this is bbc news. the headlines at 5... people in england who are double—vaccinated and come into contact with covid could be spared ten days of self isolation. i think that in the time in the future i'm not sure when, but at some time i can imagine a situation where they will have alternatives to isolation for people who have had to have doses of 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.

wells were ta ken wells were taken in italy as they look to seal their place in the last 16. in the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters, thousands are still waiting for compensation. —— wales. 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. ministers are aiming to have two thirds of the adult population

double vaccinated by the 19th of july. 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 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 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 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. in response to those comments from andy burnham, the scottish government has released a statement, saying, we realise that with those with family and friends in manchester was fulford... —— manchester was fulford. .. —— manchester was fulford. .. —— manchester and manchester was fulford... —— manchester and salford. professor paul hunter is a professor of medicine at the university of east anglia. thank you for being with us. what is

your view on what we were hearing earlier about the possibility that, if you are double vaccinated, that might mean you don't have to self—isolate, is that a sensible way forward in the long term? it is alwa s a forward in the long term? it is always a question _ forward in the long term? it is always a question of _ forward in the long term? it 3 always a question of balances and certainly, if you have been double vaccinated, the chances of you getting the infection anyway and, evenif getting the infection anyway and, even if you do, having a severe infection is substantially lower. also if you are double vaccinated, if you do get infected you're less likely to infect somebody else because you shed less virus. you can't say a double vaccinated person will never infect somebody else but it substantially lower, and i think thatis it substantially lower, and i think that is probably a sensible easing of restrictions.— that is probably a sensible easing of restrictions. would that apply to travel as well, _ of restrictions. would that apply to travel as well, if _ of restrictions. would that apply to travel as well, if you _ of restrictions. would that apply to travel as well, if you work - of restrictions. would that apply to travel as well, if you work double l travel as well, if you work double vaccinated, perhaps you would not need to quarantine in the same way?

i think it does. the exceptions to thatisif i think it does. the exceptions to that is if there are particular variants in the country that would pose a risk if imported back into this country but, excluding other variants, and the only variant of concern at the moment, at least from the uk, is the delta variant, more of a risk to others than from us at the moment. of a risk to others than from us at the moment-— of a risk to others than from us at the moment. although the vaccine roll-out is very _ the moment. although the vaccine roll-out is very successful, - the moment. although the vaccine roll-out is very successful, we - the moment. although the vaccine | roll-out is very successful, we have roll—out is very successful, we have seen large numbers of young people trying to get the vaccine, but if there were an incentive for people to be double vaccinated, surely that would be a good thing?— would be a good thing? absolutely, and ou're would be a good thing? absolutely, and you're quite _ would be a good thing? absolutely, and you're quite right. _ would be a good thing? absolutely, and you're quite right. we - would be a good thing? absolutely, and you're quite right. we do - would be a good thing? absolutely, and you're quite right. we do need| and you're quite right. we do need as many people to carry on and have the two vaccines as we possibly can. and already we are seeing the benefits of that. with fewer cases than we would have seen otherwise and actually fewer hospitalisations and actually fewer hospitalisations and fewer people getting severely

ill, so we have to press on with that and get as many people double vaccinated as we can.— vaccinated as we can. there is a lot of talk about _ vaccinated as we can. there is a lot of talk about whether _ vaccinated as we can. there is a lot of talk about whether we _ vaccinated as we can. there is a lot of talk about whether we have - vaccinated as we can. there is a lot i of talk about whether we have broken that link between the virus, the number of cases and hospitalisations and deaths, if we have not broken it, do you think we are gradually breaking it now? i’m it, do you think we are gradually breaking it now?— it, do you think we are gradually breaking it now? i'm actually not sure what they _ breaking it now? i'm actually not sure what they mean _ breaking it now? i'm actually not sure what they mean by - breaking it now? i'm actually noti sure what they mean by breaking breaking it now? i'm actually not - sure what they mean by breaking the link because, certainly, what we are seeing is many fewer cases of hospitalisations per case of infection than we saw even a few months ago, but the two are still highly correlated. if cases are double, then hospitalisations would probably double as well. so there will always be correlated, these figures, but the ratio is substantially lower, so substantially lower, so su bsta ntially fewer hospitalisations. it

