this is bbc news with the latest headlines. people in england who come into contact with the and a double job could be spent ten days of self isolation. i think at the time in the future, not sure when, but i can imagine a situation where we will have an alternative to isolation for those who have two doses of the vaccine. a surge in coronavirus vaccination bookings in the uk, as 18—20 year olds sign up for theirjab in huge numbers. more than half a million people in brazil have now died from coronavirus — experts warn the outbreak could worsen. how we do like to be beside the seaside — coastal towns are the biggest

coronavirus variant, that has been delayed so millions more can get vaccinated. this weekend has seen a huge boost with football grounds like here in tottenham opening their doors. jabs are now available to anyone over 18 and more than 700,000 were booked in on friday alone. meanwhile, a trial is under way to see whether it could be possible for people who are fully vaccinated to avoid self—isolating if they come into contact with someone who has tested positive, which could open up foreign travel. they would take daily tests instead. we are moving steps forward and i think that in the time in the future, i'm not sure when, but at a time in the future i can imagine a situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have had two doses of the vaccine. while there are signs infections are slowing, across the uk work is taking place to contain the spread. from tomorrow, the scottish government has banned all nonessential travel

to the north west of england, a move which has angered the mayor of greater manchester. i'll be writing to the first minister today, i will be asking for compensation for the individuals who might lose holidays and the businesses who might lose bookings. why should a couple from salford who are double jabbed who are about to go on a walking holiday in scotland not be able to go? it is completely disproportionate. scientists say holidaying abroad is not recommended this year, a further blow for the aviation industry, with one union warning the uk sector has been the hardest hit in europe. justice secretary robert buckland told the andrew marr programme, ministers are trying to be as flexible as they can. of course there is frustration. all of us want to have a holiday in the sun but we are right to balance that with the need to control of the variants of concern. so far, 59% of adults have received two vaccines.

by delaying the ease of restrictions byjuly the 19th, the target is for two thirds of people to receive a double dose. it's hoped that should be enough to feel confident about complete unlocking. 0ur political correspondent jessica parker is here. we had from doctor susan hopkins that the idea that those in england who are double vaccinated may be could be spared ten days of a self isolation. how close do you think the government after reaching a decision on that? i the government after reaching a decision on that?— the government after reaching a decision on that? i think there is certainly an _ decision on that? i think there is certainly an aspiration _ decision on that? i think there is certainly an aspiration in - decision on that? i think there is certainly an aspiration in parts i decision on that? i think there isi certainly an aspiration in parts of government to look at ways life could be made a little easier. if you currently get pinged by the app or test and trace get in touch and you have to self—isolate for ten days, that can be problematic, challenging, burdensome forsome, days, that can be problematic, challenging, burdensome for some, so looking at those alternatives. we know from doctor susan hopkins there are studies under way to look at this possibility of daily tests instead and they are recruiting 40,000 people for that. in terms of

whether you could to see some sort of a similar system for people who have been double vaccinated being able not to quarantine if they come back from amber list countries, i'm told there are early conversations going on around that, but i do not really get the sense that any of this is about to happen tomorrow for example. what is quite interesting, if you put it in a bit of context, we are now looking tojuly the 19th, a so—called freedom a day, when it is hoped all legal restrictions on social contact will be lifted, but the measures we are talking about are kind of beyond that, so freedom day is a bit of a misnomer. we are still looking at certain types of control potentially on our lives. i suppose they talk about potential benefits of double vaccination are in themselves an added incentive to people to get vaccinated and to have both vaccines.— both vaccines. yes, and there is this question — both vaccines. yes, and there is this question of _ both vaccines. yes, and there is this question of fairness - both vaccines. yes, and there is this question of fairness i - both vaccines. yes, and there is i this question of fairness i suppose. know some people might feel uncomfortable with the idea that you will have a two tier system where those who were vaccinated get certain freedoms and those who do not cannot enjoy those particular

