�* get to the it pushes but it may get to the midlands. in between the systems, brighter weather but the best weather and sunshine will be further north in scotland and northern ireland. broken cloud, sunny spells and highs of 18. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. those in england who are double—jabbed, and come into contact with covid, could be spared ten days of self isolation. i think at a time in the future, not sure when, but at a time in the future 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 winners as the uk economy bounces back from lockdown.

and at euro 2020, the spotlight is on wales today who will be looking to seal their place in the last 16 when they take on italy in rome. a leading scientific adviser says the government should consider making travel easier for people who have been double—vaccinated against coronavirus. dr susan hopkins of public health england told the bbc that might include the possibility of them not having to quarantine. more than half the uk adult population has now received both jabs. here's our health correspondent anna collinson. tomorrow was due to be the day england completely unlocked. but due to a more transmissible

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 a 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 and from 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. i have been getting the latest from our political correspondent who said early conversations are going on in government about alternatives to self isolation. iii government about alternatives to self isolation.— self isolation. if you currently get inued b self isolation. if you currently get pinged by the _ self isolation. if you currently get pinged by the app _ self isolation. if you currently get pinged by the app or— self isolation. if you currently get pinged by the app or test - self isolation. if you currently get pinged by the app or test entries | pinged by the app or test entries get in touch and you have to self—isolate the ten days, that can be problematic or burdensome for some, so looking at alternatives, we know from doctor susan hopkins that there are studies under way to look at this possibility of daily tests instead. they are recruiting 40,000 people for that. in terms of whether you could see some sort of similar system for people who have been double vaccinated, being able not quarantine if they come back from mls countries, i'm told there are some early conversations going on around that. —— amber list of countries. i do not get the sense this will happen tomorrow, but if

you put it in a bit of context, we are now looking tojuly you put it in a bit of context, we are now looking to july the 19th you put it in a bit of context, we are now looking tojuly the 19th as are now looking tojuly the 19th as a so—called freedom a day when it is hoped all legal restrictions on a social contact would be lifted, but the measures we are talking about are kind of beyond that. freedom date is a bit of a misnomer. we are still looking at certain kind of controls on our lives. i still looking at certain kind of controls on our lives. i suppose all this talk about _ controls on our lives. i suppose all this talk about the _ controls on our lives. i suppose all this talk about the potential - this talk about the potential benefits of double vaccination are in themselves an added incentive to people to get vaccinated and 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. we - both vaccines. yes, and there is i this question of fairness. we know that some people might feel uncomfortable with the idea that you will have a two tier system with those who are vaccinated get certain freedoms and those who do not cannot enjoy those freedoms. talking today to government sources, i think there is a bit of an argument about the fact that well, all over 18 is now have been offered a vaccine in england and can start going ahead with that, has the balance shifted a bit in terms of what is and is not

fair? 0ut there is this desire to try and open up a as possible for people's well—being and the economy as well. i think all of these arguments are playing out. of course we have the two week review, not this monday but next monday, and we will find out if there is any chance of restrictions being lifted earlier, but i think we will also be hearing more about these questions as well. ., ., , ~ as well. that would be due like face instead ofjuly _ as well. that would be due like face instead ofjuly the _ as well. that would be due like face instead ofjuly the 19th. _ as well. that would be due like face instead ofjuly the 19th. you - as well. that would be due like face instead ofjuly the 19th. you have i instead ofjuly the 19th. you have not got a crystal ball. —— july the 5th. iii not got a crystal ball. -- july the 5th. ., , ., not got a crystal ball. -- july the 5th. ., y ., a, , a, 5th. if only! could have broken a lot of stories. _ 5th. if only! could have broken a lot of stories. i _ 5th. if only! could have broken a lot of stories. i think _ 5th. if only! could have broken a lot of stories. i think the - 5th. if only! could have broken a lot of stories. i think the mood l lot of stories. i think the mood music so farfrom lot of stories. i think the mood music so far from downing street has been it is not likely you will see an early lifting in restrictions before july the 19th, on that an early lifting in restrictions beforejuly the 19th, on thatjuly before july the 19th, on thatjuly the 5th date and certainly when listen to the scientists, they seem keen on that month long period for them to take effect, but we are always told they're looking at the data and some of the data it seems has been a little bit more promising

than some predictions has originally said. it has not been totally ruled out, but it definitely does not look likely at this stage was notjessica park 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. 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 would 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. seaside resorts are bouncing back faster than big cities when it comes to in—shop spending — that's according to new research 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. 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 a 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. a special memorial service will be held laterfor three men murdered in an islamist attack in reading exactly one year ago. james furlong, joe ritchie—bennett and david wails were stabbed to death whilst sitting together in a park. ahead of today's event, james' parents have been speaking to 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 saturday evening, 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 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. dear mr furlong this and... it was like, that is our son. so proud of him. the work they put in in the honour ofjames. amazing. that sit to the end kind of thing. both: yeah. the parents of james furlong there talking ahead of that special memorial service for the victims of the reading park attack exactly one year ago. 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 half a million

