sectors of the market, some business travel, probably will not recover for longer than that. it is a devastating load to the aviation sector but that is trouble for the uk economy. if we do not have a thriving aviation sector, will have grounded britain. former speaker of the house of commons and former tory mp john bercow says he has changed allegiances to join labour. in an interview mr bercow said the government needed to be replaced, calling boris johnson's conservative party "reactionary, populist, nationalistic and sometimes even xenophobic". he says he's "motivated by support for equality, socialjustice and internationalism and that is the labour brand". a service of remembrance will take place today to mark the first anniversary of the murders of three men killed in an islamist attack in reading. david wails, joe ritchie—bennett and james furlong were stabbed to death while sitting together in a park last summer.

a campaign has now been launched to fund a permanent memorial to the trio. the number of people who have died from coronavirus in brazil has passed half a million — the second highest death toll in the world after the us. experts fear the outbreak will continue to worsen in the coming weeks, because of slow vaccination rates and the start of winter, as mark lobel reports. as covid deaths reach 500,000 here, the painful goodbyes continue. brazil's health minister tweeted the grim news of the 500,000 lives lost, saying that he is working tirelessly to vaccinate all brazilians in the shortest time possible and to change this scenario that has plagued brazilfor over a year. but some blame the government for that, accusing them of initially letting the virus spread, to build up herd immunity, and for rejecting masks and social distancing, leading to visible anger

at this unenviable milestone. at these protests, replicated in dozens of cities across brazil, there is particular fury aimed at one man, brazil's president, jair bolsonaro, for his handling of this health emergency. translation: the feeling here is one of indignation. | we can't stand it any more. the government is worse than the virus. translation: he took too long to buy the vaccine. - herd immunity won't do any good. the only immunity you can get is with the vaccine. there's no other way. i've lost many friends, almost lost a cousin. millions of people are orphans, fatherless, motherless and childless. reducing hospitalizations remains a challenge here, as in many parts of the world. with only 11% of the population fully vaccinated, and 29% having

had their first dose and with winter on its way, brazil's covid fight remains fraught. mark lobel, bbc news. there have been further warnings of wildfires for much of america's south west as the region battles an intense heatwave. mountain ranges across arizona have been scorched and a state of emergency has been declared in california where temperatures have climbed above 54 degrees celsius. residents have been urged to stay in doors and limit their use of energy and water after a severe drought left rivers and reservoirs running dry. wales will be looking to secure their place in the euros knock—out stage, when they take on italy, in rome later today. wales have all but guaranteed their spot with four points so far, thanks to a drawn with switzerland, followed by a win over turkey earlier this week.

italy are already through to the last 16. good luck to them later on. very exciting. tributes have been paid to one of india's greatest athletes, milkha singh, who has died at the age of 91. known as �*the flying sikh', he won four gold medals at the asian games, and finished fourth 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 own journey 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! "i could feel 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, thank you very much for giving us — showing us the path to success. last post played on trumpets. milkha singh was given state honours. india has lost so many to covid. today, a national hero.

eastern england and live through northern england towards wales as well. quite a lot of cloud around, a drab and drizzly start behind it as well but the story will improve into the afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland a little more straightforward, sunny spells and scattered showers drifting towards the scottish border into northern ireland by the afternoon. there will be a little sunshine breaking out further south and that is where we are likely to see the highest temperatures, 22 degrees, 72 fahrenheit. as i say, that easterly trees is driving the cloud. as we go through sunday evening we still keep a few isolated showers across south—east scotland but look at this. down on the south more widespread rain developing across the channel coast. a lot of cloud around generally across england and wales. clear skies sending temperatures to skin single figures for scotland. this low pressure will bring heavy rain into the low countries and just on the northern

edge of that interact with the southern england. so south of the m4 corridor we could start monday with rain around. a lot of cloud generally across england and wales. best of the sunshine is likely in scotland and northern ireland where we could see temperatures still a little down on recent days. mid— high teens. the reason it is down because of a light northerly breeze driving a cool air source. so with clear skies developing through the night, look at these temperatures dropping away to single figures. that's not what you want to hear for the middle part ofjune but tuesday will be a drier and sunny day foremost and in fact the best of the week. some sunshine coming through and temperatures recovering on the cool side along the east coast. there will be rain gradually arriving into the far north—west in the middle part of the week and that will sink steadily south. the general story is what that's settled

some sunshine and heat for the week ahead. something a little more like ahead. something a little more like a usual summer. it afraid better cloud temperatures up and down. there you go. we will have more from louise later. we were just chatting as well. we were discussing whether the weather was good to be outside on the beach. it's been one of the biggest challenges of the pandemic, keeping young children entertained while stuck indoors. well, for one family in hull, their attempt to engage their five—year—old son in art has had an unexpected outcome — his work has been selected to appear in a royal academy exhibition. let's take a look. hello. my name is vincent and i am

an artist. i started doing an animal for each letter of the alphabet starting with t, all the way around and back. i looked up pictures of animals on mummy�*s phone. and i chose the one that i liked the best. i noticed at the start of the first lockdown that vincent's attention span was getting really narrow and his window of concentration was getting really short. 0n the days when he did a drawing he would eat better. he would eat a better tea and sleep it up. so drawing animals and sleep it up. so drawing animals and during the school week we always have weekends off so we try to use it as a school project. we entered

the sunday telegraph says health secretary matt hancock failed to tell the prime minister about a study showing the effectiveness of covid vaccines during a meeting to decide whether to extend restrictions in england. however, a government source tells the telegraph that "equivalent data" to the study was shown to borisjohnson and other senior ministers at the meeting. and i think this is all around the discussion about whether it is appropriate to keep these current measures in place for another month. there has been a lot of resistance to that. the sunday times says downing street and the treasury are at loggerheads over borisjohnson's multi—million pound spending pledges. the headline calls him a "profligate pm". the mail on sunday has a royal splash. it reports a claim that prince charles has vowed that harry and meghan's son — archie — will never be a prince under the new slimmed down monarchy. a palace spokesman told the paper they don't comment on speculation over succession. and it was musical royalty trending on twitter overnight. paul weller played a concert with the bbc symphony orchestra in london last month — which was broadcast on bbc 2 last night — prompting a flood

with the sport. good morning, gavin. a big game coming up wales versus italy later on. there is a lot of talk about italy being unbeaten but wales have only lost once in the last 15 competitive game so it could be set up for an exciting match. i don't know if they will do it. it is formidable at home in rome. surely ital will formidable at home in rome. surely ltaly will rest — formidable at home in rome. surely italy will rest players. _ formidable at home in rome. surely italy will rest players. they - formidable at home in rome. surely italy will rest players. they are - italy will rest players. they are lookin: italy will rest players. they are looking good — italy will rest players. they are looking good at _ italy will rest players. they are looking good at the _ italy will rest players. they are looking good at the moment i italy will rest players. they are j looking good at the moment to potentially go through and you would want them to get a draw to make sure that they are ok, effectively. i think it will be a great match. after that england scotland draw on friday night, the home nations spotlight shifts to wales who take on italy in the european championship later. it's their toughest test so far of the group stage. from rome, griffith reports. italian football is having a renaissance. the national team has played 29 games without loss, to be

they looked their old selves. with this 4—2 win in munich, hopes will rise that once again, germany are contenders. few gave hungary a chance against france, but in budapest, they have the noise behind them. goodness me — the world champions are behind! attila fiola's goal stirred 60,000 fans. it would've been this euro's biggest shock, but france came back. comes to griezmann! 1-1! still, this is what a draw meant to hungary. they're group f's outsiders but they're still in it. it was also 1—1 between spain and poland. both sides' euro hopes are in the balance. football has waited a year for days like today. joe lynskey, bbc news. england had to make do with a draw in the one—off test match with india, after the tourists produced a brilliant batting display on the final day. it had been looking good for england with sophie ecclestone taking 4 wickets but india rallied

with sneh rana and taniya bhatia staying at the crease for a partnership of 104 and to ensure that the four—day match was drawn. after the first day was a wash out, bad light ended play early on the second day of the world test championship final. between india and new zealand in southampton. put into bat, rohit sharma was the first indian wicket to fall, bowled by kyle jamieson and caught by tim southee on 34. india were 88 for 3 but virat kohli — along with ajinkya rahane — helped to steady things, kohli's unbeaten on 44, they'll resume play today on 146 for 3. the british number two, cameron norrie, is looking good ahead of wimbledon. he's through to the final at queen's club as he chases his first atp title. norrie beat the second seed denis shapovalov in straight sets 7—5 6—3. he'll play italy's matteo berrettini, in the final this afternoon — the number one seed, who's already knocked out brits dan evans and andy murray. i watched him a lot throughout the

week. he has a huge serve an he is one of the best place on the tour. he likes the dropped shot. maybe i will have a chat with andy to see if they have any tips for me. it is not going to be easy. but there was disappointment for heather watson, who lost to 0ns jabeur of tunisia. watson was the first british woman to reach the semi—finals at the birmingham tournament since 1992 but the number two seed beat her in straight sets, 6—3 6—3. harlequins pulled off the biggest comeback in the history of the premiership to book their place in next weekend's final. after trailing 28—0 to bristol bears 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 and a place in the premiership final. where they'll face exeter chiefs — a final try from alex cuthbert and a penalty from joe simmonds was enough to send the chiefs to twickenham as they beat sale sharks 40 points to 30 lewis hamilton will have his work cut out to make it a hat—trick

of french grand prix wins this afternoon after max verstappen beat him to pole. championship leader verstappen dominated practice and qualifying at paul ricard circuit in the south of france. the dutchman was quarter of a second ahead of hamilton who's mercedes team mate valtteri bottas will start from third. we are pushing and giving everything we can but they have a stronger package at the moment but we are close. i think today they by betting us mostly on the straight as far as i am aware of. the feature race on the final day of this year's royal ascot meeting, the diamond jubilee stakes was won by the 3—1 favourite, dream of dreams ridden by ryan moore — it gives sir michael stoute 82 ascot wins overall, more than any other trainer. the queen was in attendance for the first time this week, the only time she has missed ascot since 1946 was last year during the pandemic

we're on an adventure across the uk, as it opens up for travel again. yes! we're open! from rugged coastlines, to breathtaking landscapes. and natural habitats. see that? 0urjourney will take us to the four nations that make up the united kingdom. and with an eye on our carbon footprint, we're in an all electric revamp of an iconic british motor. on this week's show i'm travelling the width of england's biggest county, north yorkshire. home of seaside treats... you know something's really good when you're sucking as hard as you can and you just can't get anything out. ..uphill climbs... made that look easy, guys! perfect! how you doing, guys? ..and the warmest, friendliest

people you could hope to meet. say hello! hello! laughs. north yorkshire's coastline is stunning. long sandy beaches studded with old fishing villages. all on the edge of one of the country's great national parks. peace and quiet and beauty is what attracts people here, but that's not where i'm starting. there she is! scarbados! jaunty brass band music plays. glinting in the sunshine. jaunty brass band music plays. scarborough is the uk's oldest beach resort. this is where you come if you're looking for the proper old—school seaside traditions.

