good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. a public inquiry into how tens of thousands of people were given infected blood products by the nhs in the 1970s and �*80s will hear today from former pupils and parents at a school in hampshire where at least 72 students died. more than 120 pupils at treloar�*s college, a school for disabled children, were caught up in what has been called the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. from 1974 to 1987, the children were offered treatment for haemophilia, but batches of the drug given to treat them were contaminated with hiv and viral hepatitis. 0ur health correspondent jim reed reports. it was huge, amazing place, beautiful. to come here as an eight—year—old, it gave freedom, total freedom. deep in the english countryside,

treloar�*s is still a boarding school for children with physical disabilities. a0 years ago, it was home to boys with the blood disorder haemophilia. in the 1970s and �*80s, more than 120 young haemophiliacs were taught here. of that group, at least 72 lost their lives because of the blood treatments they were given. now a public inquiry is going to look in detail at what happened at the school in hampshire. half a century on, ade, richard and steve have returned here. as students, they were given a brand—new drug at the nhs centre on this site. freeze—dried concentrate was sold to us as a miracle, we were told, if you take this, you will be able to live a normal life, you will be able to play football, ride a bike. but we were never told the risks. in the 1980s, that drug, known as factor viii/ix, was often imported from the united states. some of the plasma used to make it

was contaminated with hepatitis and later hiv. at just 15 years old, ade was part of a group of boys at the school taken aside and told he was hiv positive. a doctor went round the room and said whose positive. "you have, you haven't, you have, you haven't, you have." and it was difficult and... ..and i was back in science by ten to two. i didn't even get the afternoon off. my friend went outside and literally went to the horticulture department, picked up a pot and threw it against the haemophilia centre wall. in 1983, hiv—aids was notjust untreatable — those infected also had to deal with the stigma of the disease. alec macpherson was the head teacher at the time. now 86 years old, he has agreed to give evidence at the public inquiry this week.

it caused them a lot of anxiety, a lot of upset, and it built a rage inside them against, you know, "why me, why has this happened to me, and why have i got this dreadful thing?" out of the 122 haemophiliacs who went to the school at the time, just 32 are known to be alive today. but when we come back to this wonderful school and... you know, we just lost so many people. we all ask ourselves, "why me?" "why are we still here?" a series of hearings focused on the school are taking place this week as part of the wider inquiry into the use of infected blood products. former pupils and their families want to know if more could have been done to protect the young boys involved. jim reed, bbc news. we can speak tojim now. some harrowing stories there. what exactly is this inquiry aiming to find out? this focus on the school this week

as part of a wider inquiry that has already been running for two years into the use of contaminated blood products, thought to have killed perhaps as many as 10,000, something even more people across the uk. so this week they are specifically looking at the case of that school, treloar�*s, and we had opening comments from the lead counsel to the inquiry, say they will look into the inquiry, say they will look into the treatments used at the school, importantly what information was provided to parents and children as, in her words, she said commonly no such information was provided, and also, interestingly, the extent to which any research was being undertaken at the school and whether it was, in her words, any driver to the treatments being received. so they will hear from six surviving pupils, some are giving evidence anonymously, and we will hear from a parent of two boys who both attended treloar�*s, were infected with hiv and very sadly lost their lives. it is important to say that what

happened at the school itself, a lot of the treatment was taking place at the haemophilia centre on the site, which was run by the nhs, not the school staff. so we won't hear from any of the clinicians involved, we learned today, because all have now lost their lives, they are dead. qm. lost their lives, they are dead. 0k, jim. thank— lost their lives, they are dead. 0k, jim. thank you. — lost their lives, they are dead. 0k, jim, thank you, our _ lost their lives, they are dead. 0k, jim, thank you, our correspondents jim, thank you, our correspondents jim reed there. doctors and nhs trusts have warned ministers that they need to start planning now if they want to roll out a covid vaccine booster programme in the autumn. they want to know whether the vaccines need to be tweaked because of new covid variants and whether to combine them with flu jabs. the health secretary, matt hancock, has said that plans will be set out in the next few weeks. dominic hughes reports. more than a million vaccination appointments booked injust 20 days, opening upjabs to appointments booked injust 20 days, opening up jabs to the over 18s appointments booked injust 20 days, opening upjabs to the over 18s in england has proved popular. this hall in halifax, normally eight live music venue, over the weekend transformed into a busy public

he had no warning of it, and he says it is hypocrisy on the part of nicola sturgeon, because she sometimes complains that the uk government doesn't consult with scotland, and here she is, according to him, not consulting with him. nicola sturgeon's response to that, essentially, she claims that andy burnham is playing political games, trying to boost his public profile with this row with the leader of the scottish government. she says that, in fact, there was a travel ban imposed on bolton, which is part of greater manchester, back in may, and andy burnham didn't complain about that. sometimes, she says, it is the case that with this fast—moving situation, the way that the virus can flare up in particular locations, decisions have to be made very swiftly and i guess sometimes without consultation that would otherwise happen.— without consultation that would otherwise happen. without consultation that would otherwise ha en. , ., , . ~' ,, scotland's billy gilmour has tested positive for covid and will miss the team's crucial euro 2020 match with croatia tomorrow. the side need to win to have any

