this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 7. a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to every adult in england is gathering speed, with queues forming outside pop—up vaccination centres. 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. it comes as scientists repeat their warnings that a third wave of infections is under way. i certainly believe it is the third wave. we are seeing the number of cases going up quite consistently now. and the beginnings of a rise in hospitalisations. i think we are all very optimistic that this will be different from the previous waves.

the son of the private investigator daniel morgan — whose murder remains unsolved more than three decades later — says he does not accept the metropolitan police's apology for their handling of the case. more turmoil at the top in northern ireland — new first minister paul givan has been told he must resign as his party looks for another leader. a hard—line cleric linked to political executions wins iran's presidential election. good evening. pop—up vaccination centres and walk—in clinics are opening 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 because of a rise in the number of cases. here's our health correspondent, katharine da costa. chelsea football stadium is used to hosting large crowds. now a pop—up vaccination centre. people packed in, ready to roll up their sleeves. for the first time, those aged 18—20 were eligible. for many, their turn couldn't come soon enough. my entire family is vaccinated so it is nice to finallyjoin them, and feel quite safe, be able to see my grandparents and not feel i will potentially infect. i'm really happy, i feel a lot safer and better. | elsewhere in the capital, london's olympic park welcomed 10,000 of those who had booked as well as those who turned up on the day. i think it's a fantastic effort by the nhs working with all our organisations.

this is about getting all our residents vaccinated, so pop—up campaigns like this are crucial tojust get more people vaccinated. a bumper weekend here, two, at manchester royal infirmary. more than 30 walking sites are being set up across the north west. it's the region with the highest rates of infection is in the country. first jabs won't stop a third wave overnight. it takes a few weeks to build immunity, but it's hoped the extra push to offer second shots which provide much better protection should avoid overwhelming the nhs. i suppose at the moment i'm cautiously hopeful that, whilst we probably will expect some sort of wave of hospital admissions over the next few weeks, it won't be the same scale we saw back in january. everyjab in every arm brings us closer to the so—called freedom day. hundreds of thousands of people across the country are expected to turn out for another super saturday. katharine da costa, bbc news.

the latest government figures show that in the past 2a hours, 1a deaths were reported — and 10,321 new infections were recorded. that means an average of 9,109 new cases per day in the last week. nearly 219,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period. 42.6 million people have now had theirfirstjab , that's 81 percent of uk adults. nearly 189,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period. more than 31 million people have now had both doses ——that�*s 59 percent of uk adults. earlier, professor adam finn of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation, told us about the latest rise in infections and how it

compares to previous waves. so, i certainly believe it's the third wave. we're seeing the number of cases going up quite consistently now and the beginnings of a rise in hospitalisations. but in terms of the second part of your question, i think we're all very optimistic that this will be different from the previous waves, and the early signs are that, indeed, it will be different. the age distribution of the hospitalisations is much more even over the different age ranges without that very large waiting ——weighting towards the very elderly, which is a clear pointer that the vaccination programme is making a difference. figures we've got at the moment suggest that if you've had two doses of the vaccine and get this infection, you're 20 times less likely to end up in hospital, and if you've had one dose of the vaccine at least a couple of weeks ago, you're about four times less likely to end up in hospital.

so, the vaccines are very definitely improving the risks when it comes to the risk of getting seriously ill. but also, to some extent, reducing down the risks of you infecting somebody else if you get the infection, but the exact degree to which they do that is less certain. where there have been pop up vaccination centres, walk—in well, what's happening at the moment with these walk—in centres will influence what happens in middle, latejuly and august time. what's influencing what's happening right now is what happened up until the end of may. so, vaccines do have a built—in delay to their effects, but you are always gaining yourself ground for the future by doing this. so, the more people come in and get immunised now, the better position we're going to be later in the summer as this third wave lays itself out. professor markjit is a vaccine epidemiologist at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. he's been explaining that the number

of cases is a cause for concern. i think we are already seeing a third wave, the proportion of people who are getting positive who are getting positive when tested go up. we are seeing the number of cases go up. we are starting to see the number of hospital admissions and deaths go up, sadly. these are always a few weeks after the cases go up and now we are finally seeing them go up, so i think we are well in the beginning of the third wave. i think the link between getting covid and being in hospitals and dying has been weak can know that lots of people, especially the most vulnerable have been vaccinated, but it has not been broken completely. these vaccines are really effective but not 100% effective. if people get two doses of the vaccine, they might have 90 or 95% lower chance of getting hospitalised or dying, but that still leaves that 5 or 10% of people,

