this is bbc news. the headlines at 6... a senior scientist says it might be possible for people with both covid jabs to face fewer restrictions, and travel without quarantining. 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 plea from pilots for more help to stop the pandemic devastating the airline industry. the bbc understands the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters but thousands are still waiting for compensation. i want to see them giving this

compensation when i'm alive so that at least what they did wrong to us i can give something to my grandchildren. joy for italian fans but anxiety for wales as they go 1—0 down to leave the euros qualification hopes hanging in the balance. and the "nestcam" stars who are proving to be a real hoot with internet audiences. a leading scientific adviser has suggested that, at some point, british holiday—makers who've had both their coronavirus jabs might be able to avoid having to quarantine when they return from abroad. dr susan hopkins of public health england said people should be

predominantly holidaying at home this summer while the rest of the population was vaccinated. ministers are aiming to have two thirds of the adult population double—jabbed by the new unlocking date ofjuly the 19th. 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,
6:03 pm
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
6:04 pm
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 easing 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've been speaking to our political correspondent, jessica parker, who says early conversations are going on in government about alternatives to self—isolation. so, if you currently get pinged by the app, you have to self—isolate for ten days, that can be problematic, burdensome forsome peoples are looking at alternatives, we know from doctor susan hopkins this study is under way to look at
6:05 pm
the possibility of daily tests instead, and they are recruiting 40,000 people for that, and in terms of whether you can see some sort of similar system for people who have been double vaccinated, being able to not quarantine if they come back from amber list countries, i'm told there are early conversations going on around that but i don't get the sense that any of this is about to happen tomorrow, for example, but what is interesting if you put into context we are looking atjuly the 19th a so—called freedom day when it's hoped that all legal restrictions on social contact will be lifted but the measures we are talking about are beyond that so freedom day is a misnomer, we are still looking at controls in our lives. �* , . ~ still looking at controls in our lives. �* , ., ~ ., lives. all this talk about the potential — lives. all this talk about the potential benefits _ lives. all this talk about the potential benefits of - lives. all this talk about the potential benefits of double i potential benefits of double vaccination are in themselves an added incentive to people to get vaccinated and have both vaccines. and there's this question of fairness, so we know that some people might feel uncomfortable with the idea that you will have a two

tier system where those who have been vaccinated get certain freedoms and those who cannot enjoy those particular freedoms, and those who cannot enjoy those particularfreedoms, talking and those who cannot enjoy those particular freedoms, talking today to government sources i think there is an argument going on, all over 18 sabine offered a vaccine and can start going ahead with that, has the balance shifted in terms of what is and is not fair? —— over 18s. and there is a desire to open up society as much as possible for people's well—being but for the economy as well, so all of these arguments are playing out. we have a two—week review next monday and we will find out if there is any chance of restrictions being lifted earlier but i think we will also hear more and more about these questions as well. 50 and more about these questions as well, ., ., , and more about these questions as well. ., ., , g , well. so that would be july the 5th instead of the _ well. so that would be july the 5th instead of the 19th, _ well. so that would be july the 5th instead of the 19th, you _ well. so that would be july the 5th instead of the 19th, you don't - well. so that would be july the 5th | instead of the 19th, you don't have a crystal ball, obviously, but what are the chances... i

6:08 pm
from true. there have been over 4000 cases of the delta variant and we also know from singapore and israel that they have been outbreaks with fully vaccinated people getting infected and in singapore those people are infected. so it's quite a dangerous strategy, it's not backed up dangerous strategy, it's not backed up with any evidence at this point in time and the thinking appears to be that we look to be pushing people back to other places while putting others at risk.— others at risk. that is a negative wa of others at risk. that is a negative way of looking — others at risk. that is a negative way of looking at _ others at risk. that is a negative way of looking at the _ others at risk. that is a negative way of looking at the vaccine - way of looking at the vaccine because other side to say it's 90% effective, if you are double vaccinated, and stopping you getting coronavirus. you getting very ill with coronavirus, so surely they have to be rewards for people who get double vaccinated.— get double vaccinated. there is a hu . e get double vaccinated. there is a huge difference _ get double vaccinated. there is a huge difference in _ get double vaccinated. there is a huge difference in the _ get double vaccinated. there is a i huge difference in the effectiveness and getting a virus and severe disease, we do not know what the effectiveness is against the delta
6:09 pm
variant. for example, astrazeneca is 60% so the effectiveness of reducing transmission might be higher but we don't know but what we do know from our experience is that people do pass on the virus and get infected if they are vaccinated and we are at a point in time where we are still researching, cases are doubling every 11 days and are accompanied by hospitalisations and deaths, particularly the under 65s and we have a large part of the population thatis have a large part of the population that is not protected. a lot of people are prone to transmission, and we will put people at risk if we allow double vaccinated people not to isolate, given they transmit it to isolate, given they transmit it to those people who are not protected. to those people who are not protected-— to those people who are not protected. to those people who are not rotected. �* ., ., ,., . to those people who are not rotected. �* ., ., . ~ ., protected. and what about... we know that freedom — protected. and what about... we know that freedom day _ protected. and what about... we know that freedom day has _ protected. and what about... we know that freedom day has been _ protected. and what about... we know that freedom day has been postponed, that freedom day has been postponed, that it that freedom day has been postponed, thatitis that freedom day has been postponed, that it is nowjuly the 19th, some