freedoms. talking today to government sources, i think there is a bit of an argument about the fact, well, all ovary teens are now in england have been offered a vaccine and can start going ahead with that. —— all over 18s. is a shift in what is and is not fair because my crew there is the desire to open up society for people's well—being and the economy as well. i think all of these arguments are playing out. we have the two week review, not this monday but next monday when we will find out if there's any chance of rejection is being lifted a little earlier, but i think will also be hearing more and more about these questions as well. —— restrictions being lifted. questions as well. -- restrictions being lifted-— being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead _ being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead of _ being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead of the _ being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead of the 19th, - being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead of the 19th, you - being lifted. that will be july the 5th instead of the 19th, you do l being lifted. that will be july the l 5th instead of the 19th, you do not have a crystal ball... if 5th instead of the 19th, you do not have a crystal ball. . ._ have a crystal ball... if only! could have _ have a crystal ball... if only! could have broken _ have a crystal ball... if only! could have broken a - have a crystal ball... if only! could have broken a lot - have a crystal ball... if only! could have broken a lot of. have a crystal ball... if only! - could have broken a lot of stories. what is the chance? i could have broken a lot of stories. what is the chance?— could have broken a lot of stories. what is the chance? i think the mood music so far — what is the chance? i think the mood music so far from _ what is the chance? i think the mood music so far from downing _ what is the chance? i think the mood music so far from downing street - what is the chance? i think the moodj music so far from downing street has been that it is not likely that he

will see early opening of restrictions and i think certainly when you listen to scientists, they seem keen on giving that month—long period for things to take effect, but what we are always told if they are looking at the data and some of the data has been a little bit more promising than some projections had originally said, so it has not been totally ruled out, but it definitely does not look likely at this stage. all right, thank you very much indeed, jessica parker out there, our political correspondent. brazil has now recorded more than half a million coronavirus deaths, making it only the second country after the us to pass that figure. more than 2,000 people have died of covid there in the past day alone. it's led to protests this weekend over president bolsonaro's approach to dealing with the virus. experts say the outbreak could get even worse because of a slow vaccination programme and the beginning of winter in brazil. mark lobel reports. as covid deaths reach half a million here, the painful goodbyes continue.

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. 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 is no other way. i have lost many friends, almost lost a cousin, millions of people are orphans, fatherless, motherless and childless. at these protests, replicated in dozens of cities across brazil, there is particularfury aimed at one man, brazil's president, jair bolsonaro, for his handling of this health emergency. brazil's health minister

tweeted the grim news of the 500,000 lives lost, saying he is working tirelessly to vaccinate all brazilians in the shortest time possible and to change this scenario that has plagued brazil for over a year. reducing hospitalisations 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. live now on copacabana beach in brazil where there is a tribute that has been paid by a brazilian charity

to the country's covid victims. 500,000 covid victims and a 500 red flowers have been put on at the beach there in copacabana. koko banner —— copacabana has been the scene of so many parties, festivals, football celebrations, rock concerts, but today a very sombre note at the copacabana beach in rio as brazil enjoys this harrowing coronavirus that has caused so much death and devastation in that country. the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham has accused the scottish government of hypocrisy, after it banned nonessential travel from scotland to manchester. mr burnham says he will be demanding compensation. it is double standards, it is hypocrisy. they had done to us exactly what they complain that the uk government does to scotland. i will be writing to

the first minister today and asking for compensation for the individuals who might lose holidays and the businesses who might lose takings. why should a couple from salford who are double jabbed who are about to go on a walking holiday to scotland not be able to go? it is completely disproportionate in my view, we could have come up with an arrangement if the first minister had contacted us. we need an arrangement here. the scottish government cannot impose things on parts of the north of england without any discussion with us, that is simply wrong. they need to live by the same standards that they have always called for from others. andy burnham there. the former speaker of the house of commons and previously tory mp john bercow has been defending his decision to change allegiances and join the labour party. during his time as speaker, mr bercow made controversial procedural decisions over the brexit process and had several run—ins with the conservatives. he was also accused of presiding over a culture of bullying —

something he rejects. he denies the move to labour is a tactic to distract from these allegations, but admits he does have some regrets from his time in office. we all make mistakes. have i been perfect in every instance? can i say that with the benefit of hindsight i have never have done something differently? of course i couldn't, but i come back to the central proposition one has, as a private citizen, the right to make a judgment about which political party to support. i believe in terms of values the labour party is preferable to the conservative party. labour says robert buckland must resign asjustice secretary if he fails to increase prosecution and conviction levels for rape within a year. over the past few years there's been a significant drop in the proportion of rape cases reported to police where alleged perpetrators were charged. the government has announced an action plan, aiming to return the number of prosecutions to 2016 levels by the end of the parliament.

