state of 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 can see where the west weather is. some heavier burst, a north—easterly breeze, not looking good for the cricket at southampton. cloud in the wale midlands but it is light rain and drizzle. parts of northern england will brighten up but most of the sunshine is in scotland and northern ireland, a few passing showers in the highlands bus this is a northerly breeze. it is not as warm as it could be, but where you have the cloud i2 not as warm as it could be, but where you have the cloud 12 degrees this afternoon. still rain in parts of england and wales getting into tonight. confined to south—east england by the end of the night and else we are under clear skies it will be chilly for the time of year. parts of scotland will be near to freezing tomorrow morning, there may be a touch of frost. sunshine to start the day. cloud in south—east england. patchy rain clearing away, for many though it is going to be a day of sunny spells, it will feel

warmer, look, north—west scotland cloud increasing through the day, we will see rain moving in here. it will see rain moving in here. it will feel cooler where you have the rain. this from the next weather system coming from the north. very closely it will —— slowsly it will move further south. wednesday it has its clouds in scotland and northern ireland, patchy rain. low clouds, misty rounds the hills. clout increasing but wednesday seeing warmer sunshine with temperatures into the low 20s. so it is a versele for the rest of the week of what we have now. if you are starting with rain, the rest of the week turns drier. if you are starting with sunshine it doesn't get cooler but it will be cloudier and the chance of rain, becoming mainly dry over the weekend. i mentioned the summer solstice, head to the website to find out what

that really is and a severe heat wave in the usa. a reminder of our top story... an inquiry is about to hear from pupils and parents of a school, where over 120 children were caught up in what's been called the worst treatment disaster in nhs history. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, good afternoon. it's just after 1.30pm, and this is your latest sports news. there's been a huge blow for scotland at the european championship — midfielder billy gilmour has tested positive for covid—i9 and he'll miss their final group game against croatia tomorrow, former scotland winger pat nevin said he'll be a big loss, after the impact he had against england but the squad will have to adapt. he actually was pretty special. he

is much more confident when he is on the pitch. let's hope he is ok stop no illness, that is more important than anything else. scotland fans will think, they will have to rejig it again, but mctominay back into midfield. it was not very successful against the czech republic. you have to think and who has he been mixing with? will we get news that he has been mixing close by others. it is not good news for scotland. england have released a statement confirming all 26 players and the wider support team returned negative results after the latest round of testing on sunday. they've been training this morning, ahead of tomorrow night's game against the czech republic at wembley. england are second in the table, on four points and just behind the czechs on goal difference. they'll certainly be looking

for more intensity than they showed in the goalless draw with scotland. wales have a few days before their next game, after they made it through to the last 16. they play on saturday in amsterdam and they'll find out tonight who they'll be up against. they lost 1—0 to italy in theirfinal group game in rome but that, as well as their previous results, meant they still took second place, finishing above switzerland on goal difference. former wales striker iwan roberts believes they can go further. if we can play like we did against turkey, that first half, it is as good a 45 minutes that i have seen since france in 2016. if we can reproduce that, we can go a long way and maybe get to another quarterfinal. a little bit of luck. you never know, maybe a semifinal again. john rahm is back on top of golf�*s world rankings after winning his first major, the us open at torrey pines in california. he emerged from a congested leaderboard with birdies at the last two holes in a final round of 67, to win by a single shot

from louis oosthuizen. he's the first spanish player to lift the us open — and he's clearly at home on the course — he won his first pga title there in 2017. i've got close before, and ijust knew on sunday, the way i had been playing on a sunday in the last year majors, i had to be close again. i knew i could get it done. i am keeping the sunday mojo going. i got it done in a fashion that could only happen to me here. up to 10,000 spectators will be allowed at each venue for the tokyo olympics, which start injust over a month's time. organisers have set the limit at 50% capacity and the same will apply to the paralympics. ticket—holders will be required to wear masks and they'll be asked to refrain from shouting, but they won't have to show evidence of a negative coronavirus test. further restrictions will be considered if the situation surrounding the pandemic changes. friday 5 super league game between hull kr and st helens has been postponed,

after three move rovers players tested positive for covid—19 over the weekend. that follows two cases last week, and nine others have been forced to self—isolate. training has been postponed until wednesday, when another round of pcr testing will be carried out. it's the fourth fixture to be lost to the pandemic this season. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website... the prime minister has been speaking this lunchtime about whether people who have had both doses of a covid vaccine will be able to avoid self—isolation, and if that will make foreign travel easier. he's also said the date of 19thjuly is still �*looking good' to lift restrictions in england. let's have a listen. i think it's very important that we look at the opportunities for all of us over the coming months, from two jabs, we're one of the most vaccinated countries in the world now. i think if you look at today,

