products infected with hiv were handed effective death sentences and left to tell their parents they weren't expected to survive more than a year or two. the inquiry into how tens of thousands of people were given contaminated blood in the �*70s and �*80s has been hearing harrowing evidence from former pupils who attended a boarding school for physically disabled children in hampshire. from 1974 to 1987, more than 120 children at treloar�*s college were treated for haemophilia, a serious bleeding disorder, by the medical team at an nhs unit on the site. at least 72 children later died — some from the same family — after being given a new drug that was contaminated with hiv and viral hepatitis. across the uk, it's estimated more than 30,000 people were infected by contaminated blood and blood products, and at least 3,000 people died as a result. our health editor hugh pym reports. they are among the survivors but

they have lost at least 72 former schoolmates because of treatment with tainted blood products. up to date some living with hiv and hepatitis c gathered wearing their campaign ties at the enquiry, with a week of evidence ahead of what happened at treloar treloar�*s a couegein happened at treloar treloar�*s a college in hampshire. garyjoined at age ten and was soon being treated for his haemophilia with a blood clotting agent. later, aged 18, he and some others were called in by a doctor and told they had been infected with hiv. he doctor and told they had been infected with hiv.— doctor and told they had been infected with hiv. he said we don't know a lot about _ infected with hiv. he said we don't know a lot about it _ infected with hiv. he said we don't know a lot about it and _ infected with hiv. he said we don't know a lot about it and the - infected with hiv. he said we don't know a lot about it and the outlook is not good, we cannot guarantee that you will be alive in a couple of years and that was it really. treloar�*s college, shown in this 19705 film, was a boarding school with a specialist nhs haemophilia treatment provided at the site. a statement from the school said it was completely supportive of the campaign forjustice by

on. there is particular anger amongst campaigners that other countries who were affected by this as well with these blood products have paid out compensation. canada and ireland for example. whereas the uk government, this was pre—devolution, the uk covenant has not really accept any liability as of now. —— uk government bond ministers have said that depending on the outcome of the enquiry, compensation, if it is recommended, will be paid. compensation, if it is recommended, will be paid-— the government is promising to give details in the next few weeks of a coronavirus vaccine booster programme for the autumn after senior doctors said planning should be sped up. speaking on a visit to hertfordshire, the prime minister also says it's "very important we look at the opportunities" for releasing people early from isolation if they've had two vaccines. but mrjohnson is playing down suggestions it could be used to change foreign travel quarantine rules. here's our medical editor, fergus walsh, with the latest. your faxing is yourfaxing is being prepared now to

over 163,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period. more than 43.1 million people have now had theirfirstjab — that's around 81.9% of uk adults. over 109,000 people have had their second dose of the vaccine in the latest 24—hour period, meaning more than 31.4 million people have now had both doses — that's 59.7% of uk adults. scotland have been dealt a major blow ahead of their final group game in euro 2020 tomorrow. there are now questions over england as well. the 20—year—old midfielder, billy gilmour, has tested positive for covid—19 and will need to self—isolate for ten days. in the last few minutes, it has been announced that england's mason mount and ben chilwell are self—isolating. this is quite a serious upset so what will it mean for both teams? {lin

what will it mean for both teams? on the what will it mean for both teams? ie�*i the eve of one of scotland's's most important matches for years, this is devastating news. billy gilmour will of course not be available for the game tomorrow night but there are far wider implications. as you mention, for the scottish opponents on friday, england, two members of their squad are self—isolating and they say it is a precaution. they are ben chilwell and mason mount. it has raised questions as to how the virus was able to penetrate the biosecure bubble were the scotland squad is in. what a performance. billy gilmour ends his evening. there will be plenty more appearances for him in a scotland shirt. but there won't be tomorrow. awarded man of the match for his impressive performance on friday against england at wembley, butjust days later, billy gilmour has tested positive for coronavirus and will play no part in scotland's final group game. a real blow, and if billy gilmour is out now, of course the only spanner it throws into the works is he would have started and now he won't so it is a chance for someone else to come into the team and make themselves a national hero.