got the ice—cream parlours, the slot machines, got the beach, the sea, the smell of fish and chips out the window. after a week in scotland, the electric van is still holding up well, and getting a lot of love here on the south bay. how you doing, guys? you all right? yes, really good, really good. we're travelling around scarborough and yorkshire. take care! oh, it's you off the telly! how are you? i'm all right, you? yeah, good, good. we're filming for the travel show, you're actually on camera. come here, look, look! say hello! hello! laughs. scarborough is also home to the country's oldest funicular train company.

scarborough has got, let's call it a mixed reputation these days. but it used to be properly posh. back in the 17th century, mineral springs were discovered in the cliffs so people used to come here for the healthy waters, and it is still incredibly popular. in fact, more holidaymakers visit the yorkshire coast than anywhere else in the country outside london. most of the businesses on the seafront had a rocky old 2020. but this year, the hotels are already well booked all the way through to october. it's a golden opportunity to make up for all that lost time. morning, all right if i go in? thank you! if it's seaside traditions you're after, this is the place to be. the harbour bar has been in scarborough for 75 years. these days, like all of us, it's doing its best to follow the covid guidelines, with customers kept safely in the fresh air.

i'm looking for your biggest, most extravagant and spectacular ice cream. yeah? i'll make a knickerbocker glory for you, then. is that the one? it's flashy, and tasty? yeah. you know something's really good when you're sucking as hard as you can and you just can't get anything out. it's ridiculous. the shop's been open since the end of the second world war. julian started working here when he was 12, and he is the third generation of his family to make and sell ice cream in scarborough. we'd done 75 years, so we celebrated at the beginning of august. a small family party and a few staff. and that's about all we could do. it was sad, because children have grown up on our stools, and then they've come back as adults and they've brought their children. i think there will be a lot of people flocking to places

like scarborough all over the uk. yeah. do you think scarborough's ready, do you think yorkshire's ready for it? scarborough will fill up, the hotels, boarding houses, they're getting busy, you can see a lot more people walking around. and the staff seem to be getting a lift, because they have stuck it out, we've tried. how confident are you about the future? very confident, yeah. i think scarborough... scarborough will do well, theresa and i have been talking about starting a family... laughs. what's in these knickerbocker glorys? is it something in these? theresa, you hear that? idid, yes! i thinkjulian said twins. another trick scarborough has up its sleeve is its surroundings. it lies right on the edge of the north yorkshire moors national park.

20 minutes from the beachfront, and you're driving through all this. the poxy weatherjust makes it all the more atmospheric. so i'm on my way to a place that has become a real attraction in these parts. you'll have seen it on the big screens in the harry potter movies, and in fact, only last month, tom cruise was here shooting his latest mission: impossible film. as i arrive, the north york moors railway has only been open a couple of days after months of lockdown. hey, come on! i'm on! are you aid... ade! you're famous!

i'm not that famous! it's really nice to be on this train. when it shut down, one of the consequences was not only did it impact the passengers, but all the staff that work on this line. i was speaking to the stationmaster, and he travels 100 miles to work on this line, and he's a volunteer, he does it for free. so it's just... it makes it feel even more special that it's back up and running again. we need this, they all need this. it takes £7 million a year to keep this running. you put it here? marvellous. and when you come face—to—face with the guys trying to keep the wheels on the rails, you really understand the colossal effort, and expense. so i just light the flare,

and what i want you to do is just have a look inside that hole inside the boiler there, and just make sure there is no lumps of scale and sludge, and make sure all the passageways are nice and clear. mate, it seems all clear in there, i think there's something, some brown stuff on the left, on the left—hand side. we have to do this every 28 days, to wash the boiler out, and there's nearly 50 of these plugs on the engine. 50! and we have got to remove each plug, wash out, we have to check inside with the flare and fit them all back nice and tightly. having talked about the amount of maintenance you have to do, what was it then like for you to have to close all these stations down because of lockdown? it was a challenge, but we put out a marketing appeal online for donations to help us keep us going during the pandemic, we also did a silent auction where people could enter and bid to come out and have lunch with me on the diner, and stuff like that.

nice! yeah, yeah, yeah, people pay for that, that's cool. things like that were incredibly important to keep us going. and how long do you think you would have been able to keep going, keeping this place mothballed without any visitors? probably not much longer, to be honest. there was a few moments when you sit there and you are watching the news and you are like, you are just uncertain about what's going on in the world, but you've got to be positive, i am a pint—half, full—kind of guy. we knew we would get back to this and survive it. idid it is an hour's drive to our next destination, a city that has been spending a lot of time and effort thanking its lockdown heroes. there it is, york. around 8.5 million people came here on a trip pre—lockdown, and that supported around 24,000 jobs, which was a lot of livelihoods that were thrown up in the air when the shutters came down.

but what i really love about york is the fuss they have made about all the people that have kept us going during lockdown. this exhibit at the national railway museum celebrates the guys that kept the railways running last year. but there's more. these murals form a city centre trail to honour the local heroes who went to extremes to help out their community. julia's cafe is bustling these days, and we're complying with its strict covid measures, but last year when the pandemic hit, it was forced to close. so instead of turning up to work and knocking out the breakfasts, she had an idea. tell me about the supper collective, then. we quickly started to worry and think about some of our locals, our regulars, and how

they were going to manage. and quite quickly we realised there was going to be a need for people to get meals, that were isolated and vulnerable. so we just started doing some meals, and it sort of very quickly snowballed, lots of people came on board with us, and we were delivering food to people that were vulnerable, isolated, all over york. restaurants from across the city got involved, from pizza joints to chocolate emporiums, and julia was right at the heart of it. julia, tell me about this artwork that is going on here. oh, yeah, it's incredible. they basically wanted to celebrate all the people that had done things for the community, so me and steve had our photograph taken, and it has been kind of like graffitied. it is great, an amazing picture. and it represents the supper collective, all the people that helped. then we have ones like an a&e doctor and we have people who have worked in boots the chemist, really on the frontline

through a difficult time, who carried on working, and put themselves, some people, obviously at risk. the supper collective has scaled back its activities slightly to try and encourage people back out of their homes. but deliveries are still taking place to some of the most isolated and vulnerable. the next leg of myjourney continues west, deep into the great expanse of wilderness that is the yorkshire dales. so i had a good scan of the maps that you'll find online that shows you where all the charge points are. and out here it wasn't that great. in york there were loads of charge points, it was really good. so my advice would be, before you leave the cities,

make sure you have a full charge on your battery as you head out into the countryside. this beautiful landscape is getting more popular all the time. especially among people who would have gone abroad until the pandemic. in fact, the park authority estimates that in the first three months of lockdown, 70% of visitors had never been here before. somewhere around here should be the mountain rescue team who are keeping all the newbies like myself safe. i can see some dogs in this direction. dog barks. mountain rescue search dogs turns 50 this year. the teams are made up of volunteers who help search for walkers and climbers who get lost or injured. dog barks. who have we got here? this is gus. hello, gus. search dog gus. hey, search dog gus, how are you? he is excited. how long has gus

been doing this for? actually, gus has been training for four years, and because of covid has onlyjust, what we call graded. he has onlyjust become operational. so i can only use him for real in the last three week. the last three weeks! so he is a newbie. he is a newbie. well done, gus, well done. how do they work and how do you train them? basically they are playing hide and seek. they work for a toy. and when we are training, we call them dogsbodies, where people who go out and hide and have the toy, and the dog is literally hunting for its toy. the scent is the important thing. yeah, they are air scenting. we all give off a scent, and the scent is picked up by the wind, and we use the wind and we run the dog and its nose through the wind, and when it picks up a human scent it will follow that

to the person and come back and tell us by barking and then take us back to the person missing. the team has kindly agreed to show me how it all works. and they tell me in the nicest possible way to get lost. so we are going to send you out... you have got all serious here, dave, all serious. i'm worried now. we are going to take you out up that hill with two other bodies who are dave and simon over your shoulder. here we go. and we're going to send the dogs to find you. how long have you given us? we will give you half—an—hour's start. half—an—hour start! look at that over there! let's go. wait for me! looks like a little bit of a cave behind you. i have got you. i need a shove up. made that look easy. perfect. all right, i have schlepped up to this little spot,

found a hiding place. i will try and camouflage myself amongst these rocks. dog barks. there he is. the dog. he hasn't seen me yet. laughter. here he comes. here he comes! yeah. he is coming over towards me. hello, hello, i've been found! i've been found! well done. oh, yes! you ready? go! that's a reward. that was good.

that ok for you? yeah, really good. well done. what a brilliant job. found me! yeah, she found you in a very quick space of time. a lot of people won't be able to go abroad now, so more people will be hiking around the dales and around the uk, so will that bring added problems for you, do you think? yeah, to a certain extent, people with little or no knowledge of what they are doing, let's get out onto the open fell and have a walk in trainers or flip flops... no, you will not get people out... yeah, seriously. two years ago kaz had a find in the middle of the night on the moors for a chap wearing flip—flops. yep. have you got any tips yourself that we can give to the viewers if they are going out on a trek round the dales? tell someone where you are going, pack the right kit, have the right footwear, and have a good idea of what you are going to visit. look at a map, read a guidebook, find out what is out there

to locate, to have a look around. it is important to enjoy yourself in safety. my final stop in the dales is more than 1,200 feet above sea level. but nevertheless, 300 million years ago this entire area was covered by a shallow sea. which means the limestone beneath me is riddled with all kinds of interesting things. stump cross caverns is a popular and long—standing family attraction here. from this point you descend into tunnels and chambers discovered by lead miners about 160 years ago. but there's one issue with exploring caves — it's not all that accessible. bloody hell. blooming helmet. don't worry. i'll stay down. as soon as you get through here you'll be all right.