hope of progressing to the next round of the tournament. 0ur sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin is in hampden. is it a surprise that it's only billy gilmour that's having to self—isolate? yeah, it is, and at this stage, reeta, it's a stark reminder that amidst all the excitement, the colour and the hype of euro 2020, this is still an event being played out in the middle of a global pandemic. now, players are tested daily, billy gilmour�*s positive test came back this morning, and you are right, no other scotland players at this stage have tested positive. concerns, of course, also in the england camp, given that they played against scotland at wembley on friday. the news is that all of the england players have also tested negative. now, scottish fa officials are in consultation with public health england. at this stage, no

other close contacts to billy gilmour have been identified. that means no other players will have to self—isolate at this stage. that may change, but that is certainly the situation at the moment. the scotland squad make their way up from their training base in darlington in the next hour or so, billy gilmour will remain back there, but it is a huge blow for scotland. he was man of the match in his competitive debut for scotland in that game against england at wembley on friday night, he would have also been absolutely a first starter for steve clarke in a game here, as you said tomorrow night, scotland need to win to stand any chance of progressing. coloured thanks very much, chris. new flexible rail season tickets have gone on sale, aimed at people who only need to commute two or three times a week. people are working from home more often because of the pandemic, meaning traditional season tickets no longer represent good value. the changes are part of the government's planned shake—up of rail services,

as katie prescott reports. staring at a departures board is no longer a daily chore for many. even before covid, the number of passengers using season tickets was falling, as more people went part—time, or worked from home. now that train has left the station. it's a bit of a hybrid, i think, and that's going to continue, i think. it's going to be 50—50. i mean, i've worked from home for probably eight years now. largely, anyway. so, i think it's, there's going to be an upturn in working from home, 100% definitely. covid has shown us that we can work from home, but i think probably three days a week, maybe two days from home will be the norm going forward. the change in the way we commute, how and if we need to commute at all, has been transformed by the pandemic. the aim of these new tickets is to give part—time passengers access to the same savings and benefits as regular weekly commuters, butjust paying for the days they travel. recognition by the train companies that flexible working is here to stay.

the new tickets will allow passengers in england to travel on any eight days in a 28 day period, or twice a week. it will be a paperless system, allowing travellers to tap smart cards or scan their mobiles at the station, and passengers won't need to choose the days they travel in advance. but passenger groups say people still need to be careful which tickets they buy. the flexible season tickets that go on sale today will be good news for some, but not for all, so it's important that people use the calculator that is being put on to the national rail enquiries website. it may be the traditional season ticket is still better value so it's great there still remains both options. the rail companies would like to see government change the rules underpinning the ticket system to make them even more flexible in future. as people start to return to the office after the pandemic, we know they will travel differently, two or three days at home, two or three days

a week in the office, and these new flexible season tickets will mean they can save money while working like that. but as train companies, we want to go even further and totally reform the fare system, so that people can have tap in and tap out technology and commuters all across the country benefit from that, and instead of having to buy a ticket up front and know their plans in advance. this is just the first step in major reforms of the railways announced last month. you can start using the new tickets a week monday. katie prescott, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime. a public inquiry is preparing to hear from students and parents of a school for disabled children, where more than 120 pupils were caught up in what has been called the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. and up to 10,000 spectators will be allowed into stadiums for the olympics in tokyo, despite fears over covid. coming up on the bbc news channel. a blow for scotland, with news of billy gilmore

missing their final euro 2020 group game against croatia, after testing positive for covid. it's a must win match for them if they are to make the next round. as you heard earlier, more than a million people in england booked covid jabs on friday and saturday, after the nhs opened its vaccination programme to all adults. in december, 91—year—old margaret keenan became the first person in the world to receive a vaccine outside clinical trials. she's urged others to get a jab, and is still friends with the nurse who administered hers. they've both been talking to the bbc�*s dan walker. the world famous maggie keenan, lovely to see you. lovely to see you as well. here you are on the wall of the hospital as well. i can't believe it sometimes, you know. at the time, did it feel as momentous, as important as it does probably looking back now. oh, yes, it did.