gilmour trained on sunday with the rest of the squad but was absent this morning. as yet, no other players have tested positive. a real blow, and if billy gilmour is out now, of course you have to think, who has he been mixing with? will we get any further news that he has been mixing close by with other players and they might be tested positive and might have to self—isolate as well? it is not good news for scotland. scotland face croatia here at hampden tomorrow night in a match which they must win if they are to have any hope of staying in the european championship. while the team is notjust about one man, many fans believe that billy gilmour is one of their best players and without him, they might struggle. their opponents, croatia, have never beaten scotland but in 2018 the were world cup runners—up. they will be a tough team to beat and nothing less than victory will do for scotland. a draw or a loss means they would stay in fourth place in the group but a win would move

them up to second or third. second, and they would automatically qualify. third means they would be dependent on results elsewhere. gilmour did not travel to glasgow, isolating at the team's training base in north—east england. if scotland do progress, he will not be involved in their next game either, giving head coach steve clarke a headache for selection but also concerns for the health of his players. this is the second time that a scotland player has tested positive for coronavirus. john fleck had to isolate before the tournament even begun. as for england, other than those two members of the squad that we mentioned who are isolating as a precaution, no other members have tested positive as yet. ahead of their final match, also tomorrow night, as natalie pirks reports. all smiles in a rain—soaked london. england's players were looking sharp this morning at training. it was a different story, though, on friday.

headed against the post! the most exciting line—up of attacking talent in a generation is at gareth southgate's disposal. but england's only shot on target came from a defender. where scotland looked solid and spirited, england were sluggish and subdued. no player more so than harry kane. the striker looking a shadow of his usual self. but southgate confirmed england's captain will start tomorrow. he is our most important player. he is the one that really has scored and created more goals than anybody else across a long period of time. so to get him at his best level and to get him operating at the level we know he can is a critical factor for us doing well in this tournament. well, the boos rang out after that off—colour performance, but the players have dismissed the fallout as an overreaction. if england win here tomorrow, they will top the group and play their last 16 match at wembley. perhaps now it's time to take off the handbrake.

i think england have been excellent defensively. they need to do more in the final third. it's been a good start to the tournament but it's not how you start tournaments, it's how you finish them. i think eventually england will come good. i think the final third, they need to be more creative. they need to start creating for harry kane. raheem sterling wants the players to show more personality. southgate wants them to work on their chemistry. but perhaps the most important ingredient in tournament football is courage. natalie pirks, bbc news, wembley. luckily, this news about the england squad hasjust broken. what more does the statement say? that squad hasjust broken. what more does the statement say?— squad hasjust broken. what more does the statement say? at the end ofthe does the statement say? at the end of the scotland _ does the statement say? at the end of the scotland game _ does the statement say? at the end of the scotland game we _ does the statement say? at the end of the scotland game we had - does the statement say? at the end of the scotland game we had bell i of the scotland game we had bell chill and mason mount hugging billy gilmour and that had huge ramifications. —— ben chilwell. the fa have said as a precaution ben

chilwell and mason mount are isolating after interaction with the scotland player billy gilmour. they will be kept away from the rest of the england players attending further discussions with public health england. they said the entire squad had a lateralflow health england. they said the entire squad had a lateral flow test and they were negative on monday afternoon as was the case with the match on sunday. they will continue to follow all prodigals while women in close contact with public health england so it looks likely that tomorrow ben chilwell and mason mount who has played every minute for england would be out of the czech republic game so a huge blow for gareth southgate and mason mount and for the fans who are excited to see what more mason mount could do against the czech republic.— against the czech republic. natalie, thank ou. our top story this evening.

a public inquiry into the infected blood scandal hears how teenagers infected with hiv in the �*705 and �*805 were told they wouldn't live to become adults. and still to come, as secondary pupils in scotland get their exam results, the national exam board is set to be replaced. and spectators will be allowed into the olympic games in tokyo but they will not be able to cheer. coming up in sportsday on the bbc news channel. new zealand weightlifter, laurel hubbard, makes history — becoming the first transgender athlete, we understand, to compete at an 0lympics. the organisers of the tokyo olympic games have decided to limit venues to a 50% capacity, with up to 10,000 japanese spectators. that's despite scientists advising the government that there should be no spectators because of the pandemic. the country's prime minister says the decision could be reversed if coronavirus infections surge higher. as it is, fans will be told not to cheer or even to speak loudly. rupert wingfield—hayes