that's the hardest bit. lisa, tell me about these caves. so the caves are older than the dinosaurs, and they used to be near the equator, near africa, and it was a warm, tropical, shallow sea. so the limestone is made up of all the dead sea plants, and we have found loads of animals here as well, ice age animals, so there is a wolverine, reindeer, bison, woolly mammoth. the work lisa has put into trying to keep this place open is astonishing. first she raffled off her prized camper van. we had a beautiful camper van that was absolutely stunning, and my life dream. and so we actually raised money and we gave my camper van away... you gave your camper van away! this is like your dream camper van. yeah. and now she is raffling

off her own flat. if you hadn't been able to raise money by selling your camper van or crowdfunding for your flat, what would have happened? we would have shut. desperate times. however, there is light at the end of the tunnel. today lisa will finally reopen her doors to paying customers. there are just a few minutes to go until the big moment. fantastic. step back and soak that in. look at it. yes. we made it! we are open! ready, lisa — let me count you down. absolutely! five, four, three, two, one — yes! we're open! first visitors. look at this. come on in. you must be marie. lam. and two people for the caves? yes, please. fantastic, if you want

to come over to drjohn, and he will give you a briefing. thank you so much and have a fabulous time. it's just such a relief. we just want to keep this place going and our wonderful team, also be here for the people. it's the people who saved us. and we want to be here for them. so it is just overwhelming, really. well done! i would give you a hug but we're now allowed to. elbow, there you go. there you go. two elbows. you know what? i think i'll leave her to it right now. she has a busy old time ahead. i'm so pleased for her — what a relief, she has had her first visitors. but you know what has really blown me away is lisa's resilience and her positivity. and what i've noticed throughout my time up here, to coin a cliche, is that true yorkshire grit and community spirit which has helped them get through some pretty dark days.

fair play to them. the next leg of ourjourney across the uk sees lucy in the van exploring the cities, mountains, and countryside of wales, making new friends and hurtling herself off cliff edges along the way.

we knew we would get back to this and survive it. good morning welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. 0ur headlines today: a surge in coronavirus vaccination bookings, as 18—20 year olds sign up for theirjab in huge numbers keep ourfamilies safe and hope to get out there. probably when travel opens and thinks, it will probably be easier if you are vaccinated and things like that. those in england who are double—jabbed,

and come into contact with covid, may soon be spared ten days of self isolation. how we do like to be beside the seaside — coastal towns are the biggest winners, as the uk economy bounces back from lockdown. all eyes will be on rome later, as attention turns to wales, who will be looking to seal their spot in the last 16 of euro 2020 when they take on the might of italy. we want to try and win the group, we want to try and win the game. i think that is the best way to approach this and we will be doing all we can to do that. good morning. another cloudy start for much of england and wales with early morning sherry rain. that will ease to sunny spells in the afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland a case of sunny spells and scattered showers throughout the day. more details coming up shortly. it's sunday the 20th ofjune. our top story.

there's been a huge surge in coronavirus bookings by over 185 in england as the government steps up efforts to offer all adults a jab byjuly the 19th. it comes as officials in england consider plans to drop the isolation period, for anyone who comes into contact with someone infected with the virus but only if they've received two vaccine doses. sean dilly reports. these are among tens of thousands who turned out in socially distanced lines across england to claim their covid vaccines during a weekend of walk—in appointments. london's olympic stadium has played host to manyjubilant crowds in its short life but few gatherings have meant so much to a country hoping to lift all lockdown restrictions by the 19th ofjuly, the same date the government plans to have offered all adults their firstjab. i'd rather have it than get covid. looking forward to it. as soon as it opened up, everyone wanted it done as soon as possible. on friday morning, vaccination

appointments opened up to 18—20 year olds and by the end of the day, more than 720,000 people had booked theirs. pop—up campaigns like these are crucial tojust get more people vaccinated. the more we do to help support our local authorities and councils and the more that we can do to make it convenient, offer choices to our public and residents, then i think that is the right way to go ahead. in the latest 24 hour period, nearly 219,000 people received a first dose. 42.6 million people or 81% of adults have now had their firstjabs. nearly 189,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. that means more 31 million people or than 59% of uk adults are now fully vaccinated. meanwhile, those in england who have had both covid jabs and come into contact with someone infected with the virus could be spared having to isolate for ten days if trials that are under way prove effective.

ministers will no doubt be comforted by the success of the uk's vaccination programme but they will know too that news is mixed. yesterday, the uk recorded more than 10,000 new confirmed infections for the third day running, with the delta variant accounting for most of them. and search testing is under way in some areas of south london and cumbria, in response to a rise in cases. eligible adults are being urged to take up their vaccine as soon as possible. while the prime minister has not ruled anything out, he says he's confident there will not need to be a further delay to the lifting of england's lockdown restrictions. sean dilley, bbc news. labour has called on thejustice secretary to resign if he cannot reverse declining prosecutions and convictions for rape within a year. earlier this week, robert buckland, said he was "deeply ashamed" that convictions in england and wales had dropped to the lowest level since records began. 0ur political correspondent jessica parkerjoins us now. jessica, what is the government

doing to tackle this? off the back of the review you mention, the government has launched an action plan to try and improve those figures so what they are talking about in that action plan includes measures such as improving joint working in the criminal justice system so for them is a better supported. justice system so for them is a bettersupported. —— justice system so for them is a better supported. —— victims. what ministers are saying is they want to improve, return the volume of cases going through the courts to the rates we were seeing back in 2016 and they want to do that by the end of this parliament, probably around 2023 - 24. robert of this parliament, probably around 2023 — 24. robert buckler apologised for the declining rates but labour saying these are crocodile tears saying these are crocodile tears saying it is not good enough. the

shadowjustice secretary has blamed a decade of clouds for the situation. —— cuts. he says that if there is no apology, thejustice secretary should resign. a source is accused labour complaint politics in what they say is a serious issue. the former commons speaker and conservative mp, john bercow, has revealed he has joined the labour party. in a newspaper interview, mr bercow said the government "needed to be replaced", and called borisjohnson's conservative party "reactionary, populist and nationalistic". the government says his move isn't a surprise and its continuing to pursue an ambitious agenda. seaside resorts are bouncing back faster than big cities when it comes to in—shop spending — that's according to new research. it suggests large urban centres are still struggling to attract shoppers, partly due to office employees continuing to work from home.

our business correspondent, katie prescott, has this report. remember this? beaches in the uk a few weeks ago and, whilst the heatwave may be over for now, the warmth has stayed in the economies of seaside towns. they have seen a bigger bounce back in the number of visitors than in any other part of the country. in the last weekend of may, blackpool saw its numbers up 147%. southend 134%. bournemouth 127% and brighton 119%. boosted by weekend visitors to the beach. but in our major cities, like here in london, it is a completely different picture. the trend here is for people to continue to work from home so they are not in the centre, spending money in the shops and cafes as they once were. and the centre for cities says that if this trend continues into the autumn, then our big cities will see an even

bigger economic hit. smaller and medium size city centres, have much more local catchment area so traditionally where they are pulling from is very much within very local distance. and the second thing, particularly with seaside towns, is that it appears that we are seeing a revisiting of the great british seaside and are seeing people going back to seaside towns such as blackpool and brighton and bournemouth and taking advantage of both the good weather but of course also the restrictions in terms of not being able to go abroad. so while the seaside towns might start to suffer if the travel restrictions and the weather turns, for now the sun is shining in their favour. katie prescott, bbc news. more than 800,000 jobs in the uk's travel sector could be at risk — that's the warning from a union representing aviation workers. the british airline pilots association is appealing for urgent action from the government to end restrictions on travel, which it calls "ludicrously cautious". the government says it is working with the sector to navigate the challenges.

the best industry estimates at the moment are that aviation will take 4—5 years to recover and some sectors of the market, some business travel, probably will not recover for longer than that. it is a devastating load to whole of the aviation sector but that is trouble for the uk economy. if we do not have a thriving aviation sector, then instead of global britain we will have grounded britain. the number of people who have died from coronavirus in brazil has passed half a million — the second highest death toll in the world after the us. experts fear the outbreak will continue to worsen in the coming weeks because of slow

vaccination rates and the start of winter. there have been further warnings of wildfires for much of america's south west as the region battles an intense heatwave. mountain ranges across arizona have been scorched and a state of emergency has been declared in california where temperatures have climbed above 54—degrees celsius. residents have been urged to stay indoors and limit their use of energy and water after a severe drought left rivers and reservoirs running dry. wales will be looking to secure their place in the euros knock—out stage when they take on italy in rome later today. wales have all—but—guaranteed their spot with four points so far, thanks to a draw with switzerland, followed by a win over turkey. italy are already through to the last 16, having won their first two games. good luck to wales and everyone supporting them. you are watching bbc breakfast. a special memorial service will be held laterfor three men murdered in an islamist attack in reading exactly one year ago. james furlong, joe

a beautiful tribute to james's parents and we will talk to the family of another victim later on. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. it is father's day, can you get out and enjoy it? that question. this is this time last sunday with beautiful sunshine and warmth and we were talking about temperatures in the mid— 20s down to the east of england. it was actually warmer further west. england. it was actually warmer furtherwest. look england. it was actually warmer further west. look at this, and easterly breeze developing and temperatures will be down considerably today. that said there will be dry weather around once we get rid of the nuisance front that has been bringing rain, some heavy through the night but the starting to ease away. the rain pivots across the pennines and down into northern england and north wales as well. it will ease off into the north sea.