and when you multiply that by lots of people getting infected, that is still a fair number of deaths, although a lot less less than we would have seen without vaccination. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are joe mayes from bloomberg, and sian griffiths from the sunday times. meanwhile people in england who have had both covid jabs and come into contact with someone infected with covid, could be spared having to isolate for 10 days. that's if trials, currently under way, prove the idea is effective. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticasjoins me now. so what would happen instead of quarantining? essentially it is daily testing. as you say this only applies to people who have been double vaccinated. you

would have to have had both your covid vaccines and allowed a couple of weeks to allow that to come to pass, your antibodies to be built up. then what they are looking at with these trials, what they are looking at with the 40,000 people involved at the minute, instead of having to isolate for coming into contact with someone with the cove symptoms, you take a daily test in the morning, a rapid lateralflow test, if it is negative you are allowed out for the day. the next morning you have to do the same again and so on for a week. after a week you are clear. that is what they are examining. the government also say they are attracted to the idea, but they are waiting to see. i would say this would appeal to many people. these are trials, like you just said. how long before it is possibly implemented? interesting, last week 60,000 _ possibly implemented? interesting, last week 60,000 people _ possibly implemented? interesting, last week 60,000 people were - possibly implemented? interesting, last week 60,000 people were self| last week 60,000 people were self isolating because of this, so quite a lot of people over time could be affected, but they say they have to wait and see the results of the

trials. we get preliminary results in a few weeks. the poll results public not until later in the summer. you'rejust public not until later in the summer. you're just using public not until later in the summer. you'rejust using it minutes ago about how the vaccination seem to be very effective at preventing serious illness. 0ne to be very effective at preventing serious illness. one thing they are not too clear about, effective are they preventing onward transmission? so there are those sorts of things being looked at. i think they want to look at also letting everybody, all adults have the chance to have the vaccine before they think about bringing something like this in, but ultimately need to test results at the end of the summer and the medical decision is what it will be down to. ,, w' medical decision is what it will be down to. ,, , ., medical decision is what it will be downto. ,, , ., ., down to. quick question on the tests. down to. quick question on the tests- every — down to. quick question on the tests. every day _ down to. quick question on the tests. every day for _ down to. quick question on the tests. every day for seven - down to. quick question on the | tests. every day for seven days, it's going to cost. i know it is early days, but any details on whether the test would be free and which test it would be? i whether the test would be free and which test it would be?— which test it would be? i think they robabl which test it would be? i think they probably don't _ which test it would be? i think they probably don't mind _ which test it would be? i think they probably don't mind we _ which test it would be? i think they probably don't mind we don't - which test it would be? i think they| probably don't mind we don't know, probably don't mind we don't know, probably yes would be the answer to that. i think the idea is that this is all part of trying to different

sorts of more normal patterns of life, once everyone has been vaccinated a new line, with the prediction that vaccine scout. so the idea would be that this would encourage people to maybe get back out to work, possibly be used in things like schools as well. so, i think if it proves, and the doctors and the medics think this is something worth following, then the idea would be to try and make us wide use of it is possible. but it all hinges on the science. 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 34 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 dups 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. the irish political commentator, sarah creighton, is with us now from belfast. thank you forjoining us here. on bbc news. this is all coming across

as if the dup has fractures, and lots of them. what on earth is going on? . , , ., , lots of them. what on earth is going on? . , , , lots of them. what on earth is going on? , ., on? really this has been a disastrous _ on? really this has been a disastrous number- on? really this has been a disastrous number of - on? really this has been a l disastrous number of weeks on? really this has been a - disastrous number of weeks for the dup and its disastrous couple of days for the dup as well. really what has happened is that when edwin became the new dup leader sinn fein became the new dup leader sinn fein became concerned that the dup would not progress with the irish legislation language agreed last year and the new decade new approach deal that brought back stormont in january last year and there's this they weren't going to progress. this and edwin poots did not give them the assurances they wanted and the secretary of state stepped in and said he was prepared to legislate for the irish language in westminster if necessary. edwin poots agreed with that but they seem to did not get the consent of his party to do so and are such that the meeting and basically he resigned. now we have paul being told to step

