel even less credible.

frankly, it makes me angry. the home secretary, priti patel, told parliament the report was devastating. she has asked the independent body that assesses the police whether it can look into the issues raised. it is the kind of independent oversight the morgan family are calling for. the headlines on bbc news... queues for covid vaccines as pop—up centres and walk—in clinics open in england in a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to all remaining adults. hardliner ebrahim raisi has been declared the winner of iran's presidential election in a poll in which most would—be candidates were barred from standing. northern ireland's new first minister, paul givan, has been told he will have to resign when a new dup leader is in place. sport now, and a full round up

from the bbc sport centre. hungary have held world champions france to a 1—1 draw in budapest and thrown group f in the european championship wide open. attila fiola scored the goal for the home sidejust prior to half time with a weaving run in the sweltering weather but when antoine griezman replied for france it looked as though didier deschamps's side had the upper hand but it finished level with portugal up against germany in munich at five o'clock it's the final day of the one off women's test between england and india in bristol with 108 overs scheduled for the day, india following on in their second innings have moved to 243—8 at tea

after most of friday was lost to the weather and the hosts are in a good position to claim victory later if they can take the last few wickets. india and new zealand got the inaugural world test championship final under way in the past few hours in southampton. after a first day lost completely to the weather the black caps won the toss and chose to field while india are currently 134—3, the players have gone off due to bad light. harlequins have completed the most extraordinary comeback beating bristol to reach rugby union's premiership final after they were 28—0 down at half time the match had finished at 31—31 at the end of normal time but two tries including this from joe marchant sealed the victory, 113—36 to harlequins. england's richard bland shares the clubhouse lead at the us open, heading into the third round which has just seen the first pairings head out at torrey pines in san diego. 48—year—old bland only won his first european tour event a few weeks ago and has only ever played in two majors. he's the oldest man to co lead the us open at the halfway stage.

golf is all i know. when times got tough and i lost my card two or three times, i thought what would i do, go and get an officejob? i'm not that intelligent, i'm afraid. it was right, ok, i'll get my head down and work hard, and i always knew i had the game to compete on the european tour at the highest level, i have always known that. but as any golf career, you're going to have peaks and troughs of course. i think every kind of sportsman and woman they have that never die or never quit attitude. at the queen's club in london, the british number two cameron norrie is in semifinal action in the cinch championships. this game is live on bbc two.

norrie won the first set 7—5, it's 3—3, norrie serving at 40—15. the number one seed is already through to the final. matteo berrettini, who's ranked ninth in the world, looked in good form as he beat australia's alex de minaur in straight sets, 6—4 6—4. heather watson is out of the viking classic in birmingham, after losing her semifinal against 0ns jabeur. the number two seed from tunisia beat watson in straight sets, 6—3 6—3. earlier today watson had beaten donna vekic in the quarterfinals to become the first british woman to get this far in the birmingham tournament sincejo durie in 1992. after the disappointment of crashing out of the last race max verstappen bounced back to claim pole in qualifying for tomorrow's french grand prix. the championship leader had dominated practice at paul ricard circuit and put his red bull on the top spot on the grid a quarter of a second ahead of world champion lewis hamilton. valtteri bottas in the other

mercedes will start from third. that's all the sport for now. senior conservatives have responded to the party's shock defeat in thursday's by—election in chesham and amersham, by warning the government not to "drift away" from its core voters. the conservative co—chairman, amanda milling, described the result as a "warning shot" by voters over the hs2 high—speed rail link and reforms of the planning system in england, which critics fear could reduce local influence over planning decisions. a little earlier our political correspondentjess parker explained what the by—election could mean for the conservatives. it's parts of the south and south—east particularly, where there are concerns that the reforms the government is putting forward could see more green spaces built on, in areas who feel they have already

had to take a lot of housing. so he was warning he wouldn't want to see the party drift away from its core voters as he said has happened to the labour party in parts of the midlands and north, traditional territory the conservatives took off labour to some extent in the last general election. you mentioned amanda milling, co—chair of the conservative party, i think in an effort to calm some nerves this morning, she has released a piece in the daily telegraph saying that the party is listening and that it is a warning shot, and trying to send a signal that they will pay attention to these concerns. but of course we will have to wait and see what the government comes out with in terms of planning reforms. we expect some firmer proposals later this year. labour has called on the government to give every worker the right to work flexibly before coronavirus restrictions are fully lifted in england next month. the party says the change will offer people a better "work—life balance", and has warned against a consultation process that kicks it

"into the long grass". figures from the office of national statistics suggest the proportion of people working from home more than doubled last year compared to 2019. last year, covid restrictions wiped out the uk's summer festival season. this year, despite many events being delayed or cancelled, some are going ahead. download festival, at donington park near derby, is one of them. it's taking place this weekend as part of the government's live event pilot scheme. the crowd is smaller and all those attending have had to have a negative covid test. our correspondent luxmy gopal reports. they seem like scenes from pre—pandemic times, rather than just this weekend. no masks and no keeping two metres apart. after all, you can't do social distancing in a mosh pit. the download festival pilot is a huge stepping up of the government's testing of live events. three days long, with capacity for 10,000 happy campers.