cloud and a drizzly murky start for many but hopefully improving in the afternoon. for scotland and northern ireland a greater chance of starting the rain with some sunshine coming through but also some few sharp showers developing across the goddess boarded the northern ireland. there is the easterly feed. the breeze will be no further on monday and it will bring a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather on exposed east posts. highest value through this afternoon are still likely to be 22 degrees in the london area if the sunshine comes through. risk of some showers in south—east scotland overnight but at the same time a weather front will bring rain, some turning quite heavy once again across the south coast of england. the temperature will by and large hold up into double figures and it is this low pressure that will keep on our toes for tomorrow. pressure that will keep on our toes fortomorrow. it pressure that will keep on our toes for tomorrow. it will bring the heaviest of the rain across northern france and the low countries there is the potential on the northern edge that we will continue to see some wet weather so favoured spots for that unsettled story on monday

will be in the south of the m4 corridor, really. keep an eye on that rain. a lot of cloud through england and wales with the best of the sunshine in scotland and northern ireland but that freshening north—east breeze will make it feel disappointingly call for the summer solstice. not the best day, really. as we move through monday night the temperature will fall away even further, perhaps dropping close to freezing in the sheltered glens of scotland. a chilly start to tuesday morning but tuesday actually has the potential to be one of the best days through the week because obviously with clear skies a dry story and more in the way of sunshine to cloud and rain gathering into the far north—west by the end of the day and an indication of another weather front bringing some rain into scotland and northern ireland during wednesday and thursday. that will push steadily south with low pressure sitting across england and wales until the end of this week. changeable. that is the story as we go through this week. we will take

that. that is good for the gardens. footprints belonging to what are believed to be the last dinosaurs to have roamed the uk — have been discovered close to the white cliffs of dover. a study of the fossils revealed this week that as many as six different species' footprints have been identified. joining us now is the study�*s lead author, professor david madrill from the university of portsmouth. good morning to you. explain first of all how you came to be involved in this study. of all how you came to be involved in this study-— in this study. because a couple of cu s in this study. because a couple of au s that in this study. because a couple of guys that l _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, steve _ in this study. because a couple of guys that i know, steve frederickj guys that i know, steve frederick and phil hartland down in kent made this discovery on the beaches just between folkestone and over and they found some rather strange looking structures in the sandstone there and they thought they might be dinosaur footprints. and they thought they might be dinosaurfootprints. they and they thought they might be dinosaur footprints. they started to do some work down there and

eventually they uncovered not just footprints but some tracks and asked if i would come along to have a look at them and low and behold the skies were damp right, they had actually found a lot of dinosaur footprints. that is not unusual, there are many places where you can find dinosaur footprints in britain. but that section of coast between folkestone and dover, the rocks there of an age around 100 million years or so and thatis around 100 million years or so and that is the last time in which dinosaurs could walk in britain. after that time period, britain was completely flooded, you will nowhere for dinosaurs to walk. 50 completely flooded, you will nowhere for dinosaurs to walk.— for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, _ for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, as _ for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, as you - for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, as you say - for dinosaurs to walk. so these are the last dinosaurs, as you say in i the last dinosaurs, as you say in this part of the world. and what i find fascinating is that they discovered these footprints about ten years ago i think. it is taken a long time to really work out what they are, what they tell us about what was happening at that time. about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found. it

about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found.— about the diversity of dinosaurs that you found. it took a long time to net the that you found. it took a long time to get the story — that you found. it took a long time to get the story out _ that you found. it took a long time to get the story out because - that you found. it took a long time to get the story out because when| to get the story out because when you first find dinosaur footprint, sometimes it takes some convincing the public that what you have is a dinosaur footprint. the public that what you have is a dinosaurfootprint. very the public that what you have is a dinosaur footprint. very often there are so many dinosaurs walking around that they plough up the ground, much like cows walking through a field. where they all go through the gate it would be difficult to find a single power footprint because they all get turned up. eventually they found some convincing ones and it was those convincing ones that made them asked me to come down to have a look. and the skies have done a greatjob. they mapped them out and photograph them and they realised that there were many different types. it is difficult to match a particular print to a species of dinosaur but it is very easy to match a footprint to a particular group of dinosaurs and over the times that they have been looking they managed to find footprints that

matched meat—eating dinosaurs, the therapy odds, the honour supports, animals like iguanodon and also the saw pods and the ones that look like armoured tanks. amongst all those footprints there was more than one type of meat—eating dinosaur so there were at least three different groups of dinosaurs within those groups of dinosaurs within those groups probably different species as well. that is phenomenal. they were all wandering around on a particular beach 100 million years ago. find beach 100 million years ago. and what does this _ beach 100 million years ago. and what does this tell us and how useful will these findings be in our overall study of dinosaurs, particularly those in britain? firstly it shows that throughout the time when they could have been dinosaurs wandering around britain they were and they were diverse with many different types of dinosaurs. these are not the largest dinosaurs in the world. they are medium—size dinosaurs, ten, 15 metres, something

like that. not a big tyrannosaurus rex, unfortunately but they are a good size dinosaur. and there is a good size dinosaur. and there is a good spread, some herbivores, some meat eaters and different types of herbivores. but what intrigues me is that if you look at the type of strider they have been found in, up until very recently, until the footprints were discovered by stephen, most geologists thought that these rocks were laid down in water far too deep to have dinosaurs in. but once you find dinosaur footprints, unless they were walking along the bottom of the sea, the water must be very shallow. indeed this sandstone is likely to have been a beach environment, a sandy beach. it would have been a long beach, we can trace these strata all the way along the kent coast and into sussex. it would been a fabulous beach on the seaward side,

presumably the meat—eating dinosaurs with their scavenging on damp fish and things washed up and on the landward side the vegetation overhanging the beach would have been browsed by the saw pods the ankle saws and the on orthopod dinosaurs. and it would also almost be a dinosaur highway. it would not surprise me if the meat—eating dinosaurs were having a go at some of the herbivores. but what is really intriguing is that once you get into strata that indicate it is younger than these rocks they were all deposited in deeper water and there was nowhere for a dinosaur to walk. they may have been a few small islands in scotland over in the wealth massive but unlikely to have been large enough to have had substantial faunas of the diversity that we found downing kent. lloathed substantial faunas of the diversity that we found downing kent. what an amazin: that we found downing kent. what an amazing discovery! _ that we found downing kent. what an amazing discovery! thank— that we found downing kent. what an amazing discovery! thank you - that we found downing kent. what an amazing discovery! thank you so - amazing discovery! thank you so much. and i love your t—shirt. if we

29 games without loss, to bear the azzurri here, will require, well, an olympic event. commentator: that's another brilliant ball. and it is in this time! wales arrive buoyed by wednesday's 2—0 win against turkey. the result means they are almost guaranteed a place in the next round but they have not come to rome to relax. we still have the mentality we want to try and win the group, we want to try and win the game. i think that is the best way to approach this and we will be doing all we can 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 heading the official advice not to travel because of the pandemic. locatelli — that's two! the home team have also qualified for the next round but, with the expectation of a nation mounting, they will not take wales for granted. translation: wales are a very difficult side to face _ because they have been right up

into the fifa ranking for a number of years. that also proved they are quality players, they are also a british team so they are a very physical team and it will be a difficult match. the last time wales beat italy was in cardiff almost 20 years ago. there is at least a little hope in the eternal city that history can be repeated. there were some brilliant games at the euros yesterday. germany had to come from behind to beat portugal 4—2 in munich. cristiano ronaldo had put portugal in the lead with his third of the tournament. but two own goals meant that germany were ahead at the break. and second half strikes from kai havertz and robin gosens put the germans in control with diogojota's goaljust a consolation for the portugese. world champions france were held to a 1—1 draw, atilla fiola put hungary ahead just before half time but france were able to claw back an equaliser in the second half through antoinne griezzman

spain played out a 1—1 draw against poland, alvaro morata had put them ahead but robert lewandowski pulled it back for poland in what is a big point for them england had to make do with a draw in the one—off test match with india. after the tourists produced a brilliant batting display on the final day. it had been looking good for england with sophie ecclestone taking 4 wickets. but india rallied with sneh rana and taniya bhatia staying at the crease for a partnership of 104 and to ensure that the four—day match was drawn. the british number two, cameron norrie, is looking good ahead of wimbledon. he's through to the final at queen's club as he chases his first atp title. norrie beat the second seed denis shapovalov in straight sets 7—5 6—3. he'll play italy's matteo berrettini, in the final this afternoon — the number one seed, who's already knocked out brits dan evans and andy murray. harlequins pulled off the biggest comeback in the history of the premiership to book

their place in next weekend's final. after trailing 28—0 to bristol bears 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 and a place in the premiership final. where they'll face exeter chiefs — a final try from alex cuthbert and a penalty from joe simmonds was enough to send the chiefs to twickenham as they beat sale sharks 40 points to 30 lewis hamilton will have his work cut out to make it a hat—trick of french grand prix wins this afternoon, after max verstappen beat him to pole. championship leader verstappen dominated practice and qualifying at paul ricard circuit in the south of france. the dutchman was quarter of a second ahead of hamilton who's mercedes team mate valtteri bottas will start from third. the feature race on the final day of this year's royal ascot meeting, the diamond jubilee stakes was won by the 3—1 favourite, dream of dreams ridden by ryan moore. it gives sir michael stoute 82 ascot wins overall, more than any other trainer. the queen was in attendance for the first time this week, the only time she has missed ascot since 1946 was last year

during the pandemic. in golf, at the us open, louis 0osthuizen, russell henley, and mackenzie hughes all share the lead on five under par after the third round at torrey pines in california. and exactly 10 years to the day after winning his first major, rory mcllroy is tied for second on 3 under, butjoint overnight leader richard bland saw his challenge fade — he's 1 over par. a big day for rory mcenroe. itjust shows how much has done over the years. —— rory mcilroy. so shows how much has done over the years. -- rory mcllroy.— shows how much has done over the years. -- rory mcllroy. so much spot around at the — years. -- rory mcllroy. so much spot around at the moment. _ years. -- rory mcllroy. so much spot around at the moment. the - years. -- rory mcllroy. so much spot around at the moment. the calendar| around at the moment. the calendar is insane. good _ around at the moment. the calendar is insane. good luck— around at the moment. the calendar is insane. good luck wales! - a third wave of the coronavirus pandemic is definitely under way — that's the warning from one government scientific advisor, as cases of the delta variant

continue to rise. professor adam finn made the comments while stressing the importance of the vaccine programme in helping to reduce the impact on hospitalisations and deaths. here to discuss this further is gp, dr fari ahmad. good morning. let's talk about that third wave. are you seeing evidence in your surgery?— in your surgery? yes, i think we have been _ in your surgery? yes, i think we have been for— in your surgery? yes, i think we have been for at _ in your surgery? yes, i think we have been for at least _ in your surgery? yes, i think we have been for at least the - in your surgery? yes, i think we have been for at least the past. in your surgery? yes, i think we i have been for at least the past two or three weeks we have seen more cases and people, younger people having symptoms and diagnosis of coronavirus. in the north—west, it is a little bit earlier but certainly around the rest of the country, they are seeing the cases increase. , :, , :, increase. this of course at the same time as the — increase. this of course at the same time as the vaccine _ increase. this of course at the same time as the vaccine programme - time as the vaccine programme continues to be rolled out. so why are cases going up? you

some semblance of normality. all over 18 can out that appointment. we still talk about vaccine hesitancy. are you seeing evidence that it is applicable to different age groups? what we have been seeing, suddenly as local cases have been increasing, people have been looking at their risk again. we have had older people who should have had the jab a few months ago and were very hesitant, i think now they have come forward and are having theirjabs. lots of younger people seem to understand that this is one of the ways they can start getting back to some kind of normal life so they are turning up. we are seeing more treatment women who are happy to take it up because the understanding is that jab meant you are safer than getting

covid. there are still some people who have questions and myself and colleagues around the country spend a lot of time talking to people about the risk and encouraging them to go ahead and have the vaccination because it is suitable for the vast majority of people. we because it is suitable for the vast majority of people.— because it is suitable for the vast majority of people. we are grateful for our majority of people. we are grateful for your time _ majority of people. we are grateful for your time this _ majority of people. we are grateful for your time this morning - for your time this morning explaining of that. lovely to see you this morning. thank you. living and working in australia is a dream for many young brits but the mandatory stint of farm work, which comes with the visa, has sometimes led to dangerous situations. tragically, this was the case for mia ayliffe—chung and tom jackson who, five years ago, were murdered while working in rural queensland. now — in a new trade deal — the uk and australian governments have agreed to scrap the agricultural work requirement. mia's mother rosie — who has long campaigned for a change to the rules — joins us now.