down, a party does not know where it is going at the moment. does down, a party does not know where it is going at the moment.— down, a party does not know where it is going at the moment. does go back as far as what — is going at the moment. does go back as far as what is _ is going at the moment. does go back as far as what is taking _ is going at the moment. does go back as far as what is taking place - is going at the moment. does go back as far as what is taking place with - as far as what is taking place with edwin poots? the irish minister simon coveney said the dup has had a terrible number of weeks. doesn't it go beyond if you terrible number of weeks? physical beyond arlene foster? because they have done quite well up until now.— well up until now. goes back to arlene foster _ well up until now. goes back to arlene foster and _ well up until now. goes back to arlene foster and i _ well up until now. goes back to arlene foster and i think - well up until now. goes back to arlene foster and i think it - well up until now. goes back to| arlene foster and i think it goes backin arlene foster and i think it goes back in the dup history but fundamentally this is about the party that has made a number of catastrophic mistakes over the past few years, really, decades... relate. that depends on your opinion. the party are struggling to grapple with his mistakes and i don't think it is ready to recognise those mistakes until it does so i do not think it will be able to move on. ., ., , ., ., on. you mention the irish language, art of on. you mention the irish language, part of these — on. you mention the irish language, part of these latest _ on. you mention the irish language, part of these latest discussions - on. you mention the irish language, part of these latest discussions to i part of these latest discussions to be a first minister in place, but now we have the northern ireland protocol being thrown into the mix.

there were protests that took place on friday, basically they were saying that you cannot have a new minister until the northern ireland protocol is abandoned. what exactly is going on there?— is going on there? essentially what the line seems _ is going on there? essentially what the line seems to _ is going on there? essentially what the line seems to be _ is going on there? essentially what the line seems to be released - is going on there? essentially what the line seems to be released at i is going on there? essentially what. the line seems to be released at the northern ireland protocol is caused a lot of anger within the unionist communities and a sense that the goodwill has gone and anybody party wage has been decided that if the unionist and loyalist aren't going with the protocol the irish public is going to serve the irish line which legislation of a promise and that's depressing and sends a message to people in northern ireland about whether this place can be shared or not. i think the concern is that the dup are going to come up when paul givan steps down, going to make some demands of the british government in respect of the protocol, and going to respond to the anger on the ground and nothing thatis the anger on the ground and nothing that is worrying for the institutions going forward. the as if they they're _ institutions going forward. the as if they they're pretty _ institutions going forward. the as if they they're pretty high - institutions going forward. the as if they they're pretty high here. i

if they they're pretty high here. they are. —— the stakes. the concern is that dup will be faced with the same problem, will they a greater progress of the irish language legislation? if they don't, and to say when paul givan resigns, sinn fein have to resign as well. that will trigger an election, and at the end of that election, the problems are still the same, the institutions come down and will not come back in the same form they are today... if they don't, not to say when paul givan resigns, sinn fein have to resign as well. that will trigger an election, and at the end of that election, the problems are still the same, the institutions come down and will not come back in the same form they are they don't, not to say when paul givan resigns, sinn fein have to resign as well. that will trigger an election, and at the end of that election, the problems are still the same, the institutions come down and will not come back in the same form they are today, i think what we're talking about here is a complete change, possibly direct pro coming in further down the line. sir geoffrey — in further down the line. sir geoffreyjohnson has made it quite clear he wants the post. does he have the support of the party cosmic in what is his vision for the direction of the dup? he in what is his vision for the direction of the dup? , , ., , direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate- — direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i _ direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i think— direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i think the _ direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i think the word - direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i think the word is - the candidate. i think the word is that he will get the coordination

and a couple of weeks' time if he does become dup leader. i think what he is hoping for as he will be able to restore order and credibility of the party after this disaster, but fundamentally the challenges he faces are the challenges that edwin poots faces, and i think it is questionable about whether he can navigate them as well. going back to edwin poots again, there was a fractious time for the dup. the party is clearly divided. the people that were loyal to edwin poots, they might well welcome someone is coming in. fundamentally this factions still exist at the same time, while the party is united at the minute against edwin poots, win a year later comes in, those factions will still exist. —— when a new leader comes in. the headlines on bbc news... a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to every adult in england is gathering speed, with queues forming outside pop—up vaccination centres. it comes as scientists repeat their warnings that a third wave of infections is under way: criticism of the metropolitan police by the son of a private investigator whose murder remains unsolved more than three decades later. northern ireland's first minister paul givan has been told he will have to resign once a new leader is elected