people suggesting it could be earlier, july the 5th, by your logic i'm guessing that you don't think the earlier date should be an option for the government? i’m the earlier date should be an option for the government?— for the government? i'm really concerned _ for the government? i'm really concerned about _ for the government? i'm really concerned about preventing . concerned about preventing transmission. the thinking appears to be... more than 10,000 cases now, the thinking appears to be thatjust because we have most of our vulnerable fully vaccinated its fine to let it rip across the population when that would have huge impact in terms of long covid as well as the increase in hospitalisations and deaths we are seeing now. we need to be working hard on making schools safer and workplaces safer, putting on masks, ventilation is indoor, given the 55% of our population is not protected at this point in time fully. 50 not protected at this point in time full . ., i. not protected at this point in time full , ., ,, ~ fully. so when do you think we will be ready to — fully. so when do you think we will be ready to reopen _ fully. so when do you think we will be ready to reopen fully _ fully. so when do you think we will be ready to reopen fully the - be ready to reopen fully the economy? i

london. the latest government figures show that in the past 24 hours six deaths were reported and 9,284 new infections were recorded. that means an average of 9,365 new cases per day in the last week. over 280,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. nearly 43 million people have now had theirfirstjab — that's around 82% of uk adults. 236,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. 0ver 31.3 million people have now had both doses — that's 59.5% of uk adults. 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
6:13 pm
calls "ludicrously cautious". the government says it is working with the sector to navigate the challenges. our business correspondent, katie prescott, says the government's traffic light system has frustrated the industry. flights are down three quarters, you need to look at the skies, it has been such a difficult period for the travel industry as a whole and not just aviation, i've lost count of the amount of times i have reported on the travel industry, just crying out for more support. when you look at airlines out for more support. when you look atairlines in out for more support. when you look at airlines in particular they have kept going through the pandemic by flying cargo rather than people, but there is a shelf life to that and i interviewed the boss of virgin atlantic a couple of weeks ago and he said, wejust atlantic a couple of weeks ago and he said, we just need to open travel corridors with the us, they are very upset that the european commission has recommended that american travellers can come to europe but yet america hits still on the amber
6:14 pm
list and when you look at the travel industry as a whole 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 say that causes complications to people who want to travel and they released today from a pilot says the government is tormenting the public over the summer holidays because of that so, yes, this isjust another cry 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. let's get more on this from brian strutton, the general secretary of the british airline pilots' association. just tell us first of all, in an ideal world, what would you like the government to do now? i ideal world, what would you like the government to do now?— government to do now? i think everybody _ government to do now? i think everybody in — government to do now? i think everybody in the _ government to do now? i think everybody in the aviation - government to do now? i think| everybody in the aviation sector welcomes the idea of that traffic light system when it was first mooted, but the way that the government has applied it has left everybody totally confused and
6:15 pm
lacking trust in it, i represent pilots who are used to being methodical and standardised in their dayjob but the way methodical and standardised in their day job but the way that the government is approaching international air travel seems to be made up on the hoof without any proper evidence or transparency as to how they are taking their decisions about what countries are on what lists. you decisions about what countries are on what liste— on what lists. you save no transnarencv _ on what lists. you save no transparency or _ on what lists. you save no transparency or evidence l on what lists. you save no i transparency or evidence but on what lists. you save no - transparency or evidence but when portugal was pushed back to amber from green, the government did say there has been more cases in portugal, there is a new strain in portugal, there is a new strain in portugal, and a plea strain, so that was the reason they switched from green to amber, so there is transparency. green to amber, so there is transoarencv-_ green to amber, so there is transaren . , , transparency. they said nepalese strain, transparency. they said nepalese strain. they _ transparency. they said nepalese strain, they did _ transparency. they said nepalese strain, they did not _ transparency. they said nepalese strain, they did not say _ transparency. they said nepalese strain, they did not say how - transparency. they said nepalese| strain, they did not say how much transparency. they said nepalese i strain, they did not say how much or what makes parcel what does not, they did not mention the other three criteria they are supposed to take into account, every other country there is no information at all, if you look at water, the mediterranean

