hard work of the employees over the past 15 months. any of us have been working longer hours than we did pre—coded. we have no commute time, we have been working substantially from home and we are tired. people are exhausted and it is a recognition by an employer and we need more of that by employers. mental health is a big issue. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. it may have been bright blue skies to start the day in scotland this morning, but it was cold. there was a properfrost in parts of minus morning, but it was cold. there was a proper frost in parts of minus two point for gum at the lowestjune temperature in the uk since 2012. close to freezing in the coldest parts of northern england and northern ireland plus 12 in southern england. that temperature didn't change much. it was a cold and wet summer solstice yesterday. these figure from the met office showing the locations yesterday, with a high

temperature, 12, 13. the second column is the same place is back in decemberfor column is the same place is back in december for the column is the same place is back in decemberfor the winter column is the same place is back in december for the winter solstice. if you look closely you will notice it was warmer on the winter solstice thanit was warmer on the winter solstice than it was yesterday. the upshot is if the heating has come on, that is why. our temperatures are at or below average for the time of your at the moment. we are in the blue here. forthe at the moment. we are in the blue here. for the next couple of days it may feel a little warmer if you get to see some sunshine, there would be a huge amount commit before temperatures fall back again later in the week and into the weekend. it is warmer at the moment because although we have high pressure goes by the author with the air is going from the west and not walking away from the west and not walking away from the west and not walking away from the ones out. into that high pressure a new set of weather fronts where it is gloating over now into the western isles, not for scotland summer breaks a frame with the breeze freshening. some rain putting into northern ireland as the other goes on. the rain we have had so far today in south—east england fizzling out but still be on quite cool in the north—easterly breeze. not as cold as it was yesterday. for many of us present in the sunny spells.

we are talking high teens. this is how the weather will play out for those much this evening. at hampden park grabbing over. maybe a bit of rain at the end of the match. more likely it will hold until after the match. at wembley it will be a dry evening. not particularly one. into tonight, we will see scotland and northern ireland getting more of the cloud and rain, eventually. for england and wales it will stay largely clear and this is where we'll have the lowest temperatures the night. for your port in the gold as rural spots. it will be a much milder start to the day tomorrow stop cloudier and wetter and misty. some patchy rain edging into north—west england. western parts of wales during day tomorrow. eastern scotland and much of southern central and eastern england will have some sunny spells around and it will be up reasonably warm. certainly warmer across the south—east of england. the first weather system just moving south of england and wales on thursday. we will look closely for a few spots of rain. some heavier rain on thursday

into scotland and northern ireland. this is going to move south during friday and then temperatures start to come down again for friday into the weekend. over the weekend it looks as if the bulk of any showers are going to be across parts of england and wales but sunnier skies will be in scotland and northern ireland. a focus for where you are or where you are going is available online through the app.— or where you are going is available online through the app. a reminder of our top story... ahead of important games in the euros for england and scotland tonight, concern over covid rules for players. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. good afternoon.

here's your latest sports news. now, a big night of football awaits in the euros. scotland need to beat croatia to qualify for the last 16. we'll be live to hampden park in a moment but first, england will be without mason mount and ben chilwell for their group decider against czech republic later. the pair are both self—isolating after coming into contact with scotland's billy gimour, who tested positive yesterday. well, olly foster is at wembley for us. olly, how much disruption does this cause england and their manager gareth southgate? it will certainly be a distraction for gareth southgate. he said as much before he learned that they would have two cells isolate for ten days. backdate that you friday night when they came into close contact with billy gilmore at the full—time whistle when they went over to the chelsea team—mate. critically, it was down the tunnel where they spent a number of minutes, 15, 20 minutes together, it is thought, in close proximity. england are doing the right thing and telling public

health england what had happened. they are having to follow those self isolating protocols. they will train privately away from the main group. the team will return the street after the match against the czech republic. they properly will not miss the match —— brobbey not miss then that match in this match. ben chilwell still looking to get onto the pitch. very little jeopardy associated with this game because both teams are already through to the last 16. that was confirmed at the last 16. that was confirmed at the results last night. but when you count to ten days, it is very unlikely that they would then be able to be involved in the last 16. if england win the group, and the need to do that by beating the czech republic, the last 16 game here is one week today, 29th, day after they come out of self isolation, but they will have played no part with the main group, that would be against france, germany or portugal. if the

cab second, monday 28th in cup and he can, that rules them out completely. very slim chance that if they finish third, that could still happen, they could play at hampden park in glasgow or seville. that would rule them out as well. it really is a disruption for this england team, who are looking to put things right after that very flat performance against the scots last friday night. and they would like to go out on a high against the czech republic, just so they go into the last 16, whoever they play, wherever they play, in the best frame of mind. yes, there is hope for a better performance tonight. thank you. well, scotland will be without billy gilmour, who tested positive yesterday, but in the last half hour all 25 other members of the scottish squad tested negative. john watson is outside hampden park for us and, john, that must be a great relief to scottish fans ahead of what is a crucial game tonight?

