the matter closed. our political correspondent helen catt reports. yesterday, it was on one front page. today, the image of the health secretary kissing his aide in his departmental office is on many more, but matt hancock has apologised for breaking the social distancing guidance he helped set and promote, but questions are being raised. you ma sta but questions are being raised. you may stay in — but questions are being raised. 7m, may stay in office, but but questions are being raised. you. may stay in office, but can he do hisjob? i think may stay in office, but can he do hisjob? ithink it may stay in office, but can he do hisjob? i think it is may stay in office, but can he do his job? i think it is fatally compromised in a situation where he does not seem to abide by the evidence that he wants us to follow, which is critical to our safety and making sure that this third wave isn't much bigger than we fear. sorry i'm late. isn't much bigger than we fear. sorry i'm late-— isn't much bigger than we fear. sorry i'm late. isn't much bigger than we fear. sor i'm late. ., , ., ., sorry i'm late. the worry among some conservatives — sorry i'm late. the worry among some conservatives is _ sorry i'm late. the worry among some conservatives is that _ sorry i'm late. the worry among some conservatives is that this _ sorry i'm late. the worry among some conservatives is that this incident - conservatives is that this incident could become another barnard castle, reference to dominic cummings who travelled to durham during lockdown last year. he kept hisjob, which led to accusations of a one rule for

secretary and all of us in cabinet, we need to get on with thatjob. questions continue this weekend about whether these revelations make it possible for matt hancock to do so. helen kat, bbc news. england are being invited to "grab a jab" this weekend at hundreds of walk—in centres offering coronavirus

back to normal as soon as possible. and that message, getting a jab to get back to normal, is exactly what the government wants. it's set itself a target,

to offer a first injection to all adults byjuly the 19th, so they are making it as easy as possible because, as the number of people being vaccinated is rising, so too our cases. more than 90,000 people have tested positive in the last week and it's being driven largely by the delta variant. that's a bit more transmissible and, because it's more transmissible, that's why we are seeing an acceleration of the cases, but the reassuring thing here is that the number of people who are going into hospital and staying in hospital or becoming casualties appears to stay low at the moment. that's very encouraging. even so, it's too late

for glastonbury, but the hope is that everyjab in every arm will give us a more normal summer over the next few months. senior members of the democratic unionist party are installing sirjeffrey donaldson as the party's new leader today. he's northern ireland s longest serving mp, having represented the lagan valley for 2h years. sirjeffrey will replace edwin poots, who is standing down after only three weeks in the job. our correspondentjohn campbell is in county antrim. john, what's been happeneing there? well, senior dup members have been arriving here this morning to choose what will be their third leader in the last 50 days. it will be sir jeffrey donaldson, he is the only candidate. clearly one of the things you will have to do is try to rebuild party unity after what has been an incredibly divisive and damaging time for the dup. his predecessor, edwin poots, has not come here today. jeffrey is to have to find a route back from westminster to stormont, where he wants to become first minister and that will lead to a westminster by—election, which could be pretty tricky for the dup, but his major focus is going to be the northern ireland protocol. that is the part of the brexit deal which creates a trade body in the irish sea between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. the dup what the northern ireland foot got to be removed or at least radically reformed. thank you very much.

rescue teams in miami are continuing their search for survivors after an apartment block collapsed on thursday. the state governor has called for any explanation of why the building collapsed. the number of people unaccounted for now stands at 159 and four deaths have been confirmed. a coronavirus lockdown in parts of sydney in australia has been extended because of a sharp rise in cases driven by the delta variant. 7 the restrictions will now cover all of australia's biggest city and surrounding areas —? it has also been doubled to two weeks. 7 people are again being urged to work from home, and will only able to go out for essential trips.? from sydney, phil mercer reports. parts of sydney entered a lockdown on friday, but officials now believe even tougher measures are needed to contain the latest outbreak. they say the highly contagious delta variant is spreading quickly. if we are going to do this, we need to do

it properly. there's no point doing a three—day lockdown and then having the virus continue to bubble away in the community. a few days ago, i said this was the scariest time that i felt since the pandemic started and that has proven to be the case. millions of australians in sydney and beyond must now stay home, although they can leave to go to work, buy essential supplies, or exercise. to be honest, i probably think that it should have happened a couple of days ago because there's been a pretty decent spread the last few days. it's hard to imagine how they can go further without completely - stifling everything. they've taken the view l that they want to control the virus above everything else - and they've been successful in that. australia has consistently maintained very low rates of coronavirus transmission. it has become a fortress in an attempt to keep the virus out. most foreign nationals have been banned since march of last year.