everybody over 50 should have been offered their second jab by now, actually, everybody was vulnerable, the 1—9 groups, almost 60% of adults have had two jabs, so there is a great deal of potential there, but when it comes to travel, we will certainly be looking at that, but i want to stress that this is going to be whatever happens, a difficult year for travel. there will be hassle, there will be delays, i'm afraid, because the priority has got to be to keep the country safe and to stop the virus coming back in. no guarantees of exemption from quarantine for travellers who are double jabbed? we are looking at it. i want to stress that the emphasis is going to be on making sure that we can protect the country from the virus coming back in. the pensions triple lock, are you planning to ditch that to help pay for a covid recovery?

i'm reading all sorts of stuff at the moment. i don't reognise at all about the government's plans. what we are doing, the single most important thing for the economy and paying for the recovery is to ensure that we continue cautiously but irreversibly to unlock and get the economy moving again. that is the priority of the government and we are working very hard on that. at the moment it still looks to me as thouthuly the 19th is a terminus point and you can see what is happening already. we are seeing employment up, jobs up, we are seeing vacancies up. we have got a lot of demand and we want to get things moving as fast as we possibly can but in a sustainable way. on that, you have been very clear. you want the unlocking

injuly to be irreversible. your science advisers are saying there is always a possibility this winter we might see a surge and we might need to lockdown again. will you rule out the potential for future lockdowns potentially as early as this winter because of changes in the pandemic? i think you can never exclude there will be some new disease, some new horror we have not budgeted for or accounted for. looking at where we are, the efficacy of the vaccines against all variants we can currently see, so alpha, delta, the lot of them, i think it is looking good forjuly the 19th to be that terminus point. what scientists are saying is things like flu will come back this winter. we may have a rough winter for all sorts of reasons. there are big pressures on the nhs. all the more reason to reduce

the number of covid cases now and give the nhs the breathing space it needs to get on with dealing with all of those other pressures and we will be putting in the investment to make sure they can. let's get more now on the news that from today, care home residents in england will be able to stay overnight at the homes of loved ones, as restrictions on visiting are eased. previously, residents were only allowed to leave for outdoor visits or medical appointments, but they're now able to leave for more sociable reasons without having to isolate on their return. earlier victoria derbyshire spoke with three people at rowena house care home in doncaster — manager stacey dean, one of her residents, janetjohnson — and janet's daughter, cath. it has been fine. i have no objections. it'sjust nicer to be home. anybody is happy to be home, aren't they? absolutely. cath, how are you feeling about having your mum able to stay?

i am delighted. it has been lovely having her home for garden visits but to have her home overnight, it will be even better. it's a bit of normality coming back to our lives. definitely. are you planning any trips away? are you able to go on holiday somewhere with your mum in this country? oh, yeah, definitely. we've got a holiday home in thirsk in north yorkshire. mother has never seen it. we're planning on taking her there for a night or two as well. that sounds lovely, absolutely lovely. let's hope the weather holds out for you, janet, in north yorkshire. even if it doesn't, you'll be with your family, so that will be lovely, won't it? yes, it will. stacey, how much difference do think it will make to your residents? massive difference. their well—being is our priority. we need to encourage all families to do so. i just to see them smiling is amazing. why have you been able to do this? the residents are double jabbed,

what about the staff? the majority of staff have - had their second vaccinations. by the end of summer, - the full home will be vaccinated. obviously, the national guidelines are easing so it has given chancesj to spend more time with loved ones. whenjanet goes round to cath�*s house since stays overnight, do you still have to do risk assessments or not? we have risk assessments - to complete, they will still have to have lfts and pcr tests. they will have to be - completed and managed. how has it been for you being manager of the car home through a pandemic? it has been difficult - and difficult for any manager having to live through. the staff here are so positive, they get through each day - and we all cheer each other on. we work as a team. it's got a good, positive vibe.

we do daily de—briefs and that helps them to get through the day. - what kinds of activities have people like stacey put on for you and your fellow residents? activities? what i like is going out into the garden. right. to do a bit of weeding. you are able to do gardening for the home, are you? they have allowed me to. did you go to the cocktail party they organised last week? was i there? yes, you did, yes. my memory is terrible. don't worry. so is mine. there are pictures of her doing so on social media, so we know she did it. fair enough. can you remember if you had any cocktails? yes. as long as there are no other follow—up questions.