by the democratic unionist party. 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. 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. the bbc persian�*s kasra naji gave this update. he has won about 18.4 million votes, and the turnout apparently is about 48%, 49%, which is the lowest ever since the iranian revolution years ago. 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. a private equity firm has confirmed it is considering a takeover bid for the uk's fourth largest

supermarket chain morrisons. our business correspondent katie prescott explains the background. it really is just a consideration. it might seem a little bit out of the blue, but when you look at who is involved in this private equity firm in this takeover business, it starts to make a little bit more sense. this is a 40—year—old private equity firm, they've made several investments in uk retail in the past, very successful investments, for example, the retail chain b&m from which they made more than £1 million. if you look at their board, it is made up of a former boss of tesco who used to work with the current management of morrisons, so there's lots of reasons why this firm in particular might go for morrisons, which is seen as an attractive proposition, particularly for a foreign firm. uk shares at the moment are quite cheap compared to businesses

from abroad and morrisons is doing pretty well. its sales are up 5% in the first—half of this year and it owns a massive property portfolio as well, 85% of its shops owned and one analyst i spoke to said they're worth about £7 billion —owned by morrisons. you can see why a firm from the states might look at morrisons and think it is an attractive company to look to buy. it's very early stages. the company is yet to make a formal offer. that has to come in the next 28 days. morrisons can employ more than 120,000 people here in the uk and there will be a certain amount of concern hearing this. it is worth looking at the track record of the firm involved here, they have made long—term investments in uk businesses in the past, in uk retail, and they really do invest for the long term. looking at their track record they want to grow the business, so at this stage there isn't a sense of what might happen

to the workers, if anything. 20 million people watched scotland play england on tv yesterday, as well as 22,500 fans at wembley. it was the first time the 2 home nations have met in a one—off encounter at a major men's football tournament in 25 years. the game ended 0—0 but scottish fans were delighted, after their earlier defeat by the czech republic. frankie mccamley reports. the day after the night that gave scotland hope. arriving into glasgow, some very happy fans. went in as underdogs and came out fighting last night, so, aye, it was a great performance. delighted. trailing behind at london euston, some very tired fans, as the huge clean—up operation took place around leicester square. the square is starting to regain some sense of normality, but there is damage that's going to take some time to fix. this water fountain used to be surrounded by a flower bed. it's now caked in mud, bottles and cans. i think we probably could have done it a wee bit better,

supporter—wise, for the mess. ijust hope it doesn't take too long to clean up. if there's fan zones, everybody's controlled, and that's kind of what you want. singing the lack of official space meant many stayed at home. glasgow's george square packed full of supporters. but thousands of other members of the tartan army went to london anyway, ignoring warnings not to come without a ticket. blue and white drenched every street corner. # yes, sir, i can boogie... #. and boogie they did — well into the night. it wasn't a win, but it was the result scotland needed. the dream stays alive on both sides of the border. frankie mccamley, bbc news. 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. its taking place this weekend as part of the governments �*live event pilot scheme'. the crowd is smaller and all those attending have had to have a negative covid test. 0ur 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor the festival season trying to kick back into gear. the rain returns to our shores. back into gear. the rain returns to ourshores. more back into gear. the rain returns to our shores. more to come tonight. across england and wales, get ready for more in the way of heavy rain at times. if you like to because god at the moment. they will fade away. the rain here moving up from france. some of the heaviest could be across kent, norfolk... thunderstorm is not out of question. if you have your burst elsewhere but for most it will come and go to the night was top scot in the northern ireland, some of the dry conditions, not as chilly as last night but the best of the morning practice tomorrow. england and wales largely cloudy, damp —— clearing into the north sea. cloudy

for many, best descent into the south coast and in northern england motor. showers into scotland and northern ireland later, sunshine here. down the eastern coast, you will notice more of a breeze coming in of the north sea, making it feel to think the chili. last week we were up to 25 degrees, the sunday probably around 13—16. into sunday evening and overnight, more rain returns from the south. scotland and northern ireland will enjoy the purchase of the weather on monday. —— brightest. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to every adult in england is gathering speed, with queues forming outside pop—up vaccination centres. it comes as scientists repeat their warnings that a third wave of infections is underway. 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's doing the heavy lifting, that's what's doing as much as possible