but the lockdown has again exposed flaws in its defences at the border. that have allowed infections to escape into the community. this latest outbreak is linked to a limousine driver working with international aircrew at sydney airport. the vaccination roll—out here has also been slow. there are complaints that the government's planning has been confused and there's been complacency as well. fewer than 5% of the population are fully vaccinated. the lockdown in australia's biggest city is a jolting reminder that the pandemic is farfrom over. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. an mp who moved herself to a safe house after receiving death threats wants more protection for women in public life. carol monaghan, the snp mp

for glasgow north west, says social media companies must take action. a man is awaiting sentencing after admitting causing fear or alarm. wales are preparing to play against denmark later today, in the first of the knock out games in the european football championship. welsh supporters have been told not to travel from the uk for the game in amsterdam because of the risk of spreading coronavirus. our wales correspondent, hywel griffith is in amsterdam. an empty stadium, but were counting down the hours now. yes, absolutely. wales have had to crisscross the continent in this tournament so far. a few hundred fans in the stands in rome, which will probably be down to dozens here in amsterdam for the reasons you said. the dutch authorities said they would turn away anyone travelling from the uk

because it is considered a very high risk country. a few thousand danish fans will be allowed in, but only for a 12 hour bubble. well, the welsh players say they are disappointed, but undaunted by the task ahead of them. they face a danish team who are favourites and they also have a lot of neutral fans behind them, when you consider what they have been through. many of them will remember christian erikson collapsing in that first game and having a cardiac arrest. his recovery has helped to inspire that team and so they will have a lot of emotion, i'm sure, as the anthems are sung here on the pitch at the stadium in amsterdam. it is a 5pm kick—off british time. i know thousands of welsh fans will be watching in socially distanced beer gardens are on the sofas back home, hoping that wales can maybe relive that dream of 2016 when they made it all the way to the semifinals. when here today and it's on to the quarterfinals at least by heading

back. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 3:40pm. bye for now. let's get more now on the mounting pressure on the health secretary, matt hancock. there are calls for him to resign after pictures emerged of him kissing an aide in his office, in breach of coronavirus guidance on social distancing. earlier, i spoke to stephen dorrell, the former conservative health secretary from 1995—1997, who gave his view. i think there are two issues here. one is that matt hancock was asking millions of people to observe social distancing and clearly didn't do so himself, was caught out not doing so himself.

and secondly, there are, at the very least, questions over the process that led to this lady being appointed to the board of the department of health and even if those processes were in fact fully satisfied, i would stand back and ask whether it was a wise decision anyway. what should happen to matt hancock? i'm sorry, i didn't hear the question. what should happen to matt hancock? well... to be honest, i think matt should sit down, look himself in the mirror and say, "i wish to continue to be a public servant, but i can't "continue in this role now." he should resign. let's get more on the rescue efforts in miami, as the search for survivors continues, following the collpase of an apartment building two days ago. 159 people are still unaccounted for and four deaths have been confirmed. dan cooke is operations

manager at serve on's international response team and has lead search and rescue missions across the world. he explained what the rescue effort would entail. thoughts go out to those affected and those rescuers who are digging out, trying to help. it is a technical rescue and from a firefighter background it is not like a house fire that is relatively fast in terms of rescue or even a car crash, which can be an hour or two at worst, but this is days and nights, slow methodical work, very technical, and... i know that the team there, the task force there are based out of miami—dade, so as awful as it is, they have one of the world's heaviest and best trained teams literally local to this incident, which is a blessing. inaudible. having said that, it is slow going, you can'tjust pile loads of people on top of this thing, there is after...

there are secondary collapses that can happen and, yeah, it is a very hard job indeed. ok, so it is a technical collapse. you have already highlighted issues of weight there. what would be their first priorities, then? well, they will have already assessed the scene, in terms of utilities, making it safe from that point of view, looking at go and no—go areas, even assessing initial signs of places where voids might be. it was 1am in the morning, most people would have probably been in bed. in terms of survivability, people have lasted a lot longer than we have thus far, so there is a window of opportunity still. and then they will perform a technical search, so you mentioned dogs — there are dogs like ours that do collapsed structure scenting and they smell survivors, in simple terms, and tell you where the best chance of a scent is. there are also human remains dogs, which will probably be later on in the excavation of this collapse, but

they will also have to use seismic and acoustic listening, different types of cameras and also a little bit of piecing together which bit of the building was where and who was there at the time. so multiple lines of search and investigation take place, and sometimes they have to stop one to do the other, and again, if you were just trying to put a dog over a space or listen to it, you kind of have to get everyone off because it is so sensitive it will hear boots on the ground or anything like that, so it can appear slow, it can appear like people come away a lot and go back in, but in many ways that is the quickest way to hone in on survivors�* survivability. and on that, dan, just to complete our conversation, how long would the search and rescue phase likely go on for? well, because this is a footprint of an incident, it isn't an entire city or country, that means they can resource it really well to operate really quickly. there will be good medical

resources for people that are found that they can get them to and there is a chance of people surviving into the future, so it would be hard to put a limit on it. people have apparently survived two weeks, i have been around rescues that have been just under a week where people are still alive, trapped and we have pulled them out. so given the resources they have available and the location, i think they will achieve clearing this building relatively quickly, in a matter of days. that was dan cooke speaking to me earlier. the former us police officer who murdered george floyd in minneapolis last year has been sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. some of mr floyd's family and supporters said the sentence handed to derek chauvin wasn't long enough. the prosecution had demanded 30 years in prison, but president biden said the term seemed appropriate. earlier i spoke to professor nicole gonzalez van cleve, who's associate professor of sociology at brown university and the author of the book