islands, the us routes, even many experts are scratching their heads to try and work out why those countries are on our red and amber lists. —— mortar. and our holiday—makers want to get away, our pilots want to fly their aircraft and get people to their holiday destinations and i think it's time for the government to come clean about exactly how it is deciding what countries we can and cannot travel to. �* , ., travel to. but the thing is, from the government _ travel to. but the thing is, from the government point _ travel to. but the thing is, from the government point of- travel to. but the thing is, from the government point of view, i travel to. but the thing is, from - the government point of view, they were accused of not being cautious enough, not stopping flights from india soon enough, you are saying they are being too cautious in their view now seems to be better safe than sorry and a lot of people would agree that view.— agree that view. yeah, well, if it's safe because _ agree that view. yeah, well, if it's safe because that _ agree that view. yeah, well, if it's safe because that is _ agree that view. yeah, well, if it's safe because that is what - agree that view. yeah, well, if it's safe because that is what the - safe because that is what the evidence says that's fine, i would not disagree with that at all but where is that evidence, where is the publication of the criteria and the standards being applied, the measurements of that data across the

various factors that the government published saying it was going to use? nobody has any idea at all, i don't think ministers have either. thank you for being with us. the headlines on bbc news... people in england who are double—vaccinated and come into contact with covid could be spared ten days of self isolation. pilots are calling for urgent action to help the industry because of the devastating impact of the pandemic. the bbc understands the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters but thousands are still waiting for compensation. the bbc has learned that the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters with thousands of others still waiting for compensation. these are individuals who suffered because of the faulty horizon computer system installed in their branches, which made it
6:18 pm
look like money had gone missing. 0ur consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith, has been hearing about the impact on three generations of one family. when we came here, this used to be a post office. anjana and baljhit sethi owned this branch. in fact, anjana's dad was a postmaster too — 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 cover 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.
6:19 pm
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, i living in a post office family, your house adjoined to it. for them then, what happened, for them to lose everything - because of a system error- that was no fault of their own, it's kind of like a bit i of a kick in the teeth. the postal affairs minister said those that lost money but were not convicted over those computer errors
6:20 pm
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 2,500 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. wales are facing an uphill struggle to secure the single point they need to guarantee qualification for the knockout phase of the european football championship. they're1—0 down to italy in rome — after matteo pessina converted

6:27 pm
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 500,000 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. i 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,
6:28 pm
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.