that is the kind of thing you normally do pandemic or no pandemic. you put on those fantastic activities for people who live there. yeah, we do. there is always something going off in the home. got something zoom, where we linkup with other homes. there's always something going off. we've got mardi gras weekend planned on the 17th ofjuly, so that is something else happening we decorate for and are looking forward to. yes. am i right in thinking you went into the home at the beginning of lockdown, is that right? i couldn't tell you when i came in. she came here on the day of the first lockdown, so mother has never known what it was like to be in pre—covid days in a care home. this is marvellous for her because now things are starting to open up again. she's starting to get some normality

back into her care home experience. sure. what would you say it has been like for notjust your mum being in the home during the pandemic but also yourself and the rest of the family? it has been extremely difficult because our family circumstances are that i have two brothers, one of whom is abroad. he hasn't been able to see mother at all. the other one is in a rehab hospital. my mother hasn't seen either son for 18 months. it is really difficult for her. as things start to open up, hopefully we'll be able to visit one of them on the other one will be able to visit her. how old is your mum? there is a reason for asking it. do you know how old you are? 88. yeah. janet, you are looking absolutely amazing, seriously. you look 20 years younger. i look 188.

the headlines on bbc news... a public inquiry hears how children at a hampshire school in the 19705 and 80s were given infected blood products — 72 children lost their lives. the health secretary says plans for a covid boosterjab programme in the autumn will be set out in the next few weeks. scotland midfielder billy gilmour tests positive for covid—19 and will miss the euro 2020 match with croatia tomorrow. today could have spelt the end for the past 15 months of restrictions endured by the hospitality industry in england if all remaining covid restrictions had been lifted. but, as we've been hearing, those measures will now be removed in four weeks' time. nina warhurst has been speaking to bar and restaurant owners in liverpool, to hear how much of a difference that extra month will make you cannot overstate just how significantjune 21st was supposed to be for businesses,

in liverpool, indeed across the country. i want you to look round here, because this will reflect a city or town near you. there is the river mersey, there's the museum of liverpool, there is the travelodge hotel, the hilton hotel, the liverpool1 retail park, the pump house pub, a street food diner, every single one of these businesses will have been impacted in some way by the four—week delay, so multiply that by every town and city in the country and you get a sense ofjust how significant this delay is. let's look at some the numbers then. so, it is estimated that 73% of bars, so nearly three—quarters haven't been able to open at all because of restrictions round social distancing, for example. the cost of extending, for hospitality, simply for the four week window, that's estimated revenue is down by nearly £3 billion collectively, and the estimate is that that puts another 300,000 jobs at risk, because of that reduction of revenue

into hospitality venues. and there is loads of museums round here, it is a fascinating part of the world. steeped with history but all of these places are seeing reduced capacity. people can't go in and touch and sense things properly so they are down to a third of normal capacity, it is huge, so it is notjust the museums it is things like the gift shops and cafes and james is a man who knows about the reduction in hospitality. he runs three restaurants. wonderful they are too. thank you. tell me, when you heard about the four—week extra delay, what does that mean in terms of numbers? there is two elements, the first is the numbers so you look at about 20—25% of the forecasted revenue for the next four weeks, er, will be lost. which is the first impact but the second impace is the confidence. so as soon as the announcement comes out, what we see is a drop in confidence, the numbers

will drop immediately. is that literally noticeable overnight? overnight. as soon as the prime minister comes on television and delivers news about the lockdowns, we see a drop in revenue almost immediately. and you are also, sort of battling with the test and trace app, aren't you? it's wonderful. in one way it protects the public but in another, one person goes down the whole restaurant is shut? yes, we are starting to see big issues in liverpool, in manchester a lot of my friends have had to close restaurants in the last couple of weeks and it is starting to creep into liverpool as well. which makes it operationally very difficult for us. let me ask you this, do you think the government understands what is it is like to be close to opening and then pull the plug? well, i don't think they possibly can. there is a perception you can lock the door and come back and re—open, and everything is as you left it, but, it takes a lot of time to prep

the food, to get your supply chain back up and running, and there is a big issue with the supply chain, they struggle just as much as us. it is not a tap you can turn on and off, so yes, a lot of struggles there. ramping up and stopping costs money, doesn't it? good luck. i know you are opening up a pub as well in the coming days. you've got a lot on your plate. there is increasing outrage from people like james that yes, the extension has happened but there hasn't been an extension of all the support people are saying should have happened. but the cbi, the confederation of british industry, say that the economy is set to grow by 8% this year, so higher than initial estimates. they say there is a lot of pent up spend ready to come out but some businesses are saying that will not get them over the hump and, inevitably, in the next four weeks, morejob will go. the us navy has started a series of tests on its newest and most advanced aircraft carrier by detonating powerful explosions to determine whether the ship is ready for war. take a look at this.