but labour says the drop should be reversed within a year. mcdonald's has announced it's recruiting 20,000 more staff across the uk and ireland. the fast food chain insists new staff will not replace the jobs lost throughout the pandemic. it says the additional roles are being driven by plans to open more than 50 new restaurants over the next year. pilots are calling for urgent action to help their industry because of the "devastating" impact of the pandemic on airlines and airports. the british airline pilots' association says the uk aviation industry has been the hardest hit in europe because of restrictions on international travel. our business correspondent katie prescott is here. 0f of course the aviation crisis, aviation industry in general we know is in a terrible crisis at the moment and the pilots highlighting that. ., , moment and the pilots highlighting that. . , ., ., ., that. that is right, do not need to redo the figures, _ that. that is right, do not need to redo the figures, the _ that. that is right, do not need to redo the figures, the number- that. that is right, do not need to redo the figures, the number of. redo the figures, the number of flights leaving iredell three

quarters from 2019, you need to look at the skies, it has been such a difficult period for the whole travel industry as a whole. i've lost count of the amount of times i've reported on the travel industry crying out for more support. airlines in particular, they have kept going by flying cargo rather than people, but there is a shelf life to that date interviewed the boss of virgin atlantic a couple of weeks ago and they said we just needed to open travel corridors with the us. it has been recommended that american travels can come here but it is still on the amber list. they are not particularly happy with the traffic light system, particularly with how countries switch between being allowed in and being green or amber or red, they said that causes convocations at the people who want to travel and they released today from the pilots that the government

is tormenting the public over summer holidays because of that. so yes, this is just another cry for help from an industry that has for want of a better word been decimated over the last year. abs, of a better word been decimated over the last year-— the last year. a few months ago, the travel industry _ the last year. a few months ago, the travel industry was _ the last year. a few months ago, the travel industry was hoping _ the last year. a few months ago, the travel industry was hoping we - the last year. a few months ago, the travel industry was hoping we would | travel industry was hoping we would be back to something like normality at their summit be back to something like normality at theirsummit in be back to something like normality at their summit in terms of the holiday season, but that is a very problematic at the moment. we do not know if there will be foreign holidays or not. —— normality for some out. holidays or not. -- normality for some out-— holidays or not. -- normality for some out. ., , , ., some out. one of the biggest travel com anies some out. one of the biggest travel companies here _ some out. one of the biggest travel companies here on _ some out. one of the biggest travel companies here on the _ some out. one of the biggest travel companies here on the beach - some out. one of the biggest travel companies here on the beach is - some out. one of the biggest travel companies here on the beach is not| companies here on the beach is not selling any foreign holidays at all over summer because they say there is no point because they could well be changes and so they are not bothering and many people within the travel industry, even who are selling holidays, saying the public is put off from buying them because they do not know because there is still so much uncertainty. gill still so much uncertainty. all riaht, still so much uncertainty. all right. thank— still so much uncertainty. all right, thank you very much indeed. the headlines on bbc news: those in england who are double—jabbed,

and come into contact with covid, could be spared ten days of self isolation. a surge in coronavirus vaccination bookings in the uk, as 18—20 year olds sign up for theirjab in huge numbers. more than 500,000 people in brazil have now died from coronavirus. experts warn the outbreak could worsen. 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. that's so far of the group stage. look at the latest picture of that's look at the latest pictures of fans who are outside the stadio 0limpico, waiting for that game to begin in a couple of hours' time, just over. a few fans they're just milling around. that is the scene, they are italy fans obviously, but plenty of wales fans, well not

plenty, but some. and it will be fascinating to see how it wales get on in that game, see if they can keep the momentum of that fantastic victory against turkey where there are so many turkish fans in that stadium, not many wales fans but they still pulled off a great victory. from rome, hywel griffith reports. italian football is having a renaissance. the national team has played 29 games without a loss. to beat the azzurri here will require, well, an olympic effort. it's another brilliant ball and it's in this time. wales arrived buoyed by wednesday's 2—0 win against turkey. the result means they are almost guaranteed a place in the next round, but they haven't come to rome to relax. we still have the mentality we want to try to win the group, win the game. i think that's the best way to approach this. yeah, we'll be doing all we can to do that. the players know the atmosphere in the stadium will be intense, intimidating. with only a few hundred welsh fans to cheer them on.