they've become unlikely online stars thanks to their antics on nestcams, and now it's hoped the popularity of four owls in somerset in south—west england will help promote conservation. barn owl numbers in the area are in decline, and there's been a call forfarmers to install more nest boxes. as scott ellis reports, it now seems to be paying off. just look at the wing of this. you can see it's 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 orla. 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
6:30 pm
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 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 literally are falling 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. a quarter of barn owls end up as roadkill. 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. they just 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
6:31 pm
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. 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. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello again. for many of us, it's been a pretty cloudy day, and the cloud has been thick enough to give some further
6:32 pm
bits and pieces of rain, but nothing like the deluge we've seen over recent days. in odiham, 81mm of rain already this month compared with the average of 48, and much of that has fallen over the last few days alone. today, though, it's been a different picture. it's been rather grey and damp, really, with a bit of drizzle around across the south of england, parts of wales, parts of the midlands, parts of east anglia, from this slow—moving weather front here. we've had another front moving its way into scotland — that's also been bringing a bit of rain — and between these two systems, there have been a bit of cracks in the cloud. a bit of sunshine, for example, in northwest wales. we've had some bright skies at times in northwest england and northern ireland as well. overnight tonight, we'll see this band of rain slowly push its way southwards into northern areas of england. meanwhile, in the south, it will stay cloudy, some mist and hill fog patches around, drizzle, and then more heavier bursts of rain developing towards the end of the night. temperatures about 10—13 degrees for most of us. now, tomorrow, there is this area of rain that's going to be pushing
6:33 pm
into southern england. it's going to march northwards, but some uncertainty exactly how far north it will get in east anglia and the midlands, but there is the threat of some rain. bit of rain for the far north of england, brighter skies between these two systems, but it's scotland and northern ireland that will have the best of the day's sunshine. temperatures for these areas up to 18 degrees. now, tuesday sees a ridge of high pressure build in ahead of the next weather system. it means that, for many of us, tuesday will be a bright day. settled, spells of sunshine, a bit of cloud developing through the afternoon but not a bad kind of day. later in the afternoon, we will see some thicker cloud edge towards northern ireland and western scotland, and we end the day on a damp note here. temperatures generally high teens to low 20s. where the sunshine does break through the cloud, it should feel quite pleasant. wednesday, more sunshine for england and wales, but it's starting to turn much cloudier further northwest. a weak weather fronts moving in, bringing thicker cloud, patches of rain. most of the rain will be pretty light and not everyone will see the rain. as i say, it is going to be patchy in nature.
6:34 pm
temperatures at the highest across southern areas, up to 21 degrees or so. now, towards the end of the week, the rain across scotland and northern ireland will slowly push towards england and wales, then it might become drier and sunnier into next weekend. that's your weather.
6:35 pm
a top scientific adviser says there may be "alternatives to isolation" and quarantine for people who have been double—vaccinated. it comes as england's youngest adults — aged 18—20 — are being offered theirfirstjab. i'm excited, and excited to get back to normal things at some point in the near future. the fact that we've managed to work the whole way through the age groups, and now it's down to people of 18, shows the _ success it's had nationally. we'll have the latest on the vaccine roll—out. also on the programme: a bitter—sweet harvest on copacabana beach — roses to remember — as brazil records half a million coronavirus deaths.
6:36 pm
the post office makes payouts to hundreds of victims over the horizon computer scandal, but many more are still waiting. and down but not out — wales losing to italy in rome, but their euro 2020 campaign is not in ruins yet. good evening. a leading scientific advisor has suggested that people who have been double—vaccinated could face fewer restrictions. dr susan hopkins of public health england told the bbc that might include the possibility of them not having to self—isolate or quarantine. ministers are aiming to have two thirds of the adult population double—jabbed by the new unlocking date ofjuly the 19th.
6:37 pm
here's our health correspondent anna collinson. all adults in england can now receive a coronavirus vaccine, and demand is high. nhs england says more than 700,000 appointments were booked on the first day over 18s became eligible. over the weekend, football stadiums, including here in tottenham, have transformed into large vaccination centres. and these long queues of people will be a heart—warming site for health officials who say the more people who are jabbed, the sooner our freedom can return. ben, you're 18 and you've travelled over an hour to be here today — why? because getting vaccinated is so important. i mean, it will reduce hospital admissions, and it'll make me a lot happier to see my parents. especially going to university in september, we are hoping that we can have a normal life. i'm expecting that by the end i of the year, for people who are vaccinated, borders will be much, it will be easier to cross borders. i i'll be able to go back to india, meet my parents, go back to. singapore, meet my friends.
6:38 pm
all adults in wales and northern ireland can also book a vaccine. so can over 18s in glasgow. but for the rest of scotland, people need to be over 30. this comes as a trial is looking to see if people who are fully vaccinated can avoid self isolating if a close contact tests positive. they would instead take daily tests. we are moving steps forward, and i think that in the time in the future, i'm not sure when, at a time in the future, i can imagine the situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have two doses of the vaccine. alternatives to isolation could also open up foreign travel, which would help the uk's struggling aviation industry. ministers say they are trying to be as flexible as possible. well, of course, there is frustration. all of us want to have a holiday in the sun wherever possible, but we are right as well to balance that with the need to control variants of concern. scientists advised we should holiday at home this summer, but from tomorrow, the scottish government is