substantially fewer hospitalisations. it is working and it is very reassuring when you look at the hospitalisation data compared to what we would have seen even a few months ago with a number of cases we are seeing. find few months ago with a number of cases we are seeing.— few months ago with a number of cases we are seeing. and of course freedom day. _ cases we are seeing. and of course freedom day. as — cases we are seeing. and of course freedom day, as it _ cases we are seeing. and of course freedom day, as it has _ cases we are seeing. and of course freedom day, as it has been - freedom day, as it has been described in england, was postponed from the 21st ofjune to the 19th of july but the possibility of the 5th ofjuly, a slightly earlier date on that. would you advise the government to go for an earlier date or to wait as long as possible until the 19th ofjuly to get as many people vaccinated as possible? there is not a single — people vaccinated as possible? there is not a single point _ people vaccinated as possible? there is not a single point before _ people vaccinated as possible? ii—ii” is not a single point before which it is advisable and after which it isn't, and what we are seeing is, as this epidemic progresses now, we are seeing more downward pressure because of the vaccination, and i think, in the last week or so, we have actually seen the rate of climb of cases actually slowing as well.

cases are still rising that they are not rising as quickly, at least in percentage terms, as they were a week or so ago. personally, i think if that continues, i would not lose any sleep over relaxing earlyjuly rather than mid—july. any sleep over relaxing early july rather than mid-july. interesting. good as ever _ rather than mid-july. interesting. good as ever to _ rather than mid-july. interesting. good as ever to talk— rather than mid-july. interesting. good as ever to talk to _ rather than mid-july. interesting. good as ever to talk to you, - rather than mid-july. interesting. | good as ever to talk to you, thank you so much for your time. mr; you so much for your time. my pleasure- _ 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's 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 european union's envoy to the iran nuclear talks has said both sides are closer to a deal but still not there. enrique mora was speaking after the latest round of discussions in vienna. he said progress had been made on a number of technical issues

and there was clarity on the political problems in the way of a deal. the former speaker of the house of commons and ex tory mp, john bercow, has been defending his decision to change allegiances and join the labour party. during his time as speaker, he 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. 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 moment are that aviation will take 4—5 years to recover and other sectors of the market, for example business travel will not recover. so it's a devastating blow to the whole of the aviation sector but that means trouble for the uk economy. if we don't have a thriving aviation sector then instead of global britain we will have grounded britain.

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 i47%. southend 134%. bournemouth i27% and brighton ii9%. 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.

match of euro 2020 — in a sweltering stadio olympico. there's just over 15 minutes gone in rome and it's still 0—0, after a quiet opening to the game. now wales are already all but through to the last 16. a win in rome would see them win the group but italy are one of the form teams in international football. they're unbeaten in 29 matches. there's full commentary of the game on bbc radio 5 live. still 0—0 in rome. meanwhile, switzerland can finish in the top two if they win and wales lose to italy but they'll need to make up a big goal difference deficit — haris seferovic has just put them a goal up against turkey. you can follow it all unfold on the bbc sport website. max verstappen has extended his formula one championship lead to 12 points after winning the french grand prix. the dutchman overtook britain's lewis hamilton with a lap to go to claim his third win of the season —

cameron norrie's wait for a maiden atp tour title goes on. the british number two was beaten in the last hour, in the final at queen's club. he lost in three sets to top seed matteo berrettini. the italian won the opener, but norrie came back to win the second and force a decider. that was the first set berrettini had lost all week. but norrie, in his fourth tour final, just couldn't get it over the line, berrettini taking the final set 6—3. but reaching the final takes norrie to number 31 in the world, which means he'll be seeded for wimbledon. really enjoyed my tennis here. if you had told me before the tournament i would sign for the final, it was a great week. really enjoyed my tennis, thank you to everyone for coming out today and supporting me. obviously, we did not get the title today but but we will

they're a post office family. but 20 years ago, they went from running a successful business to financial ruin. it was all because, in 2001, the post office computer system at their branch started showing big losses which he was being asked to come from his own pocket. i said to the post office, "sorry, i cannot put in £17,000, i do not have that kind of money." the post office said, if they would not pay up, the branch would be closed. they had no choice. they lost their business and were forced into bankruptcy. we managed a year or two, just living from hand to mouth. he was more worried about us losing our house, this house. they tried not to let it impact the children, but some days they could not hide the tears. she was crying and our daughter said, "mum, what happened?" for my boys, it was hard for them as well. | you feel helpless in a way, you feel| like, they have done nothing wrong.