to be back here isjust... it's incredible. i will go through every guideline and jump through every hoop they want me to to get back here like this. live festivals are basically all i do with my spare time, and live music, so it isjust incredible to be able to be here again and experience that. strict measures are in place to allow this level of freedom at the site. the event will help guide government policy. people are going to be living on site so we are going to understand that kind of living and socialising interaction and also, we are going to have a large—scale stage type event and be able to look at the science and understanding of things like the mosh pits. we do the maximum in our power at events to reduce the risk. i think the question for the future is the one that you ask is what level of risk are we happy to take with the sort of events? i think we will be able to calibrate that through the research we are doing. data suggests cases are spreading mainly among the under—25s. around a fifth of people here are that demographic. that age group are gathering together wherever they are. what they are doing here is gathering together safely

because they have all been tested before they came. limits on crowd sizes at outdoor events were set to be lifted on monday, but rising infection rates have delayed that stage of the lockdown road map by a month. there will be further pilot events in the coming months to learn more about how crowds and covid safety can coexist. luxmy gopal, bbc news. it may not seem like the most obvious outlet for stress relief, but a new charity initiative which encourages screaming is proving popular in newcastle. it's one of a number of unorthodox techniques being used to help support frontline workers suffering from pandemic fatigue. megan paterson has been finding out more. music: children of the night by nakatomi. let's go. in a secluded corner of this gateshead park, nhs key workers are letting out the tension built up over the pandemic months. physically exhausted. er... when i go home, i can't

even talk about work. i just like to switch off. so it's been nice todayjust to get away from all the pressures at work, to take time for myself — which i haven't done for i don't know how long. keep doing your chanting — it doesn't matter if it sounds ridiculous! the one—day respite sessions organised by the peer—run recoco mental health charity offer a chance to shout, dance and drum away stress. some of the activities and exercises you'll have seen that we're doing, they look a bit daft, you know, but it works! it helps people kind of shake stuff off. it helps people realise what's going on in their body, where they're holding stress. i am enough, i am enough. it's helping people kind of realise their resilience, and learn management and coping mechanisms and techniques that can help them continue — because they've still got to go to work tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. today's group work in mental health services — their patients often confused and overwhelmed, covid procedure making things harder.

the most challenging thing over the last year has been— having to wear the masks. and a lot of our patients rely on our facial expressions. i it's because of that barrier, i suppose, it's been... - it's meant people have l struggled to understand. and that's been the toughest thing over the last year. - breathe out... from calming patients to dealing with increased demand on services, the workshops give staff a chance to share their experiences and find out ways that can help. you're stressed all the time. and it's using little techniques all the time. and people don't even see that you're using these techniques in connecting with your breath, and grounding yourself. just think about something that's happened at work. and if i can help one person, you know, recognise where that stress is and learn them techniques to deal with their stress, it's... it's brilliant. covid. .. arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! outlets like this at recoco are perfect for them, -

because they can just let go and not be the nurse, they can _ just be themselves. over the coming months, around 500 nhs staff members will take part in the sessions. so far, the reviews are positive. when you're at work it is really busy and you don't really have any time for yourself. so it's been nicejust to be able to come away and not think about everything else that's going on in the background, and just be able to, like, relax and take some of the good strategies that we've learnt away. unless you look after yourself, how are you going to look after somebody else ? they scream. megan paterson, bbc news, gateshead. feel better?! attempting tojoin attempting to join in. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. over the last few days we had a real deluge of rain across parts of the south of england. the wettest place was 0diham in north—east hampshire, picking up 72 millimetres of rain over the last three days. that compares with the month

average of 48 millimetres. it has been wetter over the last three days than the amount of rain we normally see all month. it has not been like that everywhere. across northern england, wales and scotland, it has been a dry month so far. edinburgh picking up five millimetres of rain so far this month. today it has been cloudy but we have had some breaks in the cloud. topsham in devon had a little bit of sunshine coming through. some scattered showers in scotland in particular but now looking down towards the south where we are looking at the next batch of thunderstorms developing across northern france. these will cross the channel. a prolonged spell of heavy rain working into parts of south—east england, really anywhere east from the isle of wight across hampshire into south—east england and east anglia, in for a real soaking. given how wet the weather has been recently, the rain could bring localised surface water flooding where it is heaviest. temperatures tonight on the mild side, 9—13 for most of us. tomorrow, any rain to start the day across eastern areas of england will tend to clear away further east

as the day goes by. we will be left with a lot of cloud, a few showers for scotland, this time moving into parts of northern ireland. a few cloud breaks again. northern ireland, south—west scotland and northern england and north—west wales the favoured spots for seeing those. temperatures are similar to today but a bit cooler around the eastern coasts where we will have onshore wind starting to develop. into monday, low pressure still to the south of the uk, still threatening rain across southern areas, but this ridge of high pressure builds further north and we will have much more in the way of sunshine developing across most of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, probably the north midlands and north west wales as well. that just leaves the far south where we will continue to have thicker cloud running in, threatening rain at times. that rain could potentially also affect southern parts of wales. there is a little uncertainty about that. the rain will clear out of the way and both cardiff and london will brighten up through wednesday, and indeed tuesday seeing a bit of sunshine. scotland and northern ireland,

there will be some rain on the way towards the end of the week. hello, this is bbc news with me, ben boulos. the headlines: queues for covid vaccines as pop—up centres and walk—in clinics open in england in a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to all remaining adults. hardliner ebrahim raisi has been declared the winner of iran's presidential election in a poll in which most would—be candidates were barred from standing. northern ireland's new first minister, paul givan, has been told he will have to resign when a new dup leader is in place. the son of a private investigator whose murder has remained unsolved for more than three decades criticises the metropolitan police's handling of the case. and rock fans from across the uk celebrate at the scaled down version of the download festival as it goes ahead as a test event.