it did feel very important to have it done. and you're quite famous now, maggie. it's lovely that people are happy for me, you know. so come with us. maggie may. yes, maggie may. where's rod stewart when you need him? exactly, i don't know. we're waiting for him to come. you've got this, you know, this beautiful bond now, which is not only between you two but i suppose between everybody who watched that day. that's true, yes, that's true. it's nice, because i think now we're a family now. so we've like bonded with that one, and i think it is really nice to see family who you haven't seen for so long. it is, it is. it was a sort of private moment that happened in a room in this hospital, but it was also something millions of people watched on tv. i think it is fair to say, maggie, it gave hope to so many people as well. this was the whole meaning. this was the whole meaning, i said a thousand times over, you know, i hoped that it has got the ball rolling. this wonderful injection has

been offered to them. that was kind of something monumental for me in my career, because i've never been in the limelight. i think it's a really big responsibility from my side, to actually represent the nurses, the doctors, the health care workers that work in the nhs, that we do a lot great things that we don't kind of normally shout about. in terms of the international interest after that jab back in december, what has that been like for both of you. like for both of you? do you talk about that? i had a letterfrom somebody, which i thought was really lovely. the words she has written at the bottom of letter was, "what a courageous lady", and that was just it. and i thought, well, you know, she thought i've done something really good, i didn'tjust do it for me, why would i do it for me? i did it for everybody around. both of you will know there will be peopel watching this, thinking "that's great, but i don't want to have the jab." do you have a message for them,

who might be seeing this? oh, yes, yes, yes. whatever you said or thought before, please do have the jab. there's nothing to it. don't be afraid of a needle just to save your life and to save other�*s lives. please have it done. the people we are getting in the hospital recently, that are hospitalised are not vaccinated, and i think we need to be able to tell those people that are deciding otherwise, to kind of consider and reconsider what they're kind of taking on and the decisions, what is going to happen because of they decision. i didn't realise you were a bit of a nhs pioneer. because, is this right, you were one of the first people to get the bcg jab for tb back in the 1950s as well? yes, yes, they sort of picked me, i don't know why. there must be something about me. i mean, you're 91 one now, still going strong, i mean, you're 91 now, still going strong, what are your plans for...? oh dear, i don't plan too far in the future, dan, not what i'm going to do next year or anything. ijust take it as it comes and enjoy every day, really, you know. can i say, it's been a real pleasure to speak to you both.

i remember presenting on that day, watching you, felt like a really big step forward for everybody in the united kingdom, and around the world as well, so to sit here and talk to you now today, a few months on and seeing you both doing so well is fantastic. thank you. it's been a pleasure. it's my pleasure. it is nice to chat. it's my pleasure. sirjeffrey donaldson is expected to announce he's standing for the leadership of the democratic unionist party. the dup's choice of leader will be crucial in deciding who is first minister at stormont. let's speak to our correspondent, danjohnson. this is about the leadership of the dup, but also about the devolved government at stormont? ansley, yes, everybody is talking about sirjeffrey donaldson, expected to become the new dup leader, except sirjeffrey donaldson, he has not announced it yet. nominations close at midday tomorrow so we will see who is throwing their hat in the ring but the complication is when sirjeffrey

donaldson stood for the leadership last time, five weeks ago he said he also wanted to be first minister here, leading the northern ireland executive at stormont, but he is an mp. he isn't a member here so that would require resigning his seat at westminster, getting co—opted into the assembly here in northern ireland, and replacing paul givan who only took the job hereby last week, that could open up an opportunity for more political disagreement, because the problem edwin poots, the previous dup leader who stepped down last week after only three weeks in the job faced was he couldn't keep onside sinn fein to get his person in office here and his own party, that is why here and his own party, that is why he faced that rebellion, this is over laws to enact the irish language here, so if sirjeffrey donaldson is elected as leader, as everyone expected by the end of this week on saturday, that should be completed that is no end to the political wrangling here in northern ireland. there are so many other issues they are facing. the property

coll is a huge issue, so electing sirjeffrey donaldson would be one solution to the mess the dup is in, but there would be a lot of stricky steps thereafter. dan, many thanks. dan, many thanks. back in the spring, official data suggested more than a million people in the uk were suffering from long covid. the symptoms — of breathlessness and fatigue — can persist for months, and leave sufferers unable to return to normal life. but therapists are working to rebuild people's strength, and our correspondent graham satchell has been to one pioneering research and treatment centre, and has sent this report. cheering and applause. whenjocelyn alpas left hospital last year, she had no idea just how long it would take to recover. even just to talk was an effort for me, even just to stand. i was really breathless. very short of breath, even at rest. i was so frail, i was so ill, i was so extremely vulnerable, really.