you have been working on this for so, so long. how did you become aware that this obligation to work in these kinds of environments was such an issue to young travellers in australia? my such an issue to young travellers in australia? ~ , :. such an issue to young travellers in australia? ~ , :, :, :, australia? my daughter told me that she was going _ australia? my daughter told me that she was going to _ australia? my daughter told me that she was going to do _ australia? my daughter told me that she was going to do her— australia? my daughter told me that she was going to do her farm - australia? my daughter told me that she was going to do her farm work, | she was going to do her farm work, that she was obliged to do it and that she was obliged to do it and that was the time i heard about the scheme. when she arrived started telling me about the conditions she was working in, i started to be alarmed back then. she was talking about a lack of regulation, a lack of induction, talking about the dangers in the field, as time progressed she was only in the hospice for a few days and i started

to realise that she was afraid. i later found she was put into a room with a guy who was presenting with mental health issues and was evidently obsessed with her and she was asked to move rooms but was not given permission. she was murdered one night. she was dragged out of her bed and killed and tom jackson tried to save her life, very bravely and daniel richards state with a while she died and tom's life was taken that night as well. it was apparent to me before that night that there were issues. you apparent to me before that night that there were issues. you went to australia and _ that there were issues. you went to australia and you _ that there were issues. you went to australia and you went _ that there were issues. you went to australia and you went to _ that there were issues. you went to australia and you went to some - that there were issues. you went to australia and you went to some of i australia and you went to some of these areas and spoke to young people living and working in these kinds of environments and it opened up kinds of environments and it opened up your eyes even more to what was going on? i up your eyes even more to what was ttoin on? , :, up your eyes even more to what was ttoin on? , :, going on? i met young people who were traumatised _ going on? i met young people who were traumatised because - going on? i met young people who were traumatised because of- going on? i met young people who were traumatised because of the i were traumatised because of the abuse they experience. young people

who suffered sexual attacks. i met young people who had worked on way below the minimum wage and that in itself put them at risk. i met people who were put out on the road, in the middle of the outback, at three o'clock the morning, with all their belongings tipped literally onto the road. the risk out there — australia has its fair share of serial killers so just to do that in itself was incredible to me. these often not necessarily farmers but label contract hires could treat young vulnerable people from a different culture in the way they were doing was a shock. you became

then totally — were doing was a shock. you became then totally committed _ were doing was a shock. you became then totally committed to _ were doing was a shock. you became then totally committed to getting - then totally committed to getting this change. how does it feel to know that other young brits travelling to australia will not face the same obligations? i am face the same obligations? i am relieved but _ face the same obligations? i am relieved but i _ face the same obligations? i am relieved but i am _ face the same obligations? i am relieved but i am very _ face the same obligations? i am relieved but i am very well- face the same obligations? i —n relieved but i am very well aware that this is just the first step because, from an international perspective, they will be other europeans and asians and pacific islanders that will take their place and the imbalance of power between the farmer or the employer and the worker, the migrant worker, is still that because it still exists for other nationalities. while i feel internally grateful to borisjohnson for bringing our people out, that now need to be replicated by other world leaders. i now need to be replicated by other world leaders.—

now need to be replicated by other world leaders. i note tom jackson's family have — world leaders. i note tom jackson's family have been _ world leaders. i note tom jackson's family have been incredibly - family have been incredibly supportive of your campaign. i can only imagine that for the last five years, that has not been a moment when mia has not been in your mind. how have you managed through the last five years? i how have you managed through the last five years?— last five years? i think in terms of trief, last five years? i think in terms of grief. they — last five years? i think in terms of grief. they say — last five years? i think in terms of grief, they say that _ last five years? i think in terms of grief, they say that constantly - grief, they say that constantly facing your demons and constantly being able to talk through those last moments, your emotions and the loss is a vital and, to be honest, thatis loss is a vital and, to be honest, that is what i have been able to do it through campaigning and through writing a book about the subject. i have revisited and revisited the grief and that has been my therapy so in a sense, you are my therapist. i talked to journalists all the time and they make me face that event so

that has been incredible for me and i am now in a place i never thought i am now in a place i never thought i would reach where we are running a business, i live in this beautiful place and i have found a kind of happiness but, like you say, mia is always with me and the loss is always with me and the loss is always there. it is not something you get over, you assimilate it as part of who you become. it is extraordinary _ part of who you become. it is extraordinary work _ part of who you become. it is extraordinary work you have done in this area that many, many young british people will benefit from. thank you for talking to us about it. :, ~ , :, here's louise with a look at the weather. it is father's day in case you forgot. a quick nudge now to remind you. this time last week it would have been all about the heat and sunshine and i would be telling you to go out and enjoy it. today i can

go out and enjoy the weather but the temperature will not be the same. mid 20s all the way down through the east coast this time last week today temperatures are subdued and it will be a little disappointing. there temperatures are subdued and it will be a little disappointing.— be a little disappointing. there is also some rain _ be a little disappointing. there is also some rain around, _ be a little disappointing. there is also some rain around, some - be a little disappointing. there is| also some rain around, some has be a little disappointing. there is - also some rain around, some has been quite heavy through the night stop the weather front is starting to ease in the north sea but the rain will take time to clear. it will do so, we have also had thunderstorms off the kent coast as well but the most persistent rain at the moment stretches across the pennines into the north of england and north wales which has left a lot of low cloud and drizzle as well so it is a drab start to our sunday morning but the story will improve. sunny spells and scattered showers moving through scotland and northern ireland as we go through the day. the rain is easing through england and wales and hopefully conditions will dry and brighten up with glimpses of sunshine coming through as well. an easterly breeze, that is why phil is noticeably cooler along the north sea coast. 15— 16 degrees here but a

little more shelter for the west, high teens and 22 degrees inside. a few showers in eastern scotland but more persistent rain pushing on. monday is the summer solstice but there is nothing summerlike about the weather story across southern england with this area of low pressure particularly bringing some rain and it will hoverfor particularly bringing some rain and it will hover for much of the day. it will stay green with outbreaks of rain and some heavier times. further north the best of the sunshine on monday through scotland and northern ireland but the north—easterly wind will continue to make it clear and disappointingly cool for the time of year really. a top temperature of 12- 18 year really. a top temperature of 12— 18 degrees, down on where it should be for latejune. and with clear skies continuing through the night the temperature will fall away into single figures. little more comfortable forgetting a decent

night sleep but we could a touch of frost believe it or not in the shelter glens of scotland. on tuesday we can see the best chance of the dry sunny weather and as we go through the week it does look as though conditions will be a little warmer and a little more mystic. great. improving through the week. we can catch up on the latest technology news now — with this week's edition of click. lovely to see you out in the sunshine. the sunshine is wonderful but at this time of year we usually enjoy the los angeles sun. adding

ready for e3, the massive videogames convention. even though we are not in la we would dress like wish are. —— we will dress like we are. this is what e3 looks like. this is what e3 sounds like. all roar. basically, the gaming world takes over la's convention centre, theatres and hotels to launch the latest games and consoles with as much pizazz as tinseltown can muster, which is a lot. for the second year running, la won't be crammed with gamers because the whole event has been moved online. yeah, i do hope that hollywood has another industry to fall back on. now, all of this means that marc cieslak cannot live the la life while he covers the expo, but hilariously, he still has to keep la hours. so here's his bleary—eyed report! we had some of this... you are go for launch. ..but none of this. cheering and applause. the covid—19 pandemic means

the annual e3 games convention has done away with its usual physical event in favour of an online affair. i'm in london, not la, and there is an e3 event, of sorts, on. first out of the blocks this online—only e3 were ubisoft. they'd drafted in an actor who's broken bad and mopped up a mandalorian to star as the villain in their new game, far cry 6. these fish? giancarlo esposito is starring as anton castillo, the big bad running a fictional caribbean dictatorship in open world shooter far cry 6. the title's brought into sharp focus the issue of politics, or political themes, in games. the reality is, every piece of work you put out in the world is political to some degree. whether it's a film, a book, a tv show or game, far cry 6 is no different. so what interests me is — is, you know, what are we talking about?

what themes are we hitting, you know? for example, we talk about the rise of fascism, we talk about human rights, we talk about imperialism — in the context of a revolution, a modern revolution. after developing the tie—in game to james cameron's first avatar movie — a title which, it's fair to say, failed to set pandora alight — ubisoft�*s having another stab at a game starring nine foot tall blue cat people. details about the next avatar film are thin on the ground but the event's cinematic suggests the game will focus on adventures in the movie's universe, rather than a retread of the big screen experience. xbox was the next show in the e3 line up and after spending the gdp of a small country on acquiring mega publisher bethesda, expectations were high. halo infinite was supposed to launch alongside the xbox series x. however, when fans got a first

look at the game last year, it's putting it mildly to say they were unimpressed. in fact, adverse fan reaction forced developers 343 into delaying the game to spend more time tweaking it. game voiceover: the flag is ours. the most important thing is the quality of the games. we know that. our customers tell us that. our own teams feel that. and it's been a difficult year when you think about production in the time of covid—19. we took the feedback from people. we brought in new leadership and this was a big time for us to show multiplayer, you know? halo's multiplayer's always been such a strength. xbox played it safe by showing multiplayer gameplay, which included looks at special armour fan favourite weapons like the energy sword, and in a challenge to the likes of call of duty: warzone, halo multiplayer will be free to play. i think you see how these free—to—play multiplayer games have really done well. and when you have multiplayer, it really is about a vibrant

and growing player base, and that's our goal. and we've always said, when everyone plays, we all win. # tell me what you want and i'll tell you what i'm gonna do. forza 5 horizon heads to mexico, demoing a jungle rally from its campaign mode and some incredible landscapes, along with very, very shiny cars. but one of the biggest ticket items came courtesy of that $7.5 billion acquisition of zenimax — bethesda's parent company. this might be the first new games franchise in 25 years from the developer behind the fallout and elder scrolls games but bethesda still hasn't shown us any starfield gameplay. i think the problem, for me, with starfield is that we don't really know what the game is going to be like to play. we know it's gonna be open world, you're gonna have the freedom to do what you want, but that trailer did a really bad job of showing me why i should be excited, why i should be, you know, adding it to a wish list somewhere to make sure that i'm, you know, in the know for all of the new information.