6:39 pm
introducing a travel ban to and from parts of greater manchester amid concerns about high infection rates, a move that has angered the mayor. i'll be writing to the first minister today. i'll be asking for compensation for the individuals who might lose holidays, and the businesses who might lose bookings. you know, why will 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's completely disproportionate. this pop—up vaccination site in halifax is hoping to curb rising cases. are you allergic to anything? so far, 59% of adults have received two doses. the government wants this to have risen beyond 66% by july the 19th, in the hope complete unlocking can follow. anna collinson, bbc news. our political correspondent damian grammaticas is with me 110w. damian, as more of us get the second jab, the calls to ease restrictions are only going to grow.
6:40 pm
yes, and you heard andy burnham say it there, mps have been saying it, people at home are thinking that. they have been double vaccinated, can they have more latitude to do things? we also know that the government is looking at this, it is interested, so there is that study thatis interested, so there is that study that is now happening to see whether people who are double vaccinated might need not to do quarantine or isolation if they have come into contact with someone who has covid or symptoms. we also know they are looking will look at companies delete by countries like israel to see if travel can be opened up because of that. remember, the key thing is the number of people who have been double vaccinated, and thatis have been double vaccinated, and that is why the easing of restrictions was pushed back already. that number needs to go up. they need to see the results of those studies to see whether double vaccination reduces the risks of transmission, work out how to do this at borders. there is a lot of detail to be worked through, so this isn't going to happen soon, but it
6:41 pm
isn't going to happen soon, but it is all about when we get beyond the restrictions, how we live with the virus and what measures we still needin virus and what measures we still need in place. virus and what measures we still need in place-— virus and what measures we still need in lace. ., , ., the latest government figures show that, in the past 24 hours, six deaths were reported — and 9,284 new infections were recorded. that means an average of 9,365 new cases per day in the last week. over 280,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 24 hour period. nearly 43 million people have now had theirfirstjab. that's around 82% of uk adults. 236,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24 hour period. over 31.3 million people have now had both doses — that's 59.5 % of uk adults. 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 2000 people have died of covid there in the past day alone.
6:42 pm
it's led to protests this weekend at president bolsonaro's approach — he refuses to back measures like social distancing. angus crawford reports. on a beach where rio normally comes to play, a bleak memorial — 500 flowers to mark 500,000 deaths. and across this country still, the graveyards receive more of covid's victims. is it any wonder? look at the crowded trains. no social distancing here. but many blame the government for allowing the virus to spread. hoping for so—called herd immunity. and as the number of deaths grows, so does the angen 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. i herd immunity won't do any good.
6:43 pm
the only immunity you can get is with the vaccine. there is no other way. i've lost many friends, almost lost a cousin. millions of people are orphans, fatherless, motherless and childless. there are protests across brazil. the banner reads, bolsonaro out. he's the president who once called covid the little flu, and they blame him for what's happening but in a tweet, the country's health minister insisted he was working tirelessly to vaccinate all brazilians in the shortest time possible. saving lives and stopping the health system being overwhelmed, two key priorities. but the vaccination campaign seems to be stuttering. 29% of the population given a first dose, only 11% a second. and so, they march in their thousands, against what they see as government incompetence, calling
6:44 pm
for their president to be impeached. this health emergency may soon become a political crisis. angus crawford, bbc news. here, mcdonald's has announced it's recruiting 20,000 more staff across the uk and ireland. the fast food chain says the new staff will not replace thejobs lost throughout the pandemic, but are additional roles as a result of plans to open more than 50 new restaurants, over the next year. the former speaker of the house of commons and ex—tory mp john bercow has been defending his decision to join the labour party. during his time as speaker, mr bercow made controversial decisions over the passage of brexit—related legislation, 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 the legacy of these claims — but does admit some regrets
6:45 pm
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 done something differently? of course, i couldn't, but i come back to the central proposition one has 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. the bbc has learned that the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters and mistresses who were victims of the faulty horizon computer system. an it fault made it look as if money had gone missing from post office accounts. a number of staff were prosecuted, with their convictions later quashed, others suffered financial ruin or gave up their businesses. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been hearing about the impact on three generations of one family. when we came here, this used to be a post office.

high teens to low 20s. where the sunshine does break through the cloud, it should feel quite pleasant. wednesday, more sunshine for england and wales, but it's starting to turn much cloudier further northwest. weak weather fronts moving in, bringing thicker cloud, patches of rain. most of the rain will be pretty light and not everyone will see the rain. as i say, it is going to be patchy in nature. temperatures at the highest across southern areas, up to 21 degrees or so. now, towards the end of the week, the rain across scotland and northern ireland will slowly push towards england and wales, then it might become drier and sunnier into next weekend. that's your weather.