they found it so hard as teenagers watching their parents lose everything after decades of work for the post office. we had an armed robbery on my 18th birthday and my mum was screaming downstairs and i came running down and she was holding the door shut to stop people getting into the house. that was what it was like, . living in a post office family, your house adjoined to it. for them, what happened, | for them to lose everything because of a system error- that was no fault of their own, it is kind of like a bitl of a kick in the teeth. the postal affairs minister said those that lost money but were not convicted over those computer errors are beginning to receive payouts. payments under the scheme have now begun. the government will continue to work with the post office to see the scheme delivers on all of its objectives. the post office say they are working as quickly as they can to process around two and a half thousand

claims but, 21 years after their livelihood was taken away from them, the family are running out of patience. cut the delays and get the ball rolling, at least show a bit - of humility in that respect. i want to see them giving this compensation when i am alive, so that at least what they did wrong to us, i can give something to my grandchildren, if i couldn't give it to my children. athletes staying at the olympic village in tokyo will have to wear masks when exercising and eat and drink alone. it's an attempt to prevent outbreaks of coronavirus. this is the tokyo olympic village and it's the first chance for any of us in the media have had to come in and take a look at what will be the hub of the tokyo olympic games because in a few weeks' time thousands of athletes from all over the world will arrive in tokyo, and

this is where they will stay during the games. that olympic organisers have brought us here to show us how they will do that safely. this is a representation of what the athletes' village bedrooms look like, and these are the beds. the quite small. —— they are quite small. they are also made of cardboard, which is environmentally friendly, an issue that the design of these bedrooms they are shared, as they always have been, but because of the pandemic they have been many experts who have said that sharing rooms is a really bad idea. so this is one of the main dining halls, and you can see is pretty fast, and it needs to be because they will serve 45,000 meals every day during the games. now, to mitigate the risk of having so many people coming in here everyday and mixing together, they are telling athletes that they need to use their

smartphone app to find out when it's least busy here, to come alone, pick up least busy here, to come alone, pick up their meal and come to one of these tables which will have plastic dividers on them and they are being told they must then eat their meal alone and do so quickly. it doesn't sound like an awful lot of fun but thatis sound like an awful lot of fun but that is how they are trying to mitigate the risk. this is the main gym and again you can see it's pretty huge, apparently there is room for 500 people to train at any one time here and they have these dividers between the machines, but the main anti covid measure they will and force here is to make everybody who comes and wear a mask, even when they are on these machines, and it's hard to see how you would enforce that but how these athletes will wear a mask while training hard on one of these machines. so this is a facility that is specifically built because of the covid—19 pandemic, you would not find it at a normal olympics, this is a fever clinic, that is where you go and get tested if you have a

fever or develop symptoms, you then get a pcr test and if that comes back positive the athlete will be brought to one of the specialist isolation rooms, and this has the on airfiltration isolation rooms, and this has the on air filtration system which means isolation rooms, and this has the on airfiltration system which means no virus can get out of the room and this is where they will be kept until they can be moved somewhere else. when mathew o'toole collapsed on a busy london street 10 days ago, most passers—by were unaware he was having a stroke. however, thanks to the quick thinking of one woman, he managed to get the urgent help he needed. mat and his wife georgina set out to find the unnamed guardian angel 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 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 combine. not too people can 'ust not combine. not too bus to people can just not combine. not too busy to take — people can just not combine. not too busy to take a _ people can just not combine. not too busy to take a call _ people can just not combine. not too busy to take a call from _ people can just not combine. not too busy to take a call from the - people can just not combine. not too busy to take a call from the woman i busy to take a call from the woman who helped save his life. hello again. for many of us, it's been a pretty cloudy day, and the but a pretty cloudy day, and the for most of us it looke like but for most of us it looked a bit like us for much of the day. the cloud has been thick enough to bring