yes, a huge boost for the squad. i can imagine that steve clarke will have been watching closely the results of all of those covid tests which were done today to ensure that has been no further spread of the virus within the scotland camp. that is good news. i guess after that defeat, the opening defeat to the czech republic, there was a sense of inevitability about scotland's to admit, when you consider this was not the first covid i'd pick they have had to contend with. john fleck tested positive for the virus, six players had to isolate in lead up to this treatment. you then combine at the feet to the czech republic, the influential defender kieran tierney missing out that match. and now the news over billy gilmour. asjohn mcginn said, they will have to do it to the scottish way. that is reason to the scottish way. that is reason to be hopeful, steve clarke has said, billy gilmour was hugely influential in that crucial draw against england at wembley, but he is just against england at wembley, but he isjust one against england at wembley, but he is just one player. against england at wembley, but he isjust one player. he against england at wembley, but he is just one player. he only made against england at wembley, but he isjust one player. he only made his first competitive start in that

match. they managed to qualify without him in the side. he says that they have reason to feel confident to get that much needed win. it is a win that they need. that is crucial if they are to stand any chance of reaching the knockout phase at a major tournament for the first time in scotland's history. they can do it. what they will need to do though is score. they are not done that yet in this tournament. the only team in euro 2020 yet to score. that has been their problem. while steve clarke has them very organised, resilient, hard to beat down, it is that the other end that they need goals, and they need them quickly in this match to come if they are to go through. they can do it. they have a full squad to choose from following those negative covid tests today. and roared on, back playing at hampden park in front of a home crowd, 12,500 fans here. there will be some belief that they can do it and qualify for the knockout stage of a major tournament

for the first time in their history. yes, you feel an early goal is exactly what they need. just over six hours to go until kick off on both of those games. away from the euros, the first british and irish lions team of the summer has been announced, and eight players will make their lions debute againstjapan at murrayfield on saturday. there are four scots in the starting line—up and the team will be lead by tour captain alun wyn jones. 16,500 fans are expected to be at murrayfield for the first ever meeting between the lions and japan. you can see the full team on the bbc sport website. and, of course, there's plenty of build up to both england and scotland's matches at the euros tonight — on the bbc sport website — australia's government is protesting against a recommendation by the united nations�* cultural agency that it should do more to protect the great barrier reef

both had haemophilia and had been treated at their boarding school in hampshire. mr peach said the family's world fell apart after they learnt the news. when it came out in the papers, they were stigmatised then. could not travel abroad. were stigmatised then. could not travelabroad. it were stigmatised then. could not travel abroad. it was quite tough then. i miss these boys every day. every day. ijust want i just want to thank you all, especially all the witnesses. i do not know how they got through it, some of them. thank you for the time, the enquiry, it has been a long time coming.

if you are under 18 and want a nude image or video of yourself removed from the internet — you can — under a new scheme run by childline and the internet watch foundation. the iwf says reports of self—generated images more than doubled in the first three months of this year, compared with the same period last year. susie hargreaves, chief executive of the internet watch foundation, told us how the �*report remove' system works. this is a brand—new world first scheme that enables young people to self refer nudes images and videos of themselves. the wa it images and videos of themselves. tie: way it works images and videos of themselves. t'te: way it works as images and videos of themselves. tt9: way it works as they go images and videos of themselves. t“t9 way it works as they go on to the childline website and look for report remove, when you go into report remove, when you go into report remove, when you go into report remove, you are asked how old you are, then there is a method by which you can't verify your age and upload the image and we can assess