like, it looked fantastic, but i think there was such a disconnect between the presentation and the actual reality of what their game is going to be. we did get a very atmospheric cinematic and a launch date — 11 november 2022 — for this hugely anticipated sci—fi rpg. it will also arrive day one on xbox's subscription service, game pass. but what about the big no—show? playstation! sony bowed out of e3 back in 2019. does its absence leave the field clear for arch rival xbox to do some catching up? playstation really was very conspicuous by its absence but i think the fact that microsoft finally came together with what it's been doing over the past four or five years, of buying different developers, i think in that case microsoft suddenly showed the results of what it's been doing and suddenly, people actually thought — some people, for the first time, ithink, thought "xbox game pass — i think i need this". seeing all those big games labelled as day one on xbox game pass is a very,

very attractive proposition for gamers — especially when you're looking at, you know, £70, $70 aaa purchases for the p55. and looking at what the xbox series x has for 2022 and not really knowing what sony's doing for this christmas, let alone in 2022, is a really precarious position for them to be in. it's—a me, wario! the last major show belonged to nintendo. they'd already quashed any hopes of seeing a new, more powerful version the popular console, the switch. instead, nintendo relied on one of its biggest franchises, zelda, doing all the heavy lifting. the legend of zelda: breath of the wild 2 is still in development but a new trailer revealed that as well as adventuring on terra firma, link will also take to the skies. we got a tiny bit of

gameplay, but little else. it's slated for release some time in 2022. nintendo has been raiding the back of the cupboards with switch refreshes for the likes of warioware, which challenges the player to complete a dizzying array of mini games such as peeling face masks and avoiding bird poo while beating a ticking clock. wah! rats! as well as super monkey ball: banana mania, celebrating 20 years of sphere—rolling simians. this certainly was not the e3 that we're used to but it's worth remembering that the pandemic has slowed down and disrupted lots of video game development, so it's a minor miracle that we got to see any new content at all. with any luck, we'll have an event that we can attend in person in 2022.

this is the matepad pro and it's the first chance i've had to go hands—on with the new harmony0s, huawei's replacement for android that it says is a next—generation operating system. after donald trump put huawei on that us trade blacklist and blocked it from using google services, huawei said it would move to its own harmony0s which, it told reporters, would be completely different from android. now, the version of harmony0s running on this tablet looks a lot like android. the interactions are the same. the tablet also runs android apps, so i can stick the bbc news android app on here and it runs fine. the same goes for google maps. and if you run a diagnostic test app, it will report that this tablet is running android 10. now, the core of android is open source and there's nothing wrong with taking that and branching off to make your own software — that's what amazon has done with its fire 0s — and it clearly states that that is a fork of android. now, it looks like this is what huawei's done here on the tablet, branching off and adding some of its own code, although it really didn't want to say it — it gave me some very vague

answers — although it did say android apps are currently compatible with some devices running harmony0s 2. this huawei watch 3 is running harmony0s, so it should work seamlessly with the tablet — although, when i tried to use the watch as a camera viewfinder for the tablet, i couldn't get it to work. what is this experience like for a uk consumer? obviously, there are no google services but huawei has been working to develop its own replacement such as petal maps, which comes pre—installed. it's powered by tomtom and has most of the features you'd expect. there's a movie store with popular films, and huawei music — a streaming app that had every hit artist i searched forfrom major labels, although there were a few anomalies. this definitely isn't steps. i tried to reverse image search to find out where this had come from. i'm guessing it's a tribute act but i could not find anything. so if this is you, please tweet me. i'd love to know more! i also found some of the artist bios show up in foreign languages. and other huawei apps aren't really optimised for the tablet display. the voice assistant celia is a little bit rough around the edges, too. i tried asking my watch "what time is it?"

and it didn't know. perhaps the biggest hurdle for a uk audience is the loss of the google play store and with it a lot of popular apps. petal search lets you find and install a lot of android apps from third party sources, but what happens when android and harmony0s start to diverge? will app developers in the uk and us really make a harmony0s version of their software, on top of the android and i0s versions, when many of them didn't even adapt their apps for huawei app gallery when the whole thing was running android? the concept of harmony0s, where all of your devices communicate seamlessly, is a good one if you're willing to go all in on huawei. and i can think of being popular in china, but it might still be a hard sell in the uk and us until some of these wrinkles are ironed out. that is all for the short cut of the programme. you can keep up with us on social media. we programme. you can keep up with us on social media.—

those in england who are double—jabbed, and come into contact with covid, may soon be spared ten days of self—isolation. how we do like to be beside the seaside — coastal towns are the biggest winners, as the uk economy bounces back from lockdown. all eyes will be on rome later as attention turns to wales, who will be looking to seal their spot in the last 16 of euro 2020 when they take on the might of italy. we want to try and win the group, we want to try and win the game. i think that's the best way to approach this and we will be doing all we can to do that. another cloudy start for much of england and wales with early morning showers but that will ease to sunny spells in the afternoon. in scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells and northern ireland, sunny spells and scattered showers throughout the day. more coming up shortly. it's sunday, the 20th ofjune. our top story. there's been a huge surge

in coronavirus vaccine bookings by over—18s in england — as the government steps up efforts to offer all adults a jab byjuly the 19th. it comes as officials in england consider plans to drop the isolation period, for anyone who comes into contact with someone infected with the virus — but only if they've received two vaccine doses. these are among tens of thousands who turned out in socially distanced lines across england to claim their covid vaccines during a weekend of walk—in appointments. london's olympic stadium has played host to manyjubilant crowds in its short life, but few gatherings have meant so much to a country hoping to lift all lockdown restrictions by the 19th ofjuly, the same date the government plans to have offered all adults their firstjab. i'd rather have it than get covid.

as soon as it opened up, everyone wanted it done as soon as possible. on friday morning, vaccination appointments opened up to 18—20 year olds and by the end of the day, more than 720,000 people had booked theirs. pop—up campaigns like these are crucial tojust get more people vaccinated. the more we do to help support our local authorities and councils and the more that we can do to make it convenient, offer choices to our public and residents, then i think that is the right way to go ahead. in the latest 24—hour period, nearly 219,000 people received a first dose. 42.6 million people or 81% of adults have now had their firstjabs. nearly 189,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. that means more than 31 million people or than 59% of uk adults are now fully vaccinated. meanwhile, those in england who have had both covid jabs and come into contact with someone infected with the virus could be spared having to isolate for ten days if trials that are under

way prove effective. ministers will no doubt be comforted by the success of the uk's vaccination programme, but they will know too that news is mixed. yesterday, the uk recorded more than 10,000 new confirmed infections for the third day running, with the delta variant accounting for most of them. and surge testing is under way in some areas of south london and cumbria, in response to a rise in cases. eligible adults are being urged to take up their vaccine as soon as possible. while the prime minister has not ruled anything out, he says he's confident there will not need to be a further delay to the lifting of england's lockdown restrictions. sean dilley, bbc news. labour has called on thejustice secretary to resign if he cannot reverse declining prosecutions and convictions for rape within a year. earlier this week, robert buckland, earlier this week, robert buckland said he was "deeply ashamed" that convictions in england and wales had dropped to the lowest level since records began. 0ur political correspondent

jessica parkerjoins us now. good morning. what are the government saying they want to do about this? the government saying they want to do about this? :, :, : about this? the government launched an action plan — about this? the government launched an action plan to _ about this? the government launched an action plan to try _ about this? the government launched an action plan to try to _ about this? the government launched an action plan to try to boost - an action plan to try to boost prosecution rates and among measures they announced is to reduce the amount of time victims are left without their phone during the course of an investigation and also to improvejoint course of an investigation and also to improve joint working course of an investigation and also to improvejoint working in course of an investigation and also to improve joint working in the criminaljustice system so victims are better supported. and they want to see regular scorecards to see how the system is performing. ministers are saying they want to get the number of cases getting too caught up number of cases getting too caught up to the levels they were out in 2016 and they want to do it by the end of this parliament, so most likely around 2023, 24. thejustice secretary, he did apologise this week for declining rates, but what labour are saying today is that is not good enough and calling it

crocodile tears. the shadowjustice secretary blamed a decade of cuts and said that let violent criminals off the hook. he said this reverse in decline needs to be done within one year of robert buckland's apology and if that does not happen he thinks thejustice secretary should resign. a source hit back and said labourare should resign. a source hit back and said labour are playing politics with a very serious issue. the former commons speaker and conservative mp, john bercow, has revealed he hasjoined the labour party. in a newspaper interview, mr bercow said the government needed to be replaced" and called borisjohnson's conservative party "reactionary, populist and nationalistic". the government says his move isn't a surprise and its continuing to pursue an ambitious agenda. seaside resorts are bouncing back faster than big cities when it comes to in—shop spending — that's according to new research. it suggests large urban centres are still struggling to attract shoppers, partly due to office employees continuing to work from home. our business correspondent,

katie prescott, has this report. remember this? beaches in the uk a few weeks ago and, whilst the heatwave may be over for now, the warmth has stayed in the economies of seaside towns. they have seen a bigger bounce back in the number of visitors than in any other part of the country. in the last weekend of may, blackpool saw its numbers up 147%. southend — 134%. bournemouth 127%, and brighton 119%. boosted by weekend visitors to the beach. but in our major cities, like here in london, it is a completely different picture. the trend here is for people to continue to work from home so they are not in the centre spending money in the shops and cafes as they once were. and the centre for cities says that if this trend continues into the autumn, then our big cities will see an even

bigger economic hit. smaller and medium—sized city centres have a much more local catchment area so traditionally where they are pulling their customers from is very much within very local distance. and the second thing, particularly with seaside towns, is that it appears that we are seeing a revisiting of the great british seaside and are seeing people going back to seaside towns such as blackpool and brighton and bournemouth and taking advantage of both the good weather, but of course also the restrictions in terms of not being able to go abroad. so while the seaside towns might start to suffer if the travel restrictions and the weather turns, for now, the sun is shining in theirfavour. katie prescott, bbc news. more than 800,000 jobs in the uk's travel sector could be at risk — that's the warning from a union representing aviation workers. the british airline pilots association is appealing for urgent action from the government to end restrictions on travel, which it calls "ludicrously cautious". the government says it is working with the sector