reports from tokyo. tokyo! cheering. remember in those pre—covid days, when tokyo won the 2020 olympic bid? and people were allowed to celebrate like this. those mask free times now feel like a very long time ago. for a while it semed possible the tokyo games might actually take place with stadiums like this. but today, the organisers announced a compromise. as seiko hashimoto announced. in light of the government restrictions on public events, she says, the spectator limit on the olympic games will be set at 50% of venue capacity. up to a maximum of 10,000 people. that is very much not what the medical experts have been advising. just last week they said having no spectators would be

much the safest option. so how is it going down with japan's generally sceptical public? translation: i worry about having the games in the current situation. | translation: if they are just watching the games | there is no problem. but they are bound to go to restaurants and bars afterwards so i am worried about the infection spreading. what that young man said is very perceptive because the worry isn't really what the crowds do inside the stadiums, it's what they might do afterwards. people here in tokyo are already thoroughly sick and tired of the pandemic. you can see it in places like this. people drinking late into the night in bars that are openly flouting the covid regulations. and the olympics will be a signal to everybody that it's ok to go out and celebrate. that's what public health expert kenji shibuya is worried about. my biggest concern is we have not yet suppressed or eliminated covid transmission locally.

and we just lifted the state of emergency despite we have a pretty large number of cases in tokyo still and there is local transmission. and if we send an inconsistent signal that we should celebrate the olympics, then people will be confused and we will see larger risk of local transmission. the hope is the olympics will look something like this football match. the stands half full, spectators obeying the rules. but with infection rates rising again in tokyo, the next big wave of covid may hit just in time for the opening ceremony onjuly the 23rd. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. northern ireland's longest—serving mp, sirjeffrey donaldson has announced his intention to stand for the leadership of the democratic unionist party. the party has been in turmoil culminating in edwin poots being forced out of the job last week.

he had narrowly beaten sirjeffrey in the party's first leadership contest in 50 years — but was forced to stand down afterjust 21 days. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, is outside stormont. is this going to put an end to the dup�*s current troubles? political comebacks do not come any more quickly than sirjeffrey donaldson but few people here at stormont would expect the fortunes of the dup as a party to be rejuvenated so rapidly. it has been of a prison time for the biggest party in northern ireland and just a few weeks ago arlene foster was ousted after an internal party coup and then on thursday last we had her successor evan puts who had to resign. so in the past hour sir jeffrey donaldson has announced he will put forward his name for leadership once again and in a statement he focused on the issue that he thinks cannon should unite

his party and heal those fractures and that is the northern ireland protocol. the de facto trade border in the irish sea which he says is the number one issue facing northern ireland, its people and its place in the uk. another challenge she may face, he said in the past he would want to be first minister in the devolved government but to do that he would have to resign his westminster seat. he would have to resign his westminsterseat. he he would have to resign his westminster seat. he co—opted into the devolved assembly and then the whole process around the appointment of first minister would raise questions about power—sharing. it puts her to resign because his party had concerns over the conditions under which he was prepared to share power question fame sojeffrey power question fame so jeffrey donaldson may be unopposed as leader tomorrow but few would envy him for the task he has had. the exam board in scotland is going to be replaced, as part of what the scottish government says is a "substantial" overhaul of education. it follows the publication of an 0ecd report which backed the school curriculum as a whole — but found for senior students there was still too much

emphasis on rote learning and memorising of exams. it comes as secondary students in scotland have been receiving their exam results, as our correspondent lorna gordon reports. i got four as and a c and i was so relieved when i got that. i got all as in all my subjects and i felt absolutely buzzing. some of the top students at hamilton's holy cross high school. covid meant no final exams this year. provisional grades based on teacher assessment instead. even though it has been a hard time, it hasn't been an impossible situation and we have actually still been able to go on and prove ourselves. i think next year i would definitely like to sit an exam. because i don't want to go to university and get the biggest shock of my life. personally i would prefer this way because you don't - have the pressure of the final exam. good results here, but this has been a tough year for students, teachers and the exam body in scotland, the sqa. it has faced criticism for the way it has handled the replacement system for qualifications,