a 40,000 pound explosion was detonated as part of a test called full ship shock trials to assess if the carrier, the uss gerald r ford, can withstand battle conditions. the us geological survey registered the explosion as a 3.9 magnitude earthquake. following the trials, the ship will return to dry dock to undergo modernisation, maintenance and repairs. a much—anticipated declassified report on ufos is due to be delivered to the united states congress by the end of the month. leaked information says no evidence of alien activity was found, but didn t rule it out either. the report is the product of a military task force established last year to investigate decades of unexplained aerial sightings in us airspace. sophie long reports. my gosh! they're all going against the wind, the winds 120 knots west. an encounter between a us navy fighterjet and an unidentified flying object —

or what the pentagon prefers to call an "unidentified aerial phenomenon". look at that thing! it's rotating! lieutenant commander alex dietrich was an operational fighter pilot for ten years. she was with three other pilots on a routine training flight when they witnessed an unidentified object in the skies off the coast of southern california — now known as tic—tac, due to its resemblance to the mints. it was travelling very fast and very erratically, and we couldn't anticipate which way it was going to turn, or couldn't understand how it was manoeuvring the way that it was or the propulsion system. this official footage from the us department of defense, published for the first time in 2017, totally changed the debate surrounding ufos.

reports of strange objects in the sky that were once ridiculed are now seen as having potentially serious national security implications. leslie kean, who broke that story, says the stigma attached was intentional. there was actual sort of a policy to use ridicule to kind of damp the whole thing down — that goes back to the �*50s, and it became just part of a culture and since then, we were just kind of left with this attitude of ridicule and the culture, and we weren't hearing anything about it from our government. not only was that damaging to witnesses but also — say some who spent years working inside the pentagon — to security. this is a mammoth intelligence failure. we haven't suffered the consequences we did in pearl harbor and 9—11, but the problems are precisely the same. you had a radar operator seeing japanese bombers and fighters approaching, he didn't report it to anybody, the information didn't get up the chain. 9/11, we had cia and fbi not talking and not sharing information. in this case it's worse — we've got more like ten agencies not

talking and sharing information. we travelled to area 51, a military base deep in the nevada desert, which — like what the us government knows about ufos — is shrouded in secrecy. some believe — though have no evidence — that a ufo is being reverse—engineered behind the gates few have clearance to enter. those who've been mocked for monitoring the skies here, convinced we are not alone, now feel vindicated. the ufo community has been seeking disclosure for 50—plus years or more, and i think this is a good step forward for the ufo community, for the government to acknowledge the existence of the phenomenon, and let people know that there's something going on out there on a regular basis. whatever its conclusions, for many, publication of the report alone marks an important milestone on the path to understanding these unexplained encounters. sophie long, bbc news,

in the nevada desert. now it's time for a look at the weather with nick miller. it may be the summer solstice but no guarantee of summer—like weather. in scotland, we had the most daylight hours. there is some sunshine, maybe a passing shower in the highlands. in the midlands more rain to add to the growing total. an area of high pressure nudged across scotland and northern ireland where we will see most of the summer solstice sunshine today. a passing shower in the highlands. passing rain and drizzle passing further south. the heaviest rain sitting across southern england, southern parts of east anglia. temperatures struggling, around 12 celsius as a high today. even in the sunshine we are talking high teens.

not particularly warm in the wind direction by even when you have the blue sky. outbreaks of rain this evening and tonight. elsewhere dry or becoming dry. in scotland, some spots in the highlands may end close to freezing with a touch of frost going into tuesday morning. for many a dry day with sunny spells. light rain and drizzle still lingering in the far south—east of england, clearing away into the afternoon. cloud increasing in north—west scotland and northern ireland. we will get outbreaks of rain moving in. where there are sunny spells, it will be warmer compared with today. here is the next weather system. this one coming in from the north—west, meaning scotland and northern ireland will see some rain stop missed on the hills and coast. much of southern england, the midlands and into east anglia

will stay dry with some sunshine that this is where we will see the highest temperatures on wednesday. basically, a reversal of what we have now. if you start the week with rain, it will turn brighter, warmer and drier. if you start with sunshine, you can expect more cloud and some rain at times.

this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. the headlines... a public inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal hears how dozens of pupils at a school for disabled children died, after being given infected blood products to treat them for haemophilia. went round the room, said "who's positive?" "you have, you haven't, you have, you haven't, you have." and it was difficult, and... ..i was back in science by 1.50. 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. meanwhile, the prime minister says that it is "looking good"

for the lifting of restrictions in england to go ahead onjuly19th.