people in brazil have now died from coronavirus — experts warn the outbreak could worsen. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's austin halewood. there's only one place to start because wales' final group game of euro 2020 is less than 2 hours away, but this one is certain to be their toughest challenge yet. they face group a leaders italy, on home soil in rome. and although the welsh are all but guranteed a spot in the knockout stage, italy are in ominous form. as our correspondent 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. not long to wait, kick off at 5pm and a live commentary on radio five live. tennis and british number two cameron norrie is bidding for his first atp tour title at the queen's club tournament, and he's taken the top seed matteo berrettini to a deciding third set. the italian's serve has been a formidable weapon, he broke norrie in the fifth game to take the opener 6—3. but norrie, who's ranked 41st in the world, 32 places below berrettini, forced a tie—break in the second set and won that 7—5. so these are the live pictures from west london.

it is 2-2 it is 2—2 in that deciding set, so still going with serve. norrie bidding for that first title on the tour. and a good time to be in form too with wimbledon just over a week away. and you can follow the match live now on bbc 1. the final round of golf�*s us open has just got underway in california. the early starters are out on the course at torrey pines and rory mcilroy is in contention. he's currently tied fourth, two shots off the lead. south african louis 0osthuizen is one of 3 leaders on 5 under. he's looking for a second major title. and a few more monster putts like this one, for eagle on the 18th, could get him there. while it's exactly 10 years to the day since mcilroy won his first major — a four—under par third round brought him level with defending champion bryson dechaumbea. india have been bowled out for just 217 on day three

of the world test championship final against new zealand in southampton. the conditions haven't been ideal for batting and the kiwis took full advantage. kyle jamieson taking five of the indian wickets, while trent boult and neil wagner took two each. ajinkye rahane the top scorer for india with 49. new zealand have just started their first innings and a short time ago they were 19—0. —— second innings. spain's marc marquez banished 18 months of struggles as he dominated at the sachsenring to win the german motogp. the six—time world champion crashed in the opening race last year and missed 15 races. he started from a season's best fifth on the grid, took the lead on the opening lap and held on to take his first win since the last race of the 2019 season. and you can also keep up to date with all of the latest from the french grand prix — lewis hamilton currently in the lead ahead of championship leader max verstappen — on the bbc sport website.

that's bbc.co.uk/sport. but that's all your sport for now. it is not quite all the sport because we will keep talking about wales and the euro is an spotlight very much on the welsh team who will be looking to seal their place in the last 16 when they take up italy in that match this afternoon in rome. we caught up with a few of the wales fans ahead of the game. we have to decide whether we end up at wembley or amsterdam, so i think a win today would mean wembley for the next round. a game at wembley with all the fans. a nice cheeky 2—1win ithink, today, for wales. i will take any win, - to be honest, but if not, a draw would be good. 1—1 draw. if we have to go to wembley, we have to go to wembley, so... wales are going to win. we have come all this way. but italy are a good team, italy are a good team. - it does not matter, we are here, having fun, that is the main thing,

does not matter about the game. nice one, mate. cheers, i will get the next one. actually, it does matter about the game. mark bowen is a former wales international defender — capped 41 for his country — and has managed a number of teams, including most—recently reading, up until last year. hejoins me now. i think ithink i'm i think i'm right in saying your assistant manager at the last time wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years ago? wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years auo? , wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years am? , , , wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years auo? , , , ., wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years ao? , , , ., ., wales beat italy in cardiff 20 years am? , , , ., ., ., ., ago? yes, it seems a long time ago now but that _ ago? yes, it seems a long time ago now but that was _ ago? yes, it seems a long time ago now but that was a _ ago? yes, it seems a long time ago now but that was a special - ago? yes, it seems a long time ago now but that was a special night - now but that was a special night indeed. we beat italy in cardiff and craig and simon scored on the night and full house in the stadium and it puts us into a play—off situation with russia going ahead, which we did not progress in it, but special memories, yes. find did not progress in it, but special memories. yes-— did not progress in it, but special memories, yes. and i suppose that was not an — memories, yes. and i suppose that was not an easy — memories, yes. and i suppose that was not an easy task, _ memories, yes. and i suppose that was not an easy task, because - memories, yes. and i suppose that was not an easy task, because it i memories, yes. and i suppose that l was not an easy task, because it was a great italian side, bit it was easier, because you are in cardiff with loads of welsh fans and know