and now it is to be scrapped. james mcinerney teaches higher and nat5 english at a college in glasgow. he believes the problems facing scotland's education system run far deeper than simply the board overseeing exams. get rid of the sqa, that is the low hanging fruit for this, really. the sqa had to go, it was a dysfunctional organisation. but getting rid of the sqa doesn't solve the problems. we have an exam and qualification system that doesn't do what it's supposed to do and which magnifies the challenges faced by our most disadvantaged young people. and unless we are going to do something about that whole system, changing the name of the sqa isn't going to do anything. the sqa announcement came after an independent report on scotland's school curriculum, known as the curriculum for excellence. introduced a decade ago, its aim was to produce more rounded individuals. but the report said its visionary ideals had not fully succeeded, highlighting a misalignment between its aims and the narrow focus on exams in later years. it suggests a bigger role

for the continuous assessment of senior pupils based on classwork and regular tests, raising the prospect of an overhaul of scotland's traditional system of exams. i want to make sure that we have a system that is fit for purpose. we have been told today that curriculum for excellence is the right foundation but we need to make sure we are making the most of that, particularly in the senior phase. and i'm eager and i'm keen to hear from young people in particular but also of course from parents and teachers about what they would like to see within the qualification system. 0pposition parties say scotland's education system has for too long failed its children. change now promised for future generations. lorna gordon, bbc news, hamilton. more than a million people booked a coronavirus jab over the weekend.

after the nhs opened its vaccination programme to all adults. six months ago, 91—year—old margaret keenan was in the spotlight as the first person in the world to receive a vaccine outside clinical trials. she's urged others to follpw her example — and stayed friends with the nurse who gave her the jab. 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 cant 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. you've got this beautiful bond now as well. that's true, yes, that's true. it's nice because we're like family now! we are bonded! and i think sometimes it's really nice to see family after you haven't seen them for a long time. it is, it is. just going to be putting it in your arm, okay? relax your arm for me. it was sort of a private moment that happened in a room in this hospital, but also something which millions of people watched on tv. and i think it's fair to say, maggie, gave hope to so many people as well. this is the whole meaning. this was the whole meaning, that's what i've said

a thousand times over. you know, i hope that it got the ball rolling. this wonderful injection has been offered to them. in terms of the international interest after that jab back in december, what has that been like for both of you? do you talk about that? i had a letterfrom somebody which i thought was really lovely. the words she had written at the bottom of the letter was, what a courageous lady. and that was just it. and i thought well, you know, she thought that i'd done something really good. i didn'tjust do it for me. i did it for everybody around. i think it's a really big responsibility as well from my side to actually represent the nurses, the doctors, the health care workers that work in the nhs. that we do a lot of great things that we don't kind normally shout about. both of you will know there will be people watching this thinking, that's great, but i don't want to have the jab. i mean, do you have a message for them who might be seeing this? oh yes, yes. whatever you thought before,

please do have the jab. there is nothing to it. don't be afraid of a needle, just to save your life and to save other 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 are taking on and the decision, what is going to happen because of their decision. it's been a real pleasure to speak to both. it's my pleasure, my pleasure indeed. it's my pleasure. senior nurse may parsons and margaret keenan ending that report by my colleague dan walker. time for a look at the weather here's nick miller. some sunshine for the solstice today in scotland and northern ireland but more rain in southern england after what is turning out to be a very wet june so far. and one of the cooler summer solstice as you will find with temperatures just around 12 or

13 degrees. new weather fronts moving in tomorrow. it is raining now in parts of wales and the midlands. the rain which we slowly south but still starting the day in southern england tomorrow. much of the country clear tonight and quite cool for the time of year. parts of the highlands may even see some frost going into tomorrow morning. that is made up for by the bright blue skies to start the day. cloudy and damp in southern england were still some rain around in the afternoon. for many a fine day with warm and sunny spells but here comes that next weather system. rain hanging into scotland and parts of northern ireland as the afternoon goes on. and then tomorrow evening more of northern ireland and western

scotland seeing the rain.
