this is 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. 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 underway: 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. and at 10:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewersjoe mays and sian griffiths — stay with us for that. 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. we'll have more on that in our main news bulletin in a few minutes�* time. it comes as scientists repeated their warnings about a so—called "third wave" of covid cases. earlier, professor adam finn of thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation told us how the latest rise in infections 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 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. they're 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. 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. 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. 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 report into daniel morgan's murder accused scotland yard of "a form of institutional

corruption" — a claim that has been rejected by the force's commissioner. 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 political commentator, sarah creighton, told me how the dup got itself into its current predicament. 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 concerned

that the dup would not progress with the irish legislation language agreed last year and the new decade agreed last year in the new decade new approach deal that brought back stormont in january last year and there's this concern they weren't going to progress. 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 it seems he did not get the consent of his party to do so and such they had a 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 it go back 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 this few terrible number of weeks? does it go beyond arlene foster? because they have done quite well up until now. it goes back to 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, really. that depends on your opinion. the party are struggling to grapple with its 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. you mention the irish language, part of these latest discussions to put 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?

what the line seems to be is that the northern ireland protocol has caused a lot of anger within the unionist communities and a sense that the goodwill has gone and in a patty way has been decided that if the unionist and loyalist aren't going with the protocol the irish public, they don't deserve 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, 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 that is worrying for the institutions going forward. the stakes sound as if they they're pretty high here. they are. the concern is that dup will be faced with the same problem, will they agree to progress with 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, if the problems are still the same, if 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. sirjeffrey donaldson has made it quite clear he wants the post. does he have the support of the party> cosmic does he have the support of the party? and what is his vision for the direction of the dup? he seems to be the candidate. i think the word is that he will get the coronation in a couple weeks. 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, that 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 those factions still exist at the same time, and while the party is united at the minute against edwin poots, when a new leader comes in, those factions will still exist. efforts accelerate to offer the coronavirus vaccine to every adult in england. tens of thousands turn out to be inoculated at stadiums and football grounds across the country. i mm very happy, ifeel a lot safer and calmer. i'm feeling really good, yes, great. it's a relief to be able to get the second dose. and could a new trial mean those in england who are double—jabbed avoid quarantine after coming into contact with covid? also tonight... a hardline cleric wins iran's

presidential election in a race widely seen as designed to favour him. and wales eye the final 16 of the euros as they prepare to take on italy tomorrow. good evening. a major push to offer coronavirus jabs to every adult in england is under way, with queues forming outside pop—up vaccination centres. football grounds and parks are among the venues being used across the country, as every person over the age of 18 is now eligible to book either online or by phoning 119. 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's 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. i feel quite safe, being able to see my grandparents and not feel kind of like i'm going to potentially infect her. i feel better about going home, like, with my parents and stuff. elsewhere in the capital, london's olympic park welcomes 10,000 people who'd booked, as well as those who turned up on the day. making vaccines more accessible is part of efforts to boost take—up in the city. 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. this hospital in manchester is one of more than 30 walk—in sites across the north west. there is no need to book or be registered with a gp. all adults are being urged to come forward as the region tackles the highest infection rates

in the country. vaccines have weakened the link between catching covid and ending up in hospital or dying but it's not been broken. as we can see here, daily hospital admissions are gradually rising but not at the same rate we've seen in previous waves, shown by these spikes. that's why the priority is to roll out more second doses, which offer high levels of protection from falling seriously ill. i am, i suppose at the moment, cautiously hopeful that whilst we probably would expect some sort of wave of hospitalisations over the next few weeks, it won't be the same scale we saw back in january. the new target's to offer all adults a first dose and two thirds of the over 40s a second dose by the 19th ofjuly. everyjab in every arm brings us closer to the so—called freedom day. katharine de 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 24—hour period. 42.6 million people have now had theirfirstjab, that's 81% of uk adults. nearly 189,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. more than 31 million people have now had both doses, that's 59% of uk adults. 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 ten 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? instead of your ten days that you have to do when you come into contact with someone who is positive

and has symptoms, you would do a daily test in the morning, a rapid lateralflow daily test in the morning, a rapid lateral flow test. if clear you are free to go that day. you'd have to do it everyday for seven days and at the end of that you would be fine to go. that would only apply to people who are double vaccinated, as you say. the idea is being looked at, there's a trial going on with 40,000 people we understand taking part. last week 60,000 were isolating. so it could help quite a lot. results of the trial due at the end of the summer, which is when the decision will be made. summer, which is when the decision will be made-— the hardline cleric ebrahim raisi has won iran's presidential election in a race that was widely seen as being designed to favour him, with low turnout across the country. mr raisi is iran's topjudge and holds ultra—conservative views. he is under us sanctions and has been linked to past executions of political prisoners. bbc persia's kasra naji reports. for many iranians, it's been a dark day.