you are in rome with lots of italian fans and not too many welsh fans. yes, that is correct. again, ijust think wales seem to be flourishing as underdogs, we would have done that, so going into the game again, the players assume in fantastic spirit amongst themselves and being the underdog i think it helps, because they have nothing to improve, they can go there and relax. —— nothing to prove. if they were desperately needing a win to go forward, obviously we all want the winner because we want them to come back to wembley and maybe get... ahead today i think wembley 50% capacity, i think that is right at the second stages, so if that is the case, you could probably have about 40,000 screaming welshmen there if they can get a win today. what 40,000 screaming welshmen there if they can get a win today.— they can get a win today. what you think is the — they can get a win today. what you think is the secret _ they can get a win today. what you think is the secret of _ they can get a win today. what you think is the secret of the _ they can get a win today. what you think is the secret of the team's i think is the secret of the team's success so far? 0bviously great

players commit superstar like gareth bale, but is it team spirit as well? he was doing a great team talk, shouting at the players that we go again, it is a fantastic team spirit. again, it is a fantastic team sirit. ~ . , ., ., again, it is a fantastic team sirit. ~ . , . ., ., ., spirit. wales have always had that and we have _ spirit. wales have always had that and we have had _ spirit. wales have always had that and we have had to _ spirit. wales have always had that and we have had to rely _ spirit. wales have always had that and we have had to rely on - spirit. wales have always had that and we have had to rely on it - spirit. wales have always had that and we have had to rely on it overj and we have had to rely on it over the years, but it is notjust the team and staff, it is the closeness the players have with the supporters, travelling supporters and fans as well. it is a real, the coin the phrase together in the last european championships and i think it is about that, fighting and singing of the same page, for the welsh situation singing of the same page, but the success, i think ramsay and gareth bale, they saw that the matchwinners and the game changers for us, the welsh side is also built on the defence as well.

they are the ones who have been the rock that it has been built on. imilieu rock that it has been built on. when it comes to — rock that it has been built on. when it comes to scoring, _ rock that it has been built on. when it comes to scoring, there _ rock that it has been built on. when it comes to scoring, there is - rock that it has been built on. when it comes to scoring, there is that i it comes to scoring, there is that telepathic understanding between aaron ramsey and gareth bale, it is extraordinary. it aaron ramsey and gareth bale, it is extraordinary-— extraordinary. it really is, ithink it is “ust extraordinary. it really is, ithink it isjust the _ extraordinary. it really is, ithink it isjust the confidence - extraordinary. it really is, ithink it is just the confidence aaron i it is just the confidence aaron ramsey has, notjust on his fitness, but knowing his trademark is making those runs into the imposing penalty box and he knows if he does it, gareth will basically drop it right at his feet, so he is confident in playing that way. the interesting thing will be with, the game is important, no doubt about that, we wanted to try and win, certainly not get beat, but at the same time, if we are going to progress and move forward, we noted those two to do well and i would certainly be concerned as the game goes on the fitness of those special players because they mean so much to us. the italians are terrific at the moment, there are a lot of people's for the tournament, it will be a really tall

who came to his aid and, thanks to social media, he's made contact with the woman — danielle — who provided assistance. so, danielle's friend or colleague reached out to us and said, i think i know danielle. she's been worried about this for a few days. it was just wow, wow, that's the power of social media, so we just e—mailed out to say, is this you? if so, i don't know where to begin. i don't know how to say thank you for everything you did for us. and she said, she wrote back and she said yes, it's me, let's have a conversation. she said, i recognise you're probably busy on father's day. 0h! just amazing, i just want to talk to her so much about why, about how, about what i can do to support what she did, and how more people can just not walk on by.

now it's time for a look at the weather. pretty cloudy one, there have been a few breaks, the best across parts of wales, northern england and northern ireland where we have seen a bit of sunshine pick three, but for many, skies will look a bit more like this for much of the day and it has been thick enough at times to bring patches of drizzle, we have seen that close to the slow—moving weather front in the south of england and wales, bringing that the coke ad. also another weather front in scotland that has been bringing a bit of rain as well. —— bringing that cloud. in the south, murky and drizzly initially but more heavy rain putting in later. a mild night, 12 to 13 celsius. 0n rain putting in later. a mild night, 12 to 13 celsius. on monday, this

weather front slowly pushes northwards, bringing further rain, quite heavy at times, not that we need any more of that into southern england, perhaps reaching parts of the southern midlands and east anglia. that is your weather. people in england to a double vaccinated and come into contact with covid could be spared ten days of self isolation. i think at a time in the future, not sure when, but at a time in the future 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 winners as the uk economy

bounces back from lockdown. and at euro 2020, the spotlight is on wales today who will be looking to seal their place in the last 16 when they take on italy in rome. now on bbc news, the media show. the world's biggest leaders have been face—to—face in a series of meetings. but as always, nobody from the press was allowed in the room. so how easy is it forjournalists to sort the fact from the spin? and do the politicians even want them there? hello. the g7 summit, the nato summit, putin, biden, the world's biggest leaders were face to face in a series of meetings this week. these are some of the most intensely scrutinised meetings you can imagine. and you will have to imagine

because of course none of the press were allowed in the room.