to navigate the challenges. the best industry estimates at the moment are that aviation will take 4—5 years to recover and some sectors of the market, for example, some business travel, probably will not recover for longer than that. it is a devastating blow to whole of the aviation sector but that is trouble for the uk economy. if we do not have a thriving aviation sector, then instead of global britain we will have grounded britain at least one person has died after a truck ran into spectators at a gay pride event in florida. local media reported that the driver, who has not yet been identified, accelerated suddenly into the crowd. it's not yet been established if the incident was deliberate. the athletes' village for the tokyo 0lympics has been unveiled just over a month before the start of the games. around 18,000 athletes and officials

will be housed in the waterfront village, where residents will be asked to take daily covid tests, wear face masks and follow social distancing measures. wales will be looking to secure their place in the knock—out stage of the euros when they take on italy in rome later today. rob page's side have all but guaranteed their spot with four points so far. i think france will be feeling more relaxed. thanks to a draw with switzerland, followed by a win over turkey. let's speak now to our wales correspondent, hywel griffith, are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have _ are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have the _ are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have the job _ are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have the job more - are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have the job more or - are you more relaxed? i think so. wales have the job more or less i are you more relaxed? i think so. - wales have the job more or less done and are virtually guaranteed the route through to the next round. today win against italy, they top the group. a draw, that would secure second and a route through to a game in amsterdam next week. but if they

lose, they could still go through in third place and a lot will depend on what happens between switzerland and turkey. let's not underestimate the task ahead in italy. they play an italian team that has not lost in 29 games and not conceded a goal in almost 1000 minutes of football. while italy might rest some stars today and will be missing their captain, they are an incredible team to take on. rob page, gareth bale speaking yesterday, saying they are here to win. any game at this level they have to focus on the best result. i think the pressure is taken off a little. 0nly result. i think the pressure is taken off a little. only a few hundred welsh fans to cheer them on. the covid advice was not to come to italy to support wales, but i know thousands will be watching at 5pm, crossing their fingers for a miracle in rome. ~ :. :. crossing their fingers for a miracle in rome. ~ :, :, :, crossing their fingers for a miracle in rome. :, :, :, , : :, , in rome. what are covid restrictions like in ital in rome. what are covid restrictions like in ltaly at _ in rome. what are covid restrictions like in italy at the _ in rome. what are covid restrictions

breeze is noticeable. coming in from the north—east. that is cooler, which means on the exposed north—east coast, temperatures 15—16, down on where we should be at this time of year. with sunshine, we should get 22 degrees. by contrast, wales playing italy in rome, it will be hot. the temperature is hopefully easing for kick off at 5pm. the week ahead, nothing like the 30 degrees but temperatures. to increase as we go through the week. back to you two. england's covid restrictions were due to be lifted tomorrow. that has gone from our diaries. as we know, that won't be happening for another four weeks — thanks largely to the delta variant of coronavirus. the bbc�*s ros atkins has been taking an in—depth look at the story of that variant.

this is the story of the delta variant — of how it came to the uk, of how it delayed boris johnson's covid plans. since today, i cannot say that we have met all our four tests for proceeding with step four onjune the 21st. i think it is sensible to wait just a little longer. well, let's go back to the start. in october, a new variant was detected in india. six months on, in april, india's cases were surging, and several mutations of the variant were causing concern. one was called b.1.617.2. this was delta, and it was gaining international attention. the world health organisation designated it a variant of interest on the 4th of april. 0n the 9th of april, borisjohnson's government expanded its red list of countries, the ones facing the strictest travel restrictions.

here's the press release. it went on... the delta variant wasn't mentioned, nor was india. it wasn't on the list, which begged the question — why? well, one possible explanation was politics — that boris johnson had a trip to india in late april that he didn't want to cancel. weeks later, the sunday times reported... the theory goes the trip would have helped. the government's never accepted that. what is beyond dispute, though, is that by mid—april, the pressure on borisjohnson was building. 0ne leading public health academic said india being off the red list but the government held its line.

0n the 16th of april, the telegraph asked it about india's absence from the list. a no 10 spokesperson said only. well, we got more detail on the government's thinking when health secretary matt hancock said this in may. when we put pakistan on the red list and, indeed, bangladesh, the positivity of those arriving from pakistan and bangladesh was three times higher that from india. that's why we took those decisions. but publicly available government data doesn't back that up. these are the covid infection rates for arrivals in late march and early april. india's above bangladesh and close to pakistan. then, injune, mr hancock argued that back in april, the government didn't have the full picture. we didn't have that data because there is a long lag

from the cases, the date on which the case occurs, to the date when the sequencing comes back. so, you have to act on the data that you have. his argument there is about sequencing, the process where individual variants are identified. but even without that information, the headline data from india didn't need much interpretation. by mid—april, even after factoring in population size, india was recording far more new cases a day than bangladesh or pakistan, though the uk government says india's higher testing rate was a factor. what the uk definitely knew was that india had outbreaks of what were then called the kent, south africa and brazil variants, and covid in india was a huge and rapidly escalating crisis. and, within days, the government had changed tack. this press release on the 19th of april announced...

certainly, there was a high—volume in april. the sunday times estimates that 20,000 people arrived in the uk from india in the first three weeks of the month. but again, this week, borisjohnson has defended his government. we put india on the red list, mr speaker, on april the 23rd, and the delta variant was not so identified until april the 28th, mr speaker, and was only identified as a variant of concern on may the 7th. this is all true. but it's also true that the role of variants in india's crisis was known earlier in april, and that people in mid april were urging the prime minister to act. and whatever the rights and wrongs of the government's decision, borisjohnson was following a pattern. at the start of the pandemic, he locked down england later than many european countries. in the autumn, he locked down later than his scientific advisers suggested. in december, he resisted calls for more restrictions at christmas, then changed his mind. and again here, he acted later than he might have.

the question is — what was the impact of doing that? by mid—may, the opposition was making these accusations. they should have put india on the red list at the same time as pakistan and as bangladesh. since then, we've had this three—week period in which thousands of people have returned from india, and that probably includes hundreds of new variant covid cases. and, as the case numbers in england increased, so did the criticism of what happened in april. injune, george eaton of the new statesman tweeted. .. but does this add up? can we connect the timing of india going on the red list with what's happening now? certainly, delta is the problem right now. it accounts for more than 90% of new cases, and one adviser extort describe what happening this way.

we are in the grip of early stages of this virus. - it is this delta variant. we got 7000 cases i would average at the moment - and a doubling around a week. but was the red list responsible for this? this is one current adviser. in other words, to some extent, the timing didn't matter because if delta had been delayed, more people would have been vaccinated and we know the vaccine reduces the chances of getting delta and of getting seriously ill because of it. but timing is not the whole story. look at this.

the uae brought in extra restrictions on travel from india from the 22nd of april. france was the 24th, the us, the 4th of may. the uk was the 23rd of april. it wasn't out of sync with these countries. here's an american official telling us the delta variant is doubling every two weeks, so it's probably going to become the dominant strain here. more broadly, the who says delta is in over 60 countries, so why is the uk particularly affected? it may be the volume of people who came in. doctorjeffrey barrett is quoted in the independent and says... he also points out denmark had individual cases of delta at the same time as the uk, but not a huge volume of them, and delta's impact

in denmark is much smaller. all of which feeds into the ongoing arguments of the timing of the red list decision. arguments that have an urgency because delta is becoming more and more of an issue. the problem at the moment is that the projections that include a significant third wave, which is what the delay today is designed to try and prevent, also say that in one month's time, the situation is very unlikely to look any better. the professor makes a longer—term point, too. there's no question that when we have this conversation of six months' time, we will be talking about different variants. how governments manage the variants will have a huge variation on how much covid disrupt our lives. both of those points are borne out by the last three months, because it is true that the delta variant would've reached the uk anyway. but it's also true that decisions

in april directly connected in april directly connect to the fact that england's covid restrictions will not be eased onjune the 21st. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. 0ur our thanks for that fascinating and deep insight into the delta variant. let's take a look at the sport. so much to talk about. we have to start with wales and the later on? italy are a lot of peoples favourites in the tournament. wales will be looking to secure their place in the euros knockout stage later today, as they take on arguably their toughest contender of the tournament so far,

29—game unbeaten italy. one man better placed than most to comment on how they'll fare today is former wales international, nathan blake. thank you for being here today. a great match for wales to go into knowing they have four points already from the results in the tournament, how well they view this match? t tournament, how well they view this match? ~ �* . ~ tournament, how well they view this match? ~ �* , ~' :, tournament, how well they view this match? ~ �* , ,, :, :, match? i think it's the kind of game where there — match? i think it's the kind of game where there is _ match? i think it's the kind of game where there is no _ match? i think it's the kind of game where there is no pressure - match? i think it's the kind of game where there is no pressure on - match? i think it's the kind of game i where there is no pressure on wales, the same could be said for italy really, but italy have this fantastic record which they are going to want to continue, this unbeaten record of 29 games. so for them, it's going to be a big ask, a big game, home fans, home stadium. for wales, big game, home fans, home stadium. forwales, no big game, home fans, home stadium. for wales, no real pressure. they could do with getting a point. i think if they score a goal also, in gold terms, it is already five, it would go to six. it's all to play

for and wales being the underdog as they often are, they should be able to go there with no pressure, a weight off their shoulders and play how they did in some form against the turks. :, :, ~' how they did in some form against the turks. :, :, ~ :, a, the turks. looking at gareth bale and aaron ramsey _ the turks. looking at gareth bale and aaron ramsey who _ the turks. looking at gareth bale and aaron ramsey who were - the turks. looking at gareth bale and aaron ramsey who were so i the turks. looking at gareth bale - and aaron ramsey who were so good in the tricky match, how critical is it they are firing on all cylinders? if italy rest players, it could be interesting, maybe the unbeaten run could go? it interesting, maybe the unbeaten run could ot? :. . interesting, maybe the unbeaten run could ot? :,, :, interesting, maybe the unbeaten run could ot? :, :, :, interesting, maybe the unbeaten run could to? :, :, :, could go? it has to go at some toint, if could go? it has to go at some point. if you — could go? it has to go at some point, if you are _ could go? it has to go at some point, if you are italy, - could go? it has to go at some point, if you are italy, you - could go? it has to go at some point, if you are italy, you can| point, if you are italy, you can replace players, i don't think he illini will play, i think that has been well documented but —— years, say, verratti, there is strong what he will probably start. so from start to finish, their squad is