crook county: racism and injustice in america's largest court. i asked herfor her reaction to the sentence. the family deserved justice and i thinkjustice looks like some kind of accountability. in a place like chicago, where i have done the core of my research, it took 50 years to convict one officer and that officer only had seven years as a sentence. and it doesn't feel sufficient. we see here that this judge was willing to look at other aggravating circumstances — the particular cruelty of the crime, the fact that children were present, the breach of the trust, for instance, that this officer violated, but the reason this doesn't feel like justice is because we have done nothing to prevent another death. so even in the duration of this trial, people were dying at the hands of the police at about three per day. and the day after the verdict, in the 24—hour period six people died, so the idea that this is some kind of a preventative measure or a deterrent... it isn't.

we need real police reform in america. three per day, that is quite a worrying statistic. so clearly, america has an issue with police brutality and also police brutality in relation to race. what made this particular case different, though? what we saw in that video was bystanders in some ways asking and begging for this officer to stop. you know, the visual of seeing, you know, him begging for his life and saying, "i can't breathe," and the officer looking right at the camera... i think the flagrant nature of that showed how police believe they are above the law and, to a certain extent, they have reason to believe that. prosecutors in america are unwilling to charge officers with murder and they do so because they need officers to win cases, or else they don't get promoted, so there is this kind of perverse incentive structure for prosecutors to look the other way literally when police are committing murder. and so, i think those

systemic issues are how we have to think about reform. it can't happen with one officer or one sentence, it has to happen systemically across jurisdictions across the nation. so clearly, then, that video footage and the world of social media is changing the direction that prosecutors are taking, but also i want to ask you this. how important is it that we note how white america views this case? does it matter? i think it absolutely does matter. i think there was some kind of awakening, if you will, with white americans for this case, right? the clear brutality of it. and i think when you think about the mass protests that happened last year, if it wasn't for those protests, which were kind of a multi—racial coalition of people being outraged, notjust in america, but around the world, if that didn't happen we wouldn't even have charges against chauvin. the local prosecutor did not want to touch this case.

you saw the video, he said to be public, "i don't see murder here." he saw the video, he said to be public, "i don't see murder here." and that was totally disturbing to people. all of us laypeople saw murder and they wanted it charged appropriately, so i think it does matter that there is some kind of multi—racial coalition. the only concern is that will white americans think this verdict is the end or will they think it is a beginning? and for me, in my research, if we have not changed policy, if we have not changed how officers are held accountable, this is just a symbolic victory and we need systemic change. just going to bring you some breaking news from northern ireland, and we are hearing that sirjeffrey donaldson has become the dup leader designate, after he was endorsed by the party's electoral college, receiving 32 of the 36 votes available. remember that he is going to be replacing edwin poots, who is

actually standing down after only three weeks in the job. you will get more on this through the day here on bbc news. this as we've been hearing, wales are preparing to play against denmark later today, in the first of the knock out games in the european football championship later today. welsh fans aren't able to travel to the match, though. we can speak now to wales fan ceri griffith who is the chief executive of the london welsh centre. how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to sav- _ how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to sav- i _ how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to say. i woke _ how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to say. i woke up _ how are you feeling? quite nervous, i have to say. i woke up pretty - i have to say. i woke up pretty early this morning with the jitters. why? have you got to or is it... they are playing denmark, who have got so much support at the moment. exactly. we are always nervous on match day, but the nerves have settled, even though we can't travel their stance. we will be behind the team, 100%, so... know, ithink we

on exotic holidays this year, but part of scotland's west coast has taken on a distinctly mediterranean look. the sea around the isle of arran has turned a stunning green—blue. our climate change reporter, harriet bradshaw, has been investigating why. you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a tourist ad for the mediterranean, but welcome to arran. this extraordinary colour has attracted lots of speculation. in the absence of any known sea samples being analysed, there is one theory experts seem to agree on. over the past 50 years, we have seen changes in the phytoplankton. i have come inland, near oban, to meet professor paul tett to find out more. he's been studying microscopic algae since the 1970s, known as phytoplankton. how rare is what we are seeing off the west coast, this turquoise colour? well, the only time i've seen in my working life seen it in my working life

was back in the 1980s, so i guess more than 30 years ago. what we are looking at are billions and billions of microscopically smallalgae, phytoplankton, which have got little limestone plates on their cell bodies and these plates reflect the light, so when you have these billions and billions of tiny limestone plates, then they scatter sunlight back through the water. is it something that we should be worried about? no, i would say this is undisputedly a good thing. they are helping to slow the rate of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and thus slowing global warming. scientists have been observing the phenomenon from satellites and up close and personal. tiny they may be, but insignificant they are not. the collection has around 3,000 strains of algae. so much so, a special collection is studied here at the scottish association for marine science.