it and have it removed on your behalf. two ways to do it. one is to send the image, the other is to send the web page link, if you have not got the image but you think it is out there. one thing i want to give an assurance to young people is that the way we have developed this project is that your information is confidential and safe. your information that you share with childline, the personal details are protected, and when that image comes to as at iwf we do not know your name, we do not know anything about you, wejust name, we do not know anything about you, we just know it is an name, we do not know anything about you, wejust know it is an image and you, wejust know it is an image and you have been verified as under 18, then we take action accordingly. what we do as we assess it, if it is a criminal image we will apply digitalfingerprint and use a criminal image we will apply digital fingerprint and use that digital fingerprint and use that digitalfingerprints, not the image, to go out and find the duplicates. the reason this is ground—breaking as it is the first time in the world that young people have been able to do that in a safe and confident way,

and know that they are not going to be criminalised in the process, because we have the support of the home office, the police, and what we want to do is give young people hope, not make them scared that somebody is going to, that they're going to be trouble. iwf deals with sexual abuse, when you send a nude image, we assess it according to uk law, if it meets the threshold we get it removed. they have to be sexualised images for us to be able to do that. if you have shared a naked image of yourself that would meet the threshold so weird how that removed if you are under 18. we need to ensure, at the more to verify your age, to ensure, at the more to verify yourage, but to ensure, at the more to verify your age, but this is the start of something important and we are working very hard to make sure it gets easierfor working very hard to make sure it gets easier for young people to self refer. the key thing here is that everybody has got together to try and make this happen because we know

that for young people that can be the most appalling thing, to have that knowledge that their images are out there are being shared. for whatever reason that they shared them, they might have shared them willingly, they might have been groomed into having images and videos taken, whatever reason, they are victims in this, and we need to do everything we can to protect them and get those images off the internet. in self generated images you will have 16, 17 year who might be in a relationship, consensually sharing images, right through to children in their bedrooms, in domestic settings, being groomed online to do sexual activities which are recorded and shared on child sexual abuse websites. lockdown has contributed to it. there are so many ways in which these images can be shared and so much pressure on young people. when you think that 90% of images we removed last year were

self generated images of girls aged 11-13, self generated images of girls aged 11—13, we are talking of children at a vulnerable stage of life and they are very easily tricked or encouraged into doing this. we have to do everything we can not to blame the children and to say, this is a major problem, we have seen 117% increase this year alone. we have to do something together to get the message out to children, to find ways to build their resilience, to not pursue those images, but if they have shared them, do not blame them, and to help them to get those removed. the headlines on bbc news. two of the england team, mason mount and ben chilwell, self—isolate, after contact off the pitch, with scotland's billy gilmour, who's tested positive. a "national scandal". mps say white pupils from poorerfamilies, have suffered "decades of neglect" in england's education system. weekly reported covid deaths in the uk

drop below 100 for the first time, since last summer. new york city is voting to choose the city's democrat candidate for mayor and given the city's political makeup, the winner will be the heavy favourite to replace incumbent bill de blasio in the autumn election. our new york reporter nada tawfik looks the candidates and the issues dominating the campaign. new york is looking like its old self. fast paced and full of life. as residents emerge from the fog of quarantine they have a critical choice to make. who should lead the city? getting about 50% capacity in our office here. empty offices like this one in midtown are just one of the challenges the next mayor will face to maintain new york's global standing as a cultural and financial hub. retail is booming and you cannot get

a reservation in residential neighbourhoods because they are busy but we do not see that right now in the commercial district where office buildings are, because people are not coming back. as crucial as the recovery will be, crime and public safety is another leading concern of voters. the city has seen a rise in murder, shooting and anti—asian attacks. and it has provoked a debate on how to best approach to policing. it has complicated the left wing of the parties push for police reform. they pin their hopes on a civil rights attorney who has picked up powerful endorsements including from alexandria ocasio—cortez. we do not want to go back to the things that did not work. we must be honest about what has happened and a plan. there needs to be a plan in place that needs to say you don't need to choose between violence on the streets

and over policing. enthusiasm grew for a moderate, eric adams. the brooklyn borough president and former nypd officer received the backing of george floyd's brother. not only was i arrested and beaten by police officers but i went into fight for same reform based on a personal history. and then there is the yang gang. they are still hopeful that the polls have it wrong and that andrew yang has not slipped out of contention after his early frontrunner status. he comes as a private citizen with a fresh perspective and no baggage. so you like his outsider perspective? i do. three of the eight candidates are female. depending on how the votes sway, they could elect the first female mayor. it is time for a woman.