the hardline head of thejudiciary, ebrahim raisi, has won, in elections that offered no real choice for the electors and no serious challenges for him. the interior minister says he wonjust over 18 million votes, with the lowest turnout in 42 years, since the islamic revolution in 1979. a good number of iranians have been alienated from the political process, particularly the young, many of whom are tired of living in fear. mr raisi is best known for his role in signing off on the execution of thousands of political prisoners in the 1980s. now, many iranians are dreading what might be in store for them. more restrictions on freedoms, tighter controls on social media, internet and the press, more than before, and fewer

rights and jobs for women. translation: i want to say to others, be yourself. - don't be afraid, even if they put you in a police van, like me. tensions will continue in iran's relations with the west. iran may turn more towards china and russia, to bail it out of the current desperate economic mess. kasra naji, bbc news. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucetjoins me now. what will his first priorities be, at home and abroad? as we've heard, at home it's the economy. iranians are reeling from the painful impact of the coronavirus, government corruption and the crippling us sanctions. ebrahim raisi campaigned on an anti—corruption platform, so iranians will be watching closely on that front. he's also made it clear

that front. he's also made it clear that he supports iran's nuclear deal with world powers including the west, mainly because he knows iran is desperate for sanctions relief, although he is deeply suspicious of the west, just like the man who is essentially in charge of iran's foreign policy, supreme leader i tollo khamenei. by the time he's inaugurated, negotiations in vienna to revive the deal may have concluded, but there are still a lot of other really tough issues on iran's foreign policy agenda, including a personal issue for raisi himself. he has already been sanctioned by the us and the eu for his part in mass executions in 1988, in a violent crackdown against protesters. so there is another dark cloud over these elections that won't be lifted any time soon. thank ou. former speaker of the house

of commons and previously tory mp john bercow says he has switched allegiance to join labour. he said the government "needs to be replaced" and sir keir starmer�*s party "is the only vehicle that can achieve that objective". the government says his move isn't a surprise and it's continuing to pursue an ambitious agenda. 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. 0ur correspondent luxmy gopal has joined the music fans. the closest return to normality yet, a 10,000 capacity crowd and no masks or social distancing. this weekend's download festival pilot is the latest in the government's testing of live events, and hosts the first legal mosh pit since the start of the pandemic. to be back here, it's incredible. i'll go through every guideline

and jump through every hoop they want me to do get back here like this. live festivals are basically what i want to do with my spare time, and live music, so it'sjust incredible to be here again and experience that. everyone attending the festival has had to get a negative result in their lateral flow test and in their pcr test and fill out a questionnaire on their health online. people are going to be living on site, we are going to understand that sort of living and socialising interaction but also we're going to have a large—scale stage—type events and be able to look at the science and understanding of the things like the mosh pits. covid levels have risen recently, with most cases amongst the under 25s. 0ne fifth of people here fall into that demographic. that age group are gathering together, wherever they are. actually what they're doing here is gathering together safely because they're all being tested before they gather. limits on crowd sizes were set to be lifted on monday by

but advising infection rates have delayed that until next month. further pilot events will be announced in the coming weeks to learn more about how crowds and covid safety can coexist. luxmy gopal, bbc news. with all the sport now, here's chetan pathak at the bbc sport centre. thanks martine, good evening. after that england—scotland draw, the spotlight shifts to wales who take on italy tomorrow in the european championship. their toughest test so far of the group stage. from rome, hywel griffith reports. italian football is having a renaissance. the national team has played 29 games without a loss. to beat the azzurri here will require, well, an olympic effort. it is another brilliant ball and it is in this time. wales arrived buoyed by wednesday's 2—0 win against turkey. the result means they are almost guaranteed a place in the next round, but they haven't come to rome to relax. we still have the mentality we want to try and win the group, we want to win the game.

yes, i think that is the best way to approach this and we will be doing all we can to do that. the players know the atmosphere in the stadium will be intense, intimidating, with only a few hundred welsh fans to cheer them on. thousands more have stayed at home, heeding the official advice not to travel because of the pandemic. those who have made the journey will be dreaming of something like this. the last time wales beat italy was almost 20 years ago in cardiff. what a goal! there is at least a little hope in the eternal city that history can be repeated. hywel griffith, bbc news, rome. there was plenty of drama and goals at euro 2020 today, as hungary held the world champions france, whilst the defending european champions portugal were beaten by germany. joe lynskey was watching. this was euro 2020 heavyweight saturday, four previous winners with superstar players and portugal have one man who thrives on this stage.

and after the disappointment of crashing out of his last race, max verstappen bounced back to claim pole in qualifying for tomorrow's french grand prix. the championship leader, who's dominated the weekend so far, put his red bull top of the grid, a quarter of a second ahead of lewis hamilton. there's more on the bbc sport website including the latest from the us open golf. but that's all from me, for now, goodnight. and finally, one of india's greatest athletes, milkha singh, has died of covid—related complications at the age of 91. he was popularly known as "the flying sikh", winning four gold medals at the asian games and finishing fourth in the 400 metres at the 1960 rome 0lympics. 0ur india correspondent yogita limaye takes a look back at his life. with each run, milkha singh pushed a newborn india to dream bigger. his ownjourney, rooted in his nation's tragedy.

his family was killed in religious violence during the partition of british india in 1947. he escaped on a train, hiding in the women's compartment. a refugee, an orphan. and in 1958, at the commonwealth games in cardiff, a sprinter — seen here as he stunned record holders. commentator: and milkha singh, milkha singh of india. _ translation: | could feell the closest runner was right behind me so i pushed as hard as i could. after that, the indian anthem played and 100,000 people in the uk stood up for it. "i was told i had made india shine in the world," milkha singh said a few years ago. he's inspired generations of athletes. indian icon anju bobby george is one of them. milkha ji, thank you very much

hello, this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment withjoe mayes and sian griffiths. first, the headlines. —— weather. clearing it's way off into the north sea as we go through the day, and leaving a legacy and developing easterly breeze. into the morning, not too chilly at this stage, and not too chilly at this stage, and not as chilly as it was on saturday morning. lots of cloud around an outbreaks of rain, heavy bursts towards the east of england in particular. that will gradually ease away. a few showers will develop

across some southern counties of england. at the same time, after some sunny spells,