jocelyn is not alone. this is raj, leaving intensive care. bye, raj. i could not stand, my foot would just drop. there wasn't strength. i could not stand after closing my eyes, everything, body would just shake. doing so well. and done. i never imagined i had to learn to rewalk. good. well done. covid left raj with long lasting problems. damage to the kidney, damage to the heart, neurological damage into my legs. i still have to walk with the walking stick. jocelyn and raj have become friends. they were on the same ward at epsom hospital in surrey. staff at the hospital quickly realised patients would need significant help with so—called long covid. there are now more than a million people in the uk, suffering from long—term aftereffects

of the virus. i've seen it described as the pandemic after the pandemic. i think long covid is an umbrella term for lots of different conditions, ongoing fatigue, breathlessness, lots of impact on patients' mental health. problems with sleep, sometimes cardiac issue, and a whole range of different symptoms. the rehab programme runs for six weeks at a time. they have seen improvements in breastlessness, fatigue, mental health, quality of life. a year after they left hospital, jocelyn and raj are also on the mend. my mum cries every time she speaks with me, because she knows what i have gone through, and it is difficult whenever i talk to them, it is an emotional thing for me, but they have just helped me come out of it. they are my family now. jocelyn is a junior sister at the hospital where she caught covid and eventually became a patient. this programme was set up by her

colleagues in the first place, specifically to help her. i am really proud of being the reason why they set up this covid rehab programme, and after six weeks of rehab, intense exercise, i was able to walk on my own. can you imagine? i was so happy. it's been a long road for raj and jocelyn, some may never fully recover. butjocelyn is now back at work, on the respiratory ward at epsom hospital, once again helping people to fight this virus. graham satchell, bbc news. with many of us turning to online shopping during the pandemic, there's been a huge increase in demand for warehouses to process our orders. latest figures show the amount of warehouse space used by online retailers has grown by more than 600% over the last six years. here's our business correspondent, emma simpson.

when you click the "buy" button online, chances are your purchase will come from here. it's a warehouse city near northampton, and it's about to get even bigger. it's a great location for logistics because over there you can see the m1 motorway. i've been in the sector for nearly 30 years and i've never seen demand like it. we're building buildings speculatively, which means we haven't got a customer lined up, and we're letting them before we finish. that doesn't often happen. and the sheds are getting bigger. this will be royal mail's, new parcel hub. high street shops may be closing, but there is a race for space in logistics. this is the result of our growing appetite for online shopping, and shows just how quickly retail is changing. injust six years, the amount of large warehouse space has risen by 32% — to 566 million square feet. that's like adding nearly 2,400 football pitches. and we're going to need a lot more.

if notjust about online retail. it's about automotive and manufacturing. as we move to electric vehicles, we're going to need battery plants and their supply chain. and as a result of brexit, companies want to store more inventory in the uk. they'll need an army of workers, too — amazon alone is recruiting 10,000 staff this year. asif lost his job at a luxury hotel and has now changed career. the hospitality industry completely shut down. i was fortunate that i got a job and it's very different — it's logistics. before, i was in the hospitality industry. now it's entirely different. but the aim is the same — to look after the customers. warehousing is becoming an ever—bigger part of our economy. we should absolutely see this as part of our national infrastructure. without this, society can't function. they were unfashionable not that long ago, but these big sheds sure are hot property now. emma simpson, bbc news, northamptonshire.

up to 10,000 fans will be allowed into stadiums to watch events at next month's olympics in tokyo. the decision goes against the advice of a panel of experts who called on the organisers to hold the games without spectators present. 0ur correspondent, rupert wingfield—hayes, is in tokyo. rupert, this is a controversial decision then? tt rupert, this is a controversial decision then?— rupert, this is a controversial decision then? , . , decision then? it very much is, we did exnect — decision then? it very much is, we did exnect to _ decision then? it very much is, we did expect to see _ decision then? it very much is, we did expect to see it _ decision then? it very much is, we did expect to see it had _ decision then? it very much is, we did expect to see it had been - decision then? it very much is, we l did expect to see it had been leaked bed and the numbers were adds expected. fans going to the stadiums will be required to wear masks, they are not allowed to cheer. they have been told the clap, go straight to the stadiums and straight home after, so they are trying to mitigate the risk, but they won't be required to have tests or any sort of covid tests before they go in and people will be able to come here to tokyo from all overjapan. experts i have been speaking to say this is a huge risk because they believe that japan is in the first stages of a

fifth wave of covid, the state of emergency has just been lifted. infection rates are rising and they think a new wave could strike tokyo in about a month's time when the olympics are opening and mixing of thepm picks could make that fifth wave even worse.— time for a look at the weather. maybe the summer solstice but that don't get guarantee sunny weather. in scotland we have sunny spells round, in southern england it is cloudy, wet again, more rain adding to the quite high cloudy, wet again, more rain adding to the quite hithune rainfall totals. southern england is close to low pressure but this ridge of high pressure in scotland and northern ireland is giving us the mainly dry weather with sunny spells today. a lot of cloud as you can see this morning so far, in northern england but parts of wales got close to 20 degrees with a bit of hazy sunshine

today. but you