this is an unpredictable election and one of the most consequential in a generation. whoever voters choose will be judged on the recovery of the city and whether it is a recovery for all. hong kong's most popular pro—democracy newspaper, apple daily, after its assets were frozen by the authorities. hong kong's leader carrie lam has

again warned local media not to, as she put it, subvert the government. for the first time in three months, india's daily tally of new coronavirus infections has dropped below fifty—thousand. the latest twenty—four— hour figure is forty—two thousand. india also administered a record eight—million covid jabs on monday. a large number of poorer countries receiving covid—19 vaccines through the global sharing scheme do not have enough doses to continue programmes — that's according to the world health organization. the programme known as �*covax' has delivered 90 million doses to 131 countries — but a senior adviser has warned that it's not nearly enough the european court ofjustice has ruled that the video sharing website youtube and other internet platforms cannot be held liable for copyright—protected material posted online illegally by their users, provided they do not exercise any active control over it. a new study has found that drinking three to four cups of coffee a day could be linked to a reduced risk of developing chronic liver disease. researchers at the universities of southampton and edinburgh analysed the data of nearly half—a—million people and found decaffeinated coffee also offered benefits. just 5% of airline pilots in the uk are women. but now a new scholarship is aiming to encourage girls to consider a career up in the air. it's inspired by molly rose —

flew planes scross the country during the second world war, so they were ready for raf pilots to take to germany. jessica banham has more. mollyjust went for it, head first. she had no hesitation, she was always out there doing things that perhaps other girls dared not do. she might not have admitted it but there's no doubt molly rose was a trailblazer. she joined the ata atjust 21 and flew planes from the production line to airstrips around the country. would she consider herself a heroine? absolutely not. she would just say, wasn't i lucky to be able to do a job that was so worthwhile? margot looked at molly for a few seconds and smile. i'm so proud of you, molly, she said. and of the pilot that you have become. do you know when we initially proposed to recruit female pilots into the ata, you were exactly the type of person that i hoped we would find? film—maker paul was so moved by molly's story he turned it

into a novel and hopes to make a movie. he's also organising a scholarship fund to continue molly's legacy, working with the flight school in cambridge. it can cost around £10,000 to gain a private pilot's licence. the scholarship offers a young person an opportunity to embrace a career as a pilot, perhaps, a person that tried to be a pilot before but has not quite have the right opportunity or something has held them back. there she is. in 1938. the 1st of june. so she's actually not yet got to her 18th birthday, she's still 17. today, graham showed paul some of molly's mementos including her first pilot's licence and her old log book, showing she delivered more than 400 aircraft. she would have been thrilled and she would hope that it would have an impression, it would have, you know, it would give the opportunity to someone who was teetering

on the edge of wanting to train as a pilot, and would possibly say i cannot afford it because it's not exactly an inexpensive thing to take up. and would say, well, this scholarship permits me to do it. it's hoped over time, the scholarship scheme can be expanded, a fitting tribute to this pioneer of both aviation and equality. now it's time for a look at the weather. a lot of fine weather this afternoon. a blue sky start to the morning. a frost in the highlands. that temperature did not go down very much from the high yesterday

in the south of england. temperatures in the blue are below average for the time of year. over the next couple of days they get a little bit warmer, particularly where you see some sunshine, then temperatures drop back to average at the end of the week and into the weekend. it is no warmer at the moment because of that we have high pressure, the flow of air is coming from the west, not the south. into that area of high pressure, more weather fronts, clouding over in western scotland, some rain towards the north—west initially, and western parts of northern ireland as the day goes on. early rain towards the south and south—east of england fizzling out gradually. still cloud. it will brighten up but cool in the north—eastern breeze. this is how we are expecting the weatherfor the big games tonight. in glasgow, thickening cloud, there may be light rain before the match but holding

off until afterwards. at wembley for the england match, it is staying dry. tonight, we are going to see this cloud and rain push a little further into scotland, across northern ireland, much of england and wales will stay clear. here tonight we will have a lower temperatures. in the countryside it could be down to three or four celsius. milder start to the day tomorrow. cloudier start, some mistiness around coastal hills. patchy rain for north—west england and parts of wales today. east of england will stay dry. warm and sunny spells on the way. cloud and light rain and drizzle pushing further south for england and wales on thursday, brightening up in northern ireland and wales to the afternoon. more substantial rain in northern ireland and scotland. that moves south on friday.