thousands more have stayed at home, heeding official advice not to travel because of the pandemic. locatelli. two. the home team have also qualified for the next round but with the expectation of a nation mounting, they won't take wales for granted. translation: wales are a very difficult side to face _ because they have been right up in the fifa ranking for a number of years. that also proves 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. and let's get more from hywel in rome now. that has such an amazing performance against turkey, not many welsh fans

there to support the team. what rafi will be the proportion do you think of welsh fans there today? —— what roughly? it of welsh fans there today? -- what rou~hl ? , ,., roughly? it will be something similar to _ roughly? it will be something similar to baku, _ roughly? it will be something similar to baku, 300, - roughly? it will be something similarto baku, 300, 400. | roughly? it will be something - similar to baku, 300, 400. about the same number in stadio 0limpico here in rome and that is because the official advice of the welsh government to thousands of fans who dreams of coming was to stay at home and watch it on their screens. the ones who have travelled, well, they will be excited. after wales found their form again against turkey. they will also temper expectations with the realisation that italy, well, they have not lost in 29 games, they have not lost on home soil this century. we caught up with a view of fans earlier. we have to decide whether we end up at wembley or amsterdam at. decide whether we end up at wembley or amsterda— or amsterdam at, so i think a win today would _ or amsterdam at, so i think a win today would it — or amsterdam at, so i think a win today would it mean _ or amsterdam at, so i think a win today would it mean wembley - or amsterdam at, so i think a win | today would it mean wembley the or amsterdam at, so i think a win - today would it mean wembley the next round _ today would it mean wembley the next round a _ today would it mean wembley the next round. a nice cheeky 2—1win

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 to 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 at the lgbtq+ friendly pub, the blagrave arms. it's important that we go and spend some time with the local people that we know from reading, even as much as the blagrave pub. 0ur gratitude is endless, to be honest with you. support from the lgbt, and you know... lgbt, that was a big part of james's life, both in reading and liverpool.

we have been back to blagrave 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' kind of thing, as a group. gary and jan will also be at a memorial later next week at the holt 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 holt 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...

the 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.

by the think—tank centre for cities. 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. from window boxes to balconies, allotments to backyards, thanks to its revival as a pandemic pastime, gardening is certainly enjoying its moment in the sun. and more and more young people are developing green fingers. amy garcia has been digging around to find out why. pottering in the garden. a past—time once associated with the older generation. but no longer. horticulture is enjoying a renaissance among young people. this group of friends in skipton met through a shared passion for plants during lockdown. connecting a little more with nature. it is good exercise and nice to be outdoors and just learning something new. it is exciting. it sounds so boring. but when you see something actually

growing you go "i did that". we were fed up with living and working in the same place so i got the allotment on thursday and i am looking forward to getting stuck in. summer got her plot here in december and is now working through a waiting list of people like her, concerned about climate change and keen to be more green. there is a conversation about what we can do, and the obvious thing to do was to get away from a big monocultures and be a little more self—reliant. how can i build what i want to build but in a simplistic way that will not cost too much? is it cool? it is definitely cool. and others agree. in a recent poll, 83% of young people said gardening was now cool and more than half prefer to go to a garden centre than to a night out. when nightclubs finally reopen, will you choose dancing or gardening? in the garden centre. gardening, definitely. i would bring the party to the allotment. what a great idea. this is my veg patch.

more weeds here than anything edible, but it seems everyone is after it. there is a growing trend of social influencers posting about their perfect peas. this woman is a garden influencer on instagram, with 30,000 people following her journey. the gardening community is amazing. they are so supportive and if they are new to it especially and want to learn and want tips — how do you grow that? they want you to show your experience with that plan. i want some tips from you. look at my beans. or are they sweet peas, i think? they look sorry for themselves. as long as you have good quality compost and water them well they will be fine. i'm probably going wrong with watering. some gardens may be as neglected as my peas when all social restrictions are finally lifted, but for these young people the party is here on the plots. that was amy garcia reporting. now it's time for a look

at the weather with chris fawkes. is it gardening