fantastic. regardless of who they play, i don't think they will be weakened, just by the fact the players have not played together for a while. it's a big ask, no bones about it, to go out there and get a win, but to get a result of some form? i think they can pick up a point, most definitely.- form? i think they can pick up a point, most definitely. what is the vibe in the camp? _ point, most definitely. what is the vibe in the camp? are _ point, most definitely. what is the vibe in the camp? are the - point, most definitely. what is the vibe in the camp? are the feelings they could replicate the incredible run from 2016?— they could replicate the incredible run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure — run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure on _ run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure on wales, _ run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure on wales, a _ run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure on wales, a lot - run from 2016? absolutely. there is no pressure on wales, a lot of - no pressure on wales, a lot of people were talking but what they had done in 2016 but i don't think anyone thought they could replicated and after the first game i think most of us were thinking would could be going home early. the game against turkey changed everything around, a fantastic game, the whole squad, the whole team that played, were fantastic and you saw the togetherness and camaraderie afterwards, even an apology from gareth bale for missing a penalty, so it was done tongue in cheek, but he clearly meant it. there is no

at queen's club as he chases his first atp title. norrie beat the second seed denis shapovalov in straight sets 7—5 6—3. he'll play italy's matteo berrettini, in the final this afternoon, the number one seed, who's already knocked out brits dan evans and andy murray. harlequins pulled off the biggest comeback in the history of the premiership to book their place in next weekend's final. after trailing 28—0 to bristol bears at half time, the match had finished at 31—all at the end of normal time but two tries including this from joe marchant sealed the victory and a place in the premiership final. where they'll face exeter chiefs, a final try from alex cuthbert and a penalty from joe simmonds was enough to send the chiefs to twickenham as they beat sale sharks 40 points to 30. lewis hamilton will have his work cut out to make it a hat—trick of french grand prix wins this afternoon after max verstappen beat him to pole. championship leader verstappen dominated practice and qualifying at paul ricard circuit in the south of france. the dutchman was quarter of a second ahead of hamilton who's mercedes

team mate valtteri bottas will start from third. in golf, at the us open, louis 0osthuizen, russell henley, and mackenzie hughes all share the lead on five under par after the third round at torrey pines in california. 0osthuizen, seeking his second major championship, holed this incredible 50 foot eagle putt on the 18th to take a share of the lead. while, exactly 10 years to the day after winning his first major, rory mcllroy is tied for second on 3 under, butjoint overnight leader richard bland saw his challenge fade — he's 1 over par. it has been seven years since rory mcilroy last won a major. enter the final games of the group stages. tuesdayis final games of the group stages. tuesday is when scotland and england play their final group game so that will be absolutely mega in terms of

to our home affairs correspondent, nikki mitchell. the gardens are such a lovely place, and if me and jan had been living in reading, it's where we would have been on that sunny day. this has been a tough week after an agonising year forjan and gary furlong. they will be travelling down from liverpool to reading, where their sonjames had built a full and happy life. we will be there for james and joe and david. we'll be there for all of them. the three boys, what happened, it's going to be sad, but it's going to be to remember them all. and just make sure they will never be forgotten. james furlong, joe ritchie—bennett and david wails were all members of reading's gay community and regulars of the lgbtq+ friendly pub. it's important that we go and spend some time with the local people

that we know from reading, even as much as the pub. 0ur gratitude is endless to be honest with you. support from the lgbt, and you know, that was a big part of james's life, both in reading and liverpool. we have been back a few times since for different memorials, for different things. lovely, lovely people. but also just to be able to have that kind of personal walk around with james's friends, other family members and... so we just spend that little our time as a group. gary and jan will also be at a memorial later next week at the school in wokingham where james taught history. it will have sadness for us, but it will have good memories

of good people and certainly as far as the whole school is concerned, because it was james's world. it wasn'tjust a job, it was a vocation in life forjames. he loved his history and politics. he loved teaching the children. and them... them pupils are james's legacy. the amount of letters we got off them, how he affected their lives... they were beautiful, absolutely beautiful. but heartbreaking as well, to read. but he was loved so much. "deaer furlong..." it was like, "that is our son." so proud of him. the work they put in in the honour ofjames... amazing stuff. that will sit to the end kind of thing. beautiful boy. 0ne loving, caring. good, dry sense of humour. which really came out. always funny.

he led a full, well lived life and... what a lovely person he was. it'sjust heartbreaking news not with us, but... the furlongs have built a summerhouse in their garden as a place to rememberjames. planting pots ofjames ritchie asters which will bloom with pink flowers later this year. with the last 12 months, the problem is with every happiness and every happy day we have, at the end of the day, we go up and then we come down there to sadness. to the floor, don't we? to sadness. it will never be easy but we've got to find a of celebrating his life with happiness. he would want us to be strong and be happy, wouldn't he? yeah. our thanks to jan and gary for speaking to us aboutjames. dee schepers was good friends with both james and joe ritchie—bennet and joins us

now from reading. good morning. how will you remember james, joe and david today? i james, joe and david today? i remember them james, joe and david today? i rememberthem every james, joe and david today? i remember them every day. but i'm so grateful to the council and the pub for putting anything together that they did today. we will go to the gardens and have a service as well for the guys and it will be nice to get together to celebrate their memories today. i get together to celebrate their memories today.— memories today. i know it is difficult. _ memories today. i know it is difficult, even _ memories today. i know it is difficult, even a _ memories today. i know it is difficult, even a year - memories today. i know it is difficult, even a year on, - memories today. i know it is| difficult, even a year on, just memories today. i know it is i difficult, even a year on, just if you can, remind us of what happened that day. it you can, remind us of what happened that da . :. . you can, remind us of what happened that da . :, , , ., you can, remind us of what happened that da . :, , , :, :, :, you can, remind us of what happened thatda. , :, :, :, that day. it was 'ust a normal day. we were that day. it was 'ust a normal day. we were an — that day. it wasjust a normal day. we were all meant _ that day. it wasjust a normal day. we were all meant to _ that day. it wasjust a normal day. we were all meant to meet - that day. it wasjust a normal day. we were all meant to meet up - that day. it wasjust a normal day. | we were all meant to meet up and that day. it wasjust a normal day. . we were all meant to meet up and go for a walk and then go to the gardens after and we did this very often. but on the morning of that day, i decided i couldn't go because

i had some decorating so i didn't join them in the end but i spoke to james about 2pm that afternoon and they were waiting at the pub for some lunch that they had ordered and then they were going to go afterwards and... that is the last time i spoke to them and... it's a tough thing really, it... taste time i spoke to them and... it's a tough thing really, it...— tough thing really, it... we are really grateful _ tough thing really, it... we are really grateful for _ tough thing really, it... we are really grateful for you - tough thing really, it... we are really grateful for you talking i tough thing really, it... we are| really grateful for you talking to us this morning, i know it's so difficult and thank you for spending time with us. you have talked in the past about the bond that you had with joe because past about the bond that you had withjoe because you both moved to the uk from elsewhere and that is something that brought you together? yes, i have to admit, i didn't know joe and offer long time but when we

met we became such good friends so quickly and wejust met we became such good friends so quickly and we just shared the same things and the same thoughts on a lot of things and to connect with someone in that way, i think as a foreigner, we all need a good friend which sometimes can be quite difficult to make in the uk because you don't always, but here in reading, it has been really lovely because they are accepting, everyone is accepting and you just feel you are part of something bigger and joe was part of that for me. he made me part of everything and... i was part of that for me. he made me part of everything and. . .— part of everything and... i wanted to ask you — part of everything and... i wanted to ask you that, _ part of everything and... i wanted to ask you that, what _ part of everything and... i wanted to ask you that, what will - part of everything and... i wanted to ask you that, what will their . to ask you that, what will their legacy be? you have talked about how you will remember them today but how will you remember them in the longer

this time last week. further west, 19—21. nothing in comparison to what we will see across the euros, 32 degrees for the italy wales game this evening. as we go through the evening we will see the cloud increasing down to the south and rain, some heavy moving across channel facing coasts. cloud elsewhere, temperatures widely in double figures. it does mean tomorrow we could have a disappointing that day across the channel. that rain will continue to move up, probably tend to sit around south of the m4 corridor, bristol towards the thames, anywhere south quite heavy. cloud elsewhere but hopefully for scotland and northern ireland, decent breaks and sunshine but still that wind is going to make it feel cool. 12 or 13 in the very north, even with the cloud and rain not promising at all. in fact, those

continue through the night so to start tuesday morning in rural parts of scotland, close to freezing but generally single figures temperatures first thing on tuesday. perhaps the best of the sunshine through the week. largely fine and dry clouding over whether rain by the end of the afternoon but temperatures will recover just the end of the afternoon but temperatures will recoverjust a touch. that rain pushes across scotland and northern ireland through the middle part of the week, fairly unsettled, potentially across central and southern england. there we go. a bit of an improvement, we will take that. thank you so much. they've become unlikely online stars thanks to their antics on nestcams and now it's hoped the popularity of four owls in somerset will help promote conservation. barn owl numbers in the area are in decline, but there are now calls for farmers to install more nest boxes. and, as scott ellis reports,

it seems to be paying off. just look at the wing of this. you can see it is not yet fully developed... born in the wild, but famous in tens of thousands of homes worldwide, thanks to nestcam. these are the parents, finn and 0rla. the eggs were laid in early april and hatched a month later, all in a nesting box in a barn in somerset�*s blackdown hills. they have had their first outing too... ..to have a numbered ring attached to a leg, the birds visibly unmoved by the experience. they are, after all, nocturnal. parents are feeding them during the night and then they are sleeping all during the day. so the adults are sleeping as well during the day. so this is their sleep time. that is why they are so docile when you ring them? yep, they literallyjust fall asleep on you while you're ringing them, which is very sweet. ringing the four owlets will help

identify them if they are found in future years in other nesting boxes or, sadly, if they die. somerset�*s barn owl population declined ten years ago because of widespread floods. the good news is it is now on the up. actually, it did not - affect them very much because they are not stupid. theyjust flew to a different part and they bred in a different area and then they recolonised once the floods dissipated. - these four are not likely to fly far from their nest when they depart in a few weeks' time. there's plenty of voles, and mice here for them to eat. so i do not see them going hungry and of course we are in an area where there's no major roads and we are not building houses here so they are in a relatively safe environment but, as i said before, that is not

the picture nationally. nationally, nature is really in trouble and all of these habitats are shrinking. so give it another month and the famous four will be getting hunting lessons from mum and dad and may even consider moving out. so watch the nestcam now before it is too late. it is hoped their popularity will highlight the importance of natural habitats, in an ever developing world. scott ellis, bbc news. just so sweet! it's 8:53am. when international hockey star, sam ward, lost vision in his left eye following an accident in 2019, he feared he might never play the sport again. but in the year and a half since, sam has overcome all the odds and has now been selected for team gb's 0lympic squad for the tokyo games. hejoins us now. how are you feeling today and congratulations on your selection. thank you. very excited as you can imagine, starting to kick in and it starts to feel real so kind of
